like i don't give a shit about tuck but in what reality is simply talking to the "enemy" some kind of punishable offense. y'all supposed to be all about free press, are they not free to speak to bad people?
When Russia has repeatedly denied requests from other journalists in the past, I don't think that you can really associate Carlson with being "free press". This is a business deal, not journalism. How should we treat people who engage in business deals with sanctioned individuals?

"Press" has always been a business. This isn't the dunk you think it is. They have always dealt with and interviewed sanctioned individuals. Some even interview prisoners!
Putin is as far as one can get from Mandela.
