Tucker Carlson set to interview Vladimir Putin
Carlson would become the first member of the Western media to interview the Russian leader since Russia's invasion of Ukraine almost two years ago.
Carlson is essentially admitting to being a Russian asset.
Yeah he wraps it up in a neat little package to make it seem like he's just trying to be a benevolent journalist, but anyone with two or three functioning brain cells can read between the lines here. It's really creepy and disturbing especially when you realize tens of millions of Americans like and believe this guy. SMH
Yeah, I'm not sure how else he'd have the connections to set up that interview, or why they'd reach out to him.
It amazes me that Fox news viewers can't connect the dots on even the simplest of lies.
That would require thinking about things they're not specifically told about, and fox "news" programming inherently selects against people with that ability. Anyone who has that ability will stop watching Fox because they'll quickly see through the lies and stop watching.
And so is every politician that supports him doing this
The Twitter discourse is all conservatives saying "Dems HATE this but it's JOURNALISM! The LIBERAL MEDIA refuses to interview him and theyre calling it TREASON but HE'S RIGHT! They're hypocrites because they didn't call it treason when X LEFTIST journalist interviewed him years ago!
And at first I got a little swept up in it, I was thinking "yeah actually it is good to interview world leaders even if they are involved in wars, I agree with the Right on this.'
But then I just went to check on what actual left leaning people and journalists were actually tweeting. Left leaning people were saying it was going to be bad because Tucker isn't a journalist and he was going to make a puff piece for a dictator full of misinformation. So it wasn't that interviews with Putin are bad, it's that this interview will be bad.
Journalists are saying they've all had interview requests in for years, they want to interview him he just refuses Western media and the question is how Tucker got the interview. If he promised softball questions or gave editorial control to Putins team or something things could get real not-journalism-y fast.
a puff piece for a dictator full of misinformation
It's not a puff piece. It's full-on Russian propaganda tailor-made for American conservatives. The entire point is to draw even more conservative voters into the fold and convince them that the US needs to stop supporting Ukraine and move towards pulling out of NATO.
This is a symptom of a larger problem, which is that the bar for journalism for conservatives is literally just the big red R next to their names. Anyone who labels themselves republican can suddenly tell no lies and do no harm. That's exactly what right wing media wants, but it has destroyed the very integrity journalism has been built on for 100+ years, and the kicker is that conservatives in this country don't even have a clue about it.
This seems like a test question for journalistic ethics.
I don't know what the answer is but I am confident in saying that Tucker won't "do the right thing".
I can picture the whole interview already.
Tucker: "Mr. Putin, why did you invade Ukraine?"
Putin: "We had many very legitimate reasons. Ukrainian nazis, US imperialism, NATO expansion."
Tucker: "What will it take for you to stop this war? Will you guarantee peace?"
Putin: "We are a very rational and forgiving people. We ask for nothing but the unconditional surrender of Ukraine. We will treat everyone with respect and we won't meddle with any other country outside Ukraine. KGB spy pinky-promise."
Tucker: "Mr. Putin, may I suck your cock?"
Putin: "You may."
30 minutes of slurping noises
I need a remindme bot to remind me if this will all come true.
A bot would be nice, but I know it will. Putin will use this interview to sow more division, undermine certainty (whatever is left of it) in an Ukrainian victory and to make himself look reasonable and willing to talk. And Tucker, by virtue of being both part of the new, autocracy-loving breed of conservative and unable to mount any serious push-back against arguments made, will fail entirely in giving proper context to anything Putin will say.
The interview will devolve into pure propaganda for Putin, another link for delusional Russia-supporters to point to and proclaim that the West is responsible for everything and that the whole situation would be fine and dandy, if only Ukraine surrendered.
If you would be keeping up with the news you would've known that, they wanted to discuss neutrality,
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60901024
but then peace negations have been stalled on the ukrainan side, per request of the Brits.

And after that they forbade em by law.
https://nypost.com/2022/10/04/zelensky-signs-law-declaring-talks-with-putin-impossible/
Hence, no Putin alone cannot stop the war. There is still too much pressure on all sides to keep the war going.
While poor guys on both sides are paying the highest price for someones wallet to be bigger.
So Tucker Carlson, the man who reportedly fucked a donkey once, will suck Putins cock on a livestream. His dreams must come true.
Don't forget, you can only see it on his pay site lol biggest grifter
“...Elon Musk, to his credit, promised not to supress or block this interview once we post it on his platform X.“ (3:51 ; “We're in Moscow to Interview Vladimir Putin“)
Either that or he ends up in the same bunk bed as Navalny.
Will he have to spit into a jar that then gets placed in Putin's shit and piss transporter briefcase?
So Tucker Carlson, the man who reportedly fucked a donkey
Wat? I've never heard of this.
Can we just… leave him there?
Please keep the assholes you breed
GOP's sugar daddy doesn't like his party's results he paid for and wants to speak to their voter base directly; cut out the middle persons. Got to love how stupid people watch this propaganda for hire clown or the media mercenaries he spawned from.
I'd like to see Tucker interview Jon Stewart again.
Stewart's line about how can another administration be more absurd than the Bush administration dated surprisingly badly.
I'd actually like to see Stewart interview Carlson this time around. He's even better at it now than he was back then. I bet he could make Carlson stop with the "I need to shit" look the way he made him stop wearing bowties.
This is the interview that got us the Tucker we have now. God only knows what we get if it happens again.
Also I dont think either of them would be interested in it. Stewart probably doesnt talk to actual Nazis and Tucker wont leave his safe space. For gods sakes he interviewed catturd
I can't wait to find out what really stupid asskissing questions he asks Putin with that fake confused look on his face.
Are we sure he's not permanently semi confused? Like, wouldn't surprise me to learn that he doesn't quite have a grasp on things.
At this point I refuse to give this shit stain even the smallest benefit of doubt. He's 1000% aware of what he's doing, what he says, and the results.
If you have some whisky handy to make it palatable, watch the Carlson-Col.Macgregor interview for an idea of what to expect.
Disgusting.
Tucker Carlson set to interview his boss
FTFY
Cucker Tarlson is pulling a Tulsi Gabbard. What a fucking surprise.
He's always been a Russian asset. Kremlin memos leaked instructed RT to air as many Carlson clips as possible.
Ahh yes, the propagandist too controversial even for Fox News. Tens of millions of Americans will watch this heavily curated interview and think that Putin is a pretty good guy.
He was only too controversial for them when he cost them a shitload of money.
^ This. Same reason O'Lielly is not there.
Can we jsut let him stay over there? He seems happy to suck putin wiener
I wonder if Carlson is fully aware of how deep the hole is that he is about to crawl into. He likely already is a full russian stooge, but if not, he's about to find out just how tyrannical despots can be when you're in their power. Imagine the open and implied threats to his life and his family as they walk him through exactly what to say. Imagine how they dissuade him when he suggests certain questions that he wants to ask. If he strays from the exact script? Somebody get a picture of him when he returns to the states, and if it's within a week of the interview, see how many bruises, cuts, limps, or other signs of 'treatment' there are.
I just don't understand why.
He already has enough money to never work again. What is wrong with these people?
When you're a psychopath of one description or another, who knows what might motivate you?
Most of us normal people are content to be free to spend time with friends and family doing the things we love. Imagine if you couldn't give a shit about that, and that's basically the world's most successful people.
Their lineages have spent recent human history honing capitalism to be the vessel for the freedom of their kind. Money buys you freedom from consequences most of the time. That shouldn't be possible.
The internet opened up their world for us to see, and for a moment it looked like we might sieze control. Instead, we let ourselves be manipulates into thinking they do in fact give a shit, or at least if we tag along we'll be winners too.
The names we know are the ones who court controversy for the thrill.
Elon Musk is an excellent example. Whatever talents he has are moot next to his moral insanity. All he cares about is having a legacy, and achieving the things he wants. He just pays lip service to any real altruism. I mean, he's the last person who needs to preside over horrific working conditions. He even bans PPE because he doesn't like bright colors.
Money is a drug more dangerous than heroin.
Have to keep your boot on the throat or they might take a breath and see clearly.
So… he’s basically getting an employee evaluation.
May he stand near many open windows, rooftop edges, and elevator shafts.
Does Putin's shaft count? Oof.
Tucker ‘Bussy’ Carlson.
Must be weird to be interviewing your boss.
The “interview” is just cover.
My bet is Putin is vetting Tucker Carlson for Trump’s running mate.
Once Tucker kisses the ring, and likely commits a crime (or other misdeeds) on Putin’s orders (to serve as puppet-string kompromat for Putin’s plans), Putin will give the blessing for Trump to announce Tucker Carlson as his VP running mate.
Then, just imagine a 2028 Presidential bid from Tucker (win or lose in ‘24)…
Nah, Cucker seems to be fitting well into his role as Goebbels 2.0
What a dick
The rumors were correct? Holy shit.
If they were correct, they weren’t rumors.
Being correct or not isn't what qualifies something to be a rumor.
That’s what the kids are calling a sloppy BJ with an angry rimjob these days?
Great, Tucker Carlson isn't done being in the headlines so he's going full Johnny Knoxville and is planning on taking a sludge hammer to the nuts. Thanks fox.
If I want to watch someone give Putin a softjob, I can always watch Oliver Stone's interviews.
Is this like a managerial review of his boss or something? Stupid HR probably gonna throw little tucker a pizza party.
If anybody wants to view some less biased Interview with Putin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Putin_Interviews
Of course Putin is a sociopath and excellent liar. But he's not a raving Hitler foaming at the mouth.
Hitler wasn't a caricature either.
The idea that evil has to appear a certain way is from stories we tell to children. Evil people will generally appear pretty normal day to day.
Hitler went to all that trouble learning oratory and acting to sway the masses. Then you have someone like Donald fucking Trump who just blurts random, incoherent bullshit and still sways the masses.
If he saw Trumps popularity he'd probably sigh and say: "Ihr Amerikaner seid verdammt zurückgeblieben"
Or better, psychopaths are often thought of as charming
Oh yeah, two aging psychopaths jerking each other off with their respective victim narratives for an hour untill they cum hotnabd creamy bullshit all over the screen... Sounds very appealing this interview
Fucking yikes, I don’t know what else to say.
Maybe he can just stay.
Dear Putin, me ole mucker, please send Carlson to fight for you in Ukraine. Cheers.
Ah so that's what Cucker is up to
It would be a mighty shame if the interview broadcast experienced a distributed denial of service attack, wouldn't it? Thankfully for Putin, the west is above such chicanery and would never dream of screwing their opponents over like that.
At this point, it seems very prescient that red was chosen as the color of the con movement....maybe that's why tiny d always wears a red tie - maybe someone should feed that the Qtards.
Он в пуке держится?
This is going to be a trainwreck and I'll have a hard time looking away.
Why is this news?
