Tucker Carlson back in Moscow

[GMan_27]

The man is Russia's useful idiot to incite maga idiots. He is the furthest thing from a journalist and more like an influencer. He is basically in the employ of the kremlin to spread disinformation and further destabilisation efforts in the west. His interview with the unhinged Putin was basically just lobbing softball questions so that Putin can spew his ahistorical fantasies. He is also not venturing into any "lions-den", he is essentially just going back into his employers office like a normal employee.

Here is a nice run-down of his "journalism". Of course I doubt I will convince you @Redpossum but mainly for others not sold on Russian propaganda.

I am very interested to hear what Lavrov has to say.

He’s had plenty of opportunities to express his position over the years, so I don’t expect to hear anything new.

As for the Tucker Carlson situation in general, here’s how I see it: there is a state- and corporate-sponsored narrative that essentially every journalist in the Western world is supposed to promote. And there is one guy who is both independent and influential enough not to play along with it. This clearly falls under the Freedom of Speech category. Perhaps it’s not Freedom of Speech in its finest, but it still qualifies, in my opinion.

I think we all are at the stage of our lives when our believes are mainly formed already. So, you are clearly capable to listen to something and actively reject it.

Even if you disagree with a journalist, gaining a unique perspective on why certain things are the way they are and how they might develop can still be worthwhile. If you don’t find it valuable, nobody is forcing you to watch or listen.

One can always stay a useful idiot of the other side. That's much safer.

Has to go back to his masters to get new instructions and ensure his loyalty to them.

Did you actually watch the interview it's quite fascinating and enlightening as far as getting a picture of the situation beyond the mainstream media narrative and lies

Agree wholeheartedly GMan.......he's nothing but another useful idiot, like the Tenet Media right wing influencers. Peddlers of propoganda for paychecks. Hell, he could even be getting money. He is far from what I would consider a journalist - he's much more Type O+ Azzhat.

... Peddlers of propoganda for paychecks...

I think what you have inside your head is already perfect as it is.
You shouldn't let any "propoganda" touch it.
