International Tucker Carlson in Russia to interview Vladimir Putin UPDATE - Also Dugin

[Andy Capp]

LMAO @ leaked

It's called a teaser.

 

[Poatan Power]

This is a fair take to have if you at least acknowledge Tucker is going to be doing the same thing for Putin.

Do you acknowledge that its going to be bullshit and that he was handpicked by the Kremlin?

What does "handpicked by the Kremlin" even mean? Are interviews generally conducted ambush style where you throw a burlap sack over the persons head and transfer them to Guantanamo bay so you can ask them some real hardball questions...or like every other world leader in modern history do they interview who they want to interview with?

Should Nancy Pelosi head a committee of politicians who choose an approved leftist media member to be chosen tribute as the "traitor" who interviews Putin on behalf of America to give him some real hardball questions?

This narrative is absolutely absurd.

1. Tucker is a traitor for doing this!!
2. Someone else other than Tucker should have done this!!
3. HE WAS HANDPICKED BY THE KREMLIN, HE DIDN'T EVEN AMBUSH HIM ON THE STREETS OF MOSCOW WITH A MICROPHONE
4. He's just going to perform oral sex on him!
5. He's going to be a mouthpiece for propaganda!
6. This shouldn't be allowed to happen!
6a. Refer back to 2.

How about we all just get the information out of it, form conclusions and discuss instead of performing mental gymnastics at gold medal levels.

Journalists usually are handpicked for these types of interviews. They don't just give anybody access. Whether it's Tucker Carlson or Barbara Walters, they are handpicked by the regime.

Remember when Trump interviewed with Walters and they released a highly edited smear version of the interview? Then when the full interview got released by Trump's side it was way less unbecoming and even somewhat favorable for Trump (in some regards)? People crying itt are literally just wanting a deep fake Putin saying "I want to slaughter all Ukrainians, whatever you do, don't give them money to defend themselves!" and are mad that someone they disagree with can speak freely. And they want to silence/stop it.

...which is exactly what Putin does lmao

 

[Vergilius]

So,

1. You disagree with someone before they've even been given the opportunity to convey information (not that we don't know who Putin is)
2. You predecide that Tucker is going to be Putin's mouthpiece for a nefarious narrative to subvert our own narrative
3. You don't think Putin should be able to choose who he's willing to interview with...????
4. "I don't have a problem with it..." ??? Everything you've outlined states that you have a problem with it unless it's the exact parameters you approve of.

Bro, you're a walking contradiction lol

Bit of a weird take you've got there.

regarding 1) anyone who has cared to pay attention has had the opportunity to hear what Putin thinks about the war numerous times: he has given speeches, talks, interviews and even written history papers in Russian regarding the war. I don't need a Tucker Carlson interview to know that I disagree with ol' Vlad.

Regarding 2) I clearly state that I "believe" that Carlson is going to be Putin's mouthpiece. This is based off Tucker's past statements re: supporting Russia and, even more pertinently, due to the fact that Putin has not allowed himself to be asked anything remotely critical in any public interview he's giving for a good decade (as anyone who follows Russian news would know). I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but find it extremely unlikely that he is going to start now and allow Tucker Carlson to rake him over the coals.

Regarding your 4) I clearly state that I have no problem with Putin getting interviewed by a Western journalist worth their salt - but that this particular journalist isn't worth his and thus I don't think Carlson going over there is a good idea as the only thing to come out of it is going to be a piece of Russian propaganda that serves no positive purpose whatsoever.

I hope that clears things up

Tucker lied when he said no one else even tried.

 

[HereticBD]

Tucker lied when he said no one else even tried.

And? It's a high profile interview. Of course others have tried. They've tried in the past too, and didn't get chosen. Why is this all of sudden some "conspiracy" when it's Tucker Carlson getting the nod?

He doesn’t want to be asked controversial questions. He wants his American asset to influence his followers for him. Tucker is already lying and saying he’s the only one who would do it LOL

As I keep on saying, I really don’t give a fuck if you watch it. I am not asking people to not view the interview. Just be aware of how things are framed when doing so.

1. Okay. So you won't be watching the interview, got it. Vlad interviewing with the most popular journalist in America is still newsworthy and interesting to a lot of people who don't "care to pay attention" to a foreign nation who is halfway across the world from us and is in a war with their neighbor that has nothing to do with our daily lives except that our government is spending dozens of or hundreds of billions of dollars in aiding the war against Russia.

2. What statements of Tucker are Russia supportive? Specifically. Also, what world leaders have submitted themselves to foreign journalists for a "raking over the coals" interview? I don't even understand what you're insinuating. You want Tucker to sit down with Putin and then throw a glass of water in his face?

4. "I have no problem with Putin getting interviewed with a Western journalist, as long as I approve of the journalists credentials and worldview." Okay Vergilius Putin, which journalists do you approve of to get the sodium worthy message out there that you want everyone to get spoon fed?

Like I said, you're a walking contradiction. Feign tolerance all you want, every single sentence you write flies in the face of "Not having a problem." You literally have a problem with every portion of this. The only concession you make is that you'd approve of it if you could choose which mouthpiece is used... which is exactly what you critique Putin of doing a few sentences before.

Re: number two
Documentary evidence has already been posted multiple times ITT. Try catching up a bit.

 

[HereticBD]

And? You don’t care about a “journalist” being untruthful?

LOL. In today's day and age, I pretty much expect it.

You're getting away from the point, though. I don't care if you personally dislike Tucker Carlson. You talked as if Tucker Carlson being handpicked by the Kremlin for this interview was some kind of unprecedented event, only being done for him for political reasons, when it's just standard protocol. They ain't picking names out of hat over there. Shit, our own leaders vet journalists, and stick to the more favorable ones 90% of the time.

You're literally in this topic crying about people watching it. You keep saying weird shit like "handpicked by the Kremlin." When someone calls you out on your slanted diction, you move the goal posts and say something about Tucker using hyperbole about who would do it. You were probably one of the ones calling it treasonous before finding out leftists tried to do it too. When you reply to this (which I won't bother reading) you'll move the goal posts to something else.

I think you live in a bubble. You think Vladimir Putin is afraid of Barbara Walters. But you also probably think he isn't afraid to blow up his own pipeline. He enters a war with Ukraine against the western world's wishes, but you think he's afraid of someone asking him about it? Give me a break dude. I want to hear what Vlad has to say to Tucker, not listen to some self-important leftist twat try to virtue signal about what Putin does with transgenders in Russia.

It's 100% of the time.

He's already digging the hole for the new goalpost spot before you even started typing dude. They're just mad that information is freely flowing and they can't control it. This is copy and paste from Vietnam, Castro, OBL, etc. it's just the left's turn to cry.

Show me where I once said no one should watch this and it should be banned? That literally never happened LOL

Honestly, I haven't seen any other news outlets show proof that they tried to interview Putin, all I've seen is a lot of "trust me bro, we asked".

They more than likely have. It was actually the Kremlin that rebutted Carlson's claim, if I'm not mistaken. Requests for interviews with big political leaders, is like fan mail to them. They probably get hundreds, if not thousands of requests every week.

You don't think that is negative? To have a Kremlin friendly asset masquerading as an objective journalist - pushing Putin's approved rhetoric in the west? This is 100% for political reasons. Doesn't really matter if it is unprecedented or not.

Tucker is a Kremlin asset now???? Don't fall for this bullshit dude. The "tucker is a kremlin asset" line is worthy of being added to my list.

1. Russian collusion

3. Bubba Wallace garage pull
4. Covington kids

What outlets are out there claiming they did?
Tucker made a claim that haven’t been trying and Russia said that’s not true and they have.
Weird that you are making this something that other news outlets need to prove when they haven’t even involved themselves in whatever is going on between tucker and Russia.

 

[PG29 red0 Jr]

I remember some of Ditka's interviews, and I don't think he hand picked the people interviewing him.

What does "handpicked by the Kremlin" even mean? Are interviews generally conducted ambush style where you throw a burlap sack over the persons head and transfer them to Guantanamo bay so you can ask them some real hardball questions...or like every other world leader in modern history do they interview who they want to interview with?

You should welcome the interview and trust the american public to make up their own mind. Because if they're easily swayed by Putin, they are easily swayed by propaganda anyway. and if they're like that, what exactly are you protecting by keeping people away from this interview?

 

[Poatan Power]

hahhahaa. the NFL has harder interviews than world leaders. Maybe Putin and Biden should coach teams in football against each other to decide Ukrainian borders.
