I'm not even angry at Tucker Carlson. He's well known to be a piece of shit, lol.this is purely your anger talking m8, not your logos.
Regardless of how you personally hate the man and his stances, tucker is a registered journalist under his own company. Legacy media like fox *does not* decide who or what is a journalist in the professional sense.
no, he is categorically, demonstrably >not< a propagandist, see: explainer to @Uplifted above
yes, what he did in the interview was proper journalism/ he is a journalist.
you mistake “real activism” for “real journalism” which given the political ecosystem you’re in might be understandable..
no, they are not. Journalist are expected to ask questions to try to get to the bottom of things. They are not expected to be debaters trying to “pwn” the opponent by “calling them out”
a journalist *can* do it, but is not *expected* too
Only by legacy media outlets and entities toeing the line.
this interview is pretty much the biggest bombshell in its archetype in ages.. and EVERY one of his “critics” is using his material to give their own take.
ill leave you to calculate the revenue of the (copyrighted) image material used left right & center![]()
I didn't even say anything bad about Trump, though. Just that he's buddies with Putin.Figures
Seriously dude? You really had to pull this, an interview with the enemy of a hellish war on the other side of the planet to your own USA Orange Man Bad woes didn’t you?
come on..
he's buddies with Putin.
the interview with Putin was no different
but surely you would have expected Tucker to ask questions in a way to subtly show Putin is talking bullshit?
Trump has been praising Putin for years, which is a little odd and definitely goes beyond ordinary statesmen interactionsNo, He’s not,
in the same way that Macron and Putin are not,( and the latter has been way more cordial then trump ever was.)
they have (had) polite diplomatic back & forths, which is what they should do as statesmen.
You don’t get to peddle virtues like “truth” and “objectivity” and then go around shamelessly touting propaganda/ half-truths/ lies from your own camp 2 seconds after @dmgtz96

What do you think about giving a platform for a liar? Because that's what is happening here.First..How do you know? You haven’t even watched it m8?
Second: the goal was to >interview< Putin. Get to know how he sees it. Not to debunk him on the spot.
Putin’s lies can be perfectly dissected afterwards.
Yeah That doesn’t make them each others “buddies” who go and exchange hugs and presents at birthday parties m8.Trump has been praising Putin for years, which is a little odd and definitely goes beyond ordinary statesmen interactions
Yes we did, and had you bothered watching it you would have learned that “denazification” is but a minor secundair motif as to why Russia (eventually) chose to invade.What do you think about giving a platform for a liar? Because that's what is happening here.
We've known for a couple years that Putin uses "denazification" to justify invading Ukraine, so did humanity learn something new from this interview? Again, I haven't watched it, so I can't comment too much about it, but did we *really* learn anything new? Or was it just Tucker Carlson stroking Putin's ego?

Ah.. legacy media magnates.haha - we're actually very similar in pretty much every other way!!
Anyway - my thoughts on the subject are Rupert Murdoch is the most evil man to have ever lived and is (indirectly) responsible for more death than Hitler ever was.

You can respect and even praise an enemy for his competence, and him still being your enemy/political adversary.
Wow, so much to unpack here.Gorbachev made agreements with the US that the west not add one single inch of expansion towards Russia. The most respected and succesful diplomats at the time from the US noted that it would be an absolute disaster and provocation to do so. Well that's what they've done over the decades since. Not just an inch but thousands of miles, going as far as to installing governments, military bases and even bio labs on Russia's doorstep.
Put yourself in their shoes. Russia has been invaded 3 times through Ukraine, and millions upon millions died. Their lands were brutalized in unimaginable ways. The US and UK has never been invaded. We will never grasp the mindset. The threw past agreements in their face and aggressively militarizes the Ukraine. These basic historical facts fly over the head of 90% of people when they form perspectives about this war.
The invasion from Russia is still illegal and unnecessary. Ukraine is nothing but a proxy between two super powers who are led by egotistical tyrants and military influence. There are only two reasons for this war. Weaken Russia and fill the pockets of military contractors, who are about to receive 13 billion from US tax payers.

One half, Uplifted being among them, does/did.Wow, so much to unpack here.
Have you considered that maybe the Ukrainian people have agency and decided that they don't want to be with Russia? That they would prefer to get closer to the West and leave Russia behind?
