His interview with Milei has around 121 million views, so apparently a lot of people care about what he has to say.
What I found interesting about this whole thing is that, while itś pitched as a story ¨Socialist Biden will make America into
Venezuela Argentina¨, I came across it on the Argentina subreddit. There, it was met with resounding acclaim (that thread is very pro-Milei, with the same kinds of superhero mashup memes that populated r/TheDonald in 2015). Very few people seemed to know of Tuckerś reputation in the States, his recent exit from Fox, the Dominion lawsuit, his interview with Obama´s ¨gay lover¨, etc. It was more like, ¨Trumpś favorite journalist likes Javier! All the way from the USA they see our strife!¨
(I guarantee you Tucker´s audience domestically knows next to nothing about Argentina, and really doesn´t care.)
Then I go to YouTube to watch the interview, and in the course of an hour, dozens of weird accounts had posted the full video without comment... all Spanish versions, not for English-speaking audiences.
My take is that the Atlas Network is hard at work. More manufactured chatter, more media airtime, correlated with more votes for Trump in 2016. Do the peers of the Koch brothers see investment opportunities if things are privatized in Argentina? Do they like his anti-China stance? I don´t know the endgame, I just know the online tactics are nearly identical to USA in 2016.
For a country that used to be so on guard against US interference, I am a little surprised Tucker is greeted as anything but a propagandist.
