Tucker Carlson claims he's interviewing Vladimir Putin because 'Americans are not informed' about the war in Ukraine - despite 'paying for it in ways they don't understand'

“So he’s stating straight out that he’s there with an agenda. To be an influencer, not an objective reporter.

And Putin will use him like a wad of Kleenex.”

True.

His arrogance will continue to defeat him.

My Father used to say: “If you could buy him for what he’s worth and sell him for what he thinks he’s worth, you would be a billionaire!”

Tucker is about to become the most recognized reporter in the world. Great, isn’t it!

Putin sounds very reasonable in the Tucker interview.

But it doesn’t explain 500,000 dead, or journalists and government government figures frequently falling out of windows, or the treatment of Alexander Navalny (which is worse than Trump, at the moment), and so on....

You are the textbook definition of a fascist. Fascists hate it when the people they hate get to be heard.

Tucker has turned himself into a tabloid...but there’s probably good money in it, I’m sure.

He said this interview will not be behind a paywall, so anyone can view it. And no one paid for his trip to Russia.

>>“Putin is a Communist.” That could well be, though not as >>overtly as his predecessors.
>>
>>“Putin is a Communist.” That could also apply to Biden, or >>to whoever pulls his strings.

Putin does care about Russia.

Biden and his cabal do not care about the USA

We *know* that the official US news is both inaccurate and woefully incomplete.
Nothing Tucker will do could make that any worse.
We need to hear both sides. Not only about this, but everything.

“Not a single American journalist has interviewed the leader of a nation waging a war that has taken hundreds of thousands of lives.”

Sadly, Tucker is all about Tucker.

“Entertain is exactly what a journalist must NOT prioritize.”

Oh, I disagree. A REPORTER seeks to inform facts, not editorialize or entertain. A JOURNALIST may employ facts, but his or her main objective is to influence; and one of the best ways to influence is to make the message entertaining (i.e., keep the audience engaged).

“And y’all are falling for it. What was it that P.T. Barnum said?”

What’s this “y’all” crap, kemosabe? I said Carlson is not a reporter, but is a journalist. Ergo, he has to entertain or his message (and journalists ALL have a message to impart) will likely be ignored.

“Oh, we get the enemy view all right. Right here on FR, every day.”

Sadly, this i true.

Tucker is getting MAX hate because there's $74 billion in profits hanging in the air right now (60 Ukraine + 14 Israel)...in the floundering "border bill."

The E.U. just handed Ukraine €60 billion and expected us to do the same. We're not.

So all day today there are fake stories about Ukraine being "out of ammunition" - an absurd charge - and that a town called Avdiivka will "fall" to Russia if we don't send the $60 billion immediately (they don't tell you that Avdiivka has 87.2% native Russian speakers vs. 12.5% Ukranian).

“If the transcript posted here in another thread is real, Carlson only asked one question about the war, “why did you invade” and Putin’s answer was “we didn’t.”
So the premise that this interview would inform doesn’t quite hold up.”

Thank you. I am not at all surprised!

Look in the mirror. You will see someone more aligned with Biden and the Democrats.

Maybe that is why you refer to people here as enemies.

Yeah, God forbid we get the enemy's view.

Russia isn’t my enemy. Ukraine isn’t my friend. I wouldn’t have a dog in this fight except that my taxes are funding the whole debacle.

Putin is a Communist. Be very careful as he’s playing both sides.

No.... he most assuredly is not. Communism in Russia is in gadfly status like the David Duke types here. He has openly warned America about not following the path into madness that his nation did in the 1920a.

It’s idiotic to pretend he is a communist.
