Previously, Carlson said he had planned to sit-down with the Russia president while at Fox News but then called it off claiming the U.S. government was monitoring him.

“I tried to interview Vladimir Putin, and the U.S. government stopped me,” Carlson told the Swiss publication, Die Weltwoche back in September. “By the way, nobody defended me. I don’t think there was anybody in the news media who said, ‘Wait a second. I may not like this guy, but he has a right to interview anyone he wants, and we have a right to hear what Putin says.'”

I'd expect the actual interview (which now happened) would be posted already, to be disected etc.

Do you have any idea why that isn't happening?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've seen some discussion about it. Apparently it was pretty boring.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

No way.. 'boring' is their takeaway oneliner? i can only imagine that such headline is meant to steer the lazy reader away from actual thinking.

fucking trash

I didn't know putin's crotch microphone still worked after all those years. Tucker probably brought him some Viagra. He's probably getting paid in the only way he can enjoy.

Touch black, no trade back.

With any luck they'll keep him.

Unironically, how great would it be if that loser officially takes a job in the Russian agitprop?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

He can throw himself on the mercies of Russia and Ukraine at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

It would probably not be good. He's very good at swaying right wing folks here in the US. He'd have more leeway over there.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 7 months ago

Guys, it was a job interview. He's not a real journalist.

In the war of Bullshit, the only winners are the ruling class.

Seems kind of harsh to curs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I apologize to all the innocent curs whom I've inadvertently offended by equating that trash with you.

He's chosen his master, let him stay there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

in this photo he looks like he's ranting about people having sex

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

~~this~~ every

[–] [email protected] 34 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Fingers crossed that he is arrested for drug trafficking

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

That only happens if he does something that displeases Putin. But Tucker won't do that because he's a cowardly worm.

What makes me curious is, not that he went to Russia, but just how did he get there?

From what I read, he had traveled to Alberta Canada and then it looks like he just flew to Russia from there. I'm under the impression that there is no commercial air travel from the US or Canada to Russia. So where did he fly to after he left Canada? China? North Korea? Cuba? Taylor Swift's private jet?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You sound just like him. Well played.

Step one, pretend you’re looking at the situation holistically by focusing on something semi-related.

Step two, frame potential answers as questions to be able to make your opponent look worse without actually saying anything verifiable.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nah i just looked, I can get a flight to moscow february 11 for 1900 bucks out of Toronto

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Heck, I'd fly to Moscow if they're going to pay me $1900 to do it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

He's just working out the flight plans for when it comes time for ol' donnie to make his exit
