Thats your guy, being played like a fiddle just like his former leader was.....

Carlson the ONLY media figure the Russia state media asked to feature, ( for some reason)

The Kremlin asked Russian media to highlight Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s broadcasts “as much as possible” earlier this month, due to his criticisms of the U.S. and its NATO allies in his coverage of the Ukraine crisis, Mother Jones reported.
A leaked 12-page memo from a Russian government agency to media on March 3 said “it is essential to use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts” by Carlson, according to a translation by Mother Jones, which said it obtained the note from a contributor to a national Russian media outlet.


Carlson “sharply criticizes” the actions of the U.S. and NATO and their “negative role in unleashing the conflict in Ukraine,” the memo said, per the news site.
Carlson is also critical of the “defiantly provocative behavior from the leadership of the Western countries and NATO towards the Russian Federation and towards President Putin, personally,” it reportedly continued.

The document was titled “For Media and Commentators” and sent from Russia’s Department of Information and Telecommunications Support, according to Mother Jones.
The outlet said Carlson was the only Western journalist referenced in the memo.





 
We should not be surprised.

As some of us [Mr. Tucker Carlson is a fellow American,] make statements that have the effect of widening the gap between 'reds' and 'blues', the leaders of nations which are unfriendly to us can be expected to give a little push to assist in our self-destruction.

Bit by bit, our trust in our institutions, and in the very process of selecting our elected representatives, is being eroded. We do not have to look outside our shores to identify those who are hastening the process.

Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n remember the Big 5.
 
So we're just directly digesting allegation and propaganda at this point, are we?

One would think that the far-left hadn't been screwed over by this sort of thing already. But given how desperate they are for something to put up on the block, I really don't have much of a reason to be surprised by their poor choices this time around.
 
I do not usually watch Mr. C

But if he is actually taking the side of the Kremlin monster, then (a) he knows something that our media will not tell us or (b) he is terribly wrong.

I believe he is, however, sincere.

Since we believe in freedom of speech, he has a right to express his opinions.

Nobody is required to either watch his program or to agree with his views.
 
Tucker is sincerely WRONG, just like most of the rest of todays GOP. Wrong on everything!

Should we be at all surprised? Carlson is either a useful idiot of Putin's or a whiting agent of Putins. Frankly, I have too much respect for Carlson's intelligence to think him a useful idiot like Donnie Ducktails. Hence I am left with only one conclusion.
 
Nice to see a possible future US President getting so much extra coverage .

Unsurprising as he is by far the most successful TV front man pundit .

Liberals hate his uncanny ability and courage to nose out the dirt and corruption .

We will spit on him from now to eternity just as we will spit on mass murderer Putin, world pariah from now till eternity.

They have been doing this for a while now. Just look at the Muller report. To say that they have not tried to sway American elections is being completely ignorant to common sense and facts. While the brainwashed go looking for election boogeymen with their "boxes of stolen ballots," Russians have been pushing extremist views on social media for years.

Hi, Subieguy!

I submit that 'right' and 'wrong' are not concepts which rank high on the list of what Mr. Tucker Carlson uses as a guide for what to say on the air. 'True' and 'false' likewise do not make the short list.

What does matter to him is whether what's said will play to the prejudices, ideologies and beliefs of the listener base. It is that base which the advertisers who support the show [Ed.: And justify, through their payments, Mr. Carlson's salary,] wish to reach.

Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n remember the Big 5.

Tucker is supported by all the RW idiots that support Trump. It's the base of the republican party. Tucker is doing this for one reason and one reason only, money. And he's raking it in. He knows what he's doing is wrong, but it pays well. He's nothing more than a RW shock jock on TV.

Telling lies is how they all make their living. One can have the right (Freedom of speech) in this country, but what he is doing in this circumstance is dead wrong.

Hi, Middleground!

Perhaps the destruction of American democracy as we've known it is an activity open to all.

Correct but not really relevant. An Agent for a foreign power can take his payment in many ways....cash...women.....drugs.....or media exposure that enhances his position with his base of either popular or political support. Enter Tucker Carlson. Enter Donald Trump for that matter.

Worth mentioning that scumbag Paul Manafort took no salary from the Trump Campaign in his role as Campaign Manager. There are many ways to be paid that do not involve direct payment in dollars.

Agreed. I think the problem we are having here in America is law enforcement in general has just been sleeping at the wheel. What Tucker has been doing may be pushing the line toward treasonous. We are in a proxy war with Russia. We are in an economic and cyber war with Russia. We are currently backing with military gear, a country that is at full blown war with Russia.

How is what Tucker's doing not aiding and abetting Russia in their war? Thay are after all, an enemy of the US. If the leaders of our government gave enough of a shit about our democracy, they would at the very least, deliver a stark warning to Tucker and Fox News.

But they just sleep.

Consider the rolls reversed. A journalist in Russia took the side of America under these circumstances, they would be jailed, poisoned, or outright executed. No judicial process at all. The US needs to get tougher or we lose our cherished democracy.

Hi back, Torus. :)

No doubt many are to blame for not doing due diligence. Sometimes, though, it's hard to find truth in a sea of idiots. Even to those who considers themselves smart and educated.

Do you even have a point?

Your twisted and disingenuous presentation of lies criticizes the twisted and disingenuous presentation of lies by others.

Interesting.

I m not the one twisted, but nice try deflecting as usual. The subject I am talking about is treasonous Tucker Carlson. He is the one with the truth problem as usual.

If anyone in the Cult takes Russia's side, it IS treasonous. NO questions asked.

a comment as you would expect from the TC.

1) Carlson is an anti-interventionist. Not a Communist or Putin supporter.
2) Mother Joes went big on the dossier early on and the BFBI used their reporting to get FISA warrants. So bullshit reporting is not new to MJ or anyone like HuffPo who uses it.
3) If Russia actually did what this alleged leaked memo suggested, they're merely putting a spin on “... fragments of broadcasts" by Carlson. They said so in what you quoted.
People here have been doing it for years now without admitting it.
