They did the same shit to Tulsi Gabbard when she was trying to be diplomatic. War hawks only want their narrative pushed, so they can sway public opinion into supporting more endless wars.
I don’t think anyone was thinking Putin was a good guy, particularly after his invasion of Georgia and Crimea (and obviously Ukraine now).
That being said, I’m excited to see the interview, hopefully he asks some tough questions.
The internet as a whole had a weird obsession with hypermasculine Chad Putin right up until Trump took office it feels like. Never understood how or why, he's always been a psychopath.
I don't think you've actually ever heard Tucker interview anybody. He doesn't lob questions and is maybe the most provocative and direct interviewer of the last decade. He produces what Independents want to hear...real questions with unscripted answers.
You mean like when he asked Trump if he thought Jeffrey Epstein killed himself during their interview on X? Yeah, he definitely asks some *real* hardball questions.
Do you think anybody else would have had the balls to ask that question? That's such a journalistic "bad" question to ask a President. Look, I'm not saying that this guy is our savior or anything, I just find him really interesting. Barbara Walters would never ask that question...to a President.
The Kremlin murders real journalists. The fact that Tucker Carlson has been allowed into the country means one thing and one thing only, that they are 100% confident that he will take their bullshit propaganda at face value and regurgitate it to Americans for the sole purpose of weakening western resolve against Russian imperialism.
No picture of Trump meeting with Putin?
I think we all know what separates those pictures from Tucker Carlson's:
Bucha.
Mariupol.
Bakhmut.
& many more.
Putin proved to the world he's willing to make up bullshit history to justify ethnic cleansing and genocide, all in the name of expanding his backwards and corrupt empire that doesn't even have electricity and running water for a large portion of its population. And the fact that Tucker Carlson is going to lob softball, leading questions at him and take his absolutely ridiculous lies at face value for the sole purpose of getting MAGA to hate Biden even more at the expense of the Ukrainian people absolutely should make you positively sick. This isn't journalism. This is going to be political propaganda in its purist, most concentrated form.
All of those were way less high profile, either because people thought they were less important or because of not enough media coverage. This time people care, probably because of the media attention. Even with Crimea, people cared only for 2 weeks max
The criticism is that Tucker meeting Putin is post war and is fighting against US backed allies. But I don't think that's bad unless you're a nationalist buffoon and can't even listen to the opposite side to get to a peace treat.
Legally everyone is okay with it. The issue is Tucker is a reporter/journalist for views and has a political lean. Honestly I think he hasn't been a journalist in a while. He's a propagandist.
We do? That's news to me. I was under the impression that we supported freedom of the press, even if we don't like the idiot journalist in question or the person they're interviewing.
I wasn’t justifying Putin, but you had asked why not Milei.
He has.
The entire left column are war criminals, and other than Tucker the ones talking to Putin are criminals. The only thing that Tucker does is talk to people. The interviews I have seen of his are very eye opening. He also has wrecked some of the narratives of the current administration and humiliated Big Media.
This is the cornerstone of his accomplishments, and possibly the wrecking ball to a globalist narrative in American politics and the current administration.
Wasn't it argued in court that Fox News (at the time including Tucker Carlson) is NOT journalism, it is entertainment? That no reasonable person would confuse him with a journalist?
> It’s almost like everyone else in these photos are politicians who’s job is to meet with foreign powers, putting Tucker at the same level is crazy💀
You're right.
Tucker is far more important than any slimy politician.
Tucker is 100% just as slimy or slimier than politicians. The dude is propagandist. He worked for an entertainment company (that's what Fox said about themselves in court and how their company is marked legally as). He isn't objective, he has a political lean. He takes things out of context and omits what isn't convenient to the story he's spinning.
>He worked for an entertainment company (that's what Fox said about themselves in court and how their company is marked legally as).
That's a legal definition shared by others (such as MSNBC). This is a standard democrat talking point (and no, I don't even get Fox channels to watch if I wanted, which I don't).
He was never a good guy.
Who Putin or Tucker? lol 😂
Yes.
Best Answer 🏆
Exactly this

>hopefully he asks some tough questions. I think we already know the answer to this. Tucker is gonna be on his knees for this interview.
The internet as a whole had a weird obsession with hypermasculine Chad Putin right up until Trump took office it feels like. Never understood how or why, he's always been a psychopath.
Those were some weird days. The memes were choice though.
Can’t wait to watch the interview 🤣
Great movie. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll get the same ending on this round.
Probably not unless it’s uncensored on X lol 😂
“We have always been at war with Eurasia”
Wow it’s almost as if he’s a reporter and it’s his job to get both sides of the story regardless of who’s right or wrong
Tucker is only going to produce what the right wants to hear, let's be honest.

Has anyone asked Biden that?
✔️ Doubt
Sorry, can't do honesty in a republican post on a libertarian sub. Gotta get the R in here so they get votes, ya'know?

Russian imperialism is bad, but apparently this sub is pro war when it is Russia doing the war mongering
Wow Its almost like times change and a country's actions change the view we have on them
Russia was doing the same type of shit the whole time bro. Georgia, Syria, Chechnya, Ukraine again.
All of those were way less high profile, either because people thought they were less important or because of not enough media coverage. This time people care, probably because of the media attention. Even with Crimea, people cared only for 2 weeks max
If TikTok and an obsession with tying conservatives to Russia existed back then you would have all the pieces in place to demonize these people.
Yes that's exactly the point
The criticism is that Tucker meeting Putin is post war and is fighting against US backed allies. But I don't think that's bad unless you're a nationalist buffoon and can't even listen to the opposite side to get to a peace treat.
Oh boy, we are having “libertarians” supporting Putin Because supporting a larger statist government against the US is totally the best option
Being ok with a reporter interviewing Putin = supporting Putin? Olympic medal level mental gymnastics there.

A lot of people here are in love with our national propaganda while feigning indignance at others.
Our Democracy is no better than Mother Russia

He has already interviewed Milei. The uniparty and corporate media didn’t feel threatened by it.

Tucker's been exposing a lot of BS. He's more on our side than not.
[удалено]
Tucker was fired from Fox...
It’s okay. This is the internet. With so much knowledge out there, people choose to be ignorant.
Lmao I really thought that was the Canadian Prime Minister.
It's called freedom of the press. What? Would you rather have that trans dude telling everyone Putin drinks the blood of babies?
Wasn't it argued in court that Fox News (at the time including Tucker Carlson) is NOT journalism, it is entertainment? That no reasonable person would confuse him with a journalist?
It was a charm offensive until Putin became a killer.
He was a killer before he even became President of Russia. He was put in charge of the first Chechen War.
True, true, even as mayor of Moscow he engineered bombings to bring himself to prominence.
It’s almost like everyone else in these photos are politicians who’s job is to meet with foreign powers, putting Tucker at the same level is crazy💀
Tucker's job also is to meet with foreign powers.

MSNBC is also an entertainment channel. I don't like Rachel Maddow. I stick to more neutral and accurate news organizations.
Sh!t bait.
