Carlson is essentially admitting to being a Russian asset.

The Twitter discourse is all conservatives saying "Dems HATE this but it's JOURNALISM! The LIBERAL MEDIA refuses to interview him and theyre calling it TREASON but HE'S RIGHT! They're hypocrites because they didn't call it treason when X LEFTIST journalist interviewed him years ago!

And at first I got a little swept up in it, I was thinking "yeah actually it is good to interview world leaders even if they are involved in wars, I agree with the Right on this.'

But then I just went to check on what actual left leaning people and journalists were actually tweeting. Left leaning people were saying it was going to be bad because Tucker isn't a journalist and he was going to make a puff piece for a dictator full of misinformation. So it wasn't that interviews with Putin are bad, it's that this interview will be bad.

Journalists are saying they've all had interview requests in for years, they want to interview him he just refuses Western media and the question is how Tucker got the interview. If he promised softball questions or gave editorial control to Putins team or something things could get real not-journalism-y fast.

I can picture the whole interview already.

Tucker: "Mr. Putin, why did you invade Ukraine?"

Putin: "We had many very legitimate reasons. Ukrainian nazis, US imperialism, NATO expansion."

Tucker: "What will it take for you to stop this war? Will you guarantee peace?"

Putin: "We are a very rational and forgiving people. We ask for nothing but the unconditional surrender of Ukraine. We will treat everyone with respect and we won't meddle with any other country outside Ukraine. KGB spy pinky-promise."

Tucker: "Mr. Putin, may I suck your cock?"

Putin: "You may."

*30 minutes of slurping noises*

So Tucker Carlson, the man who reportedly fucked a donkey once, will suck Putins cock on a livestream. His dreams must come true.

Can we just… leave him there?

GOP's sugar daddy doesn't like his party's results he paid for and wants to speak to their voter base directly; cut out the middle persons. Got to love how stupid people watch this propaganda for hire clown or the media mercenaries he spawned from.

I'd like to see Tucker interview Jon Stewart again.

I can't wait to find out what really stupid asskissing questions he asks Putin with that fake confused look on his face.

Tucker Carlson set to interview his boss

FTFY

Cucker Tarlson is pulling a Tulsi Gabbard. What a fucking surprise.

Ahh yes, the propagandist too controversial even for Fox News. Tens of millions of Americans will watch this heavily curated interview and think that Putin is a pretty good guy.

Can we jsut let him stay over there? He seems happy to suck putin wiener

May he stand near many open windows, rooftop edges, and elevator shafts.

I wonder if Carlson is fully aware of how deep the hole is that he is about to crawl into. He likely already is a full russian stooge, but if not, he's about to find out just how tyrannical despots can be when you're in their power. Imagine the open and implied threats to his life and his family as they walk him through exactly what to say. Imagine how they dissuade him when he suggests certain questions that he wants to ask. If he strays from the exact script? Somebody get a picture of him when he returns to the states, and if it's within a week of the interview, see how many bruises, cuts, limps, or other signs of 'treatment' there are.

So… he’s basically getting an employee evaluation.

Reminds me of The Interview: Just sit near a window or shake hands with a fake gum.

Tucker ‘Bussy’ Carlson.

What a dick

Must be weird to be interviewing your boss.
