It doesn’t look like $700 either but I don’t know much about scarves.
I think that’s the Fendi logo. Could easily be $700…especially if it’s cashmere.
He is pro- Tucker.
Maybe Tucker has a new job?
Naw, he’s always been a propagandist.
Explains why his head always looks like it’s been sniffing at or stuck up someone’s butt.
Edited To Add: Oh wait, you said “propagandist”. Never mind.
Are journalists supposed to interview controversial people? What am I missing here?
Did all the journalists who interviewed charles manson aiding his propaganda?
Tucker Carlson is not a journalist. He hasn’t done any kind of journalism since maybe the 90s. He has been a political commentator and analyst since 2000, first at CNN then MSNBC and finally ending up at Fox News.
Please remember that Russia has state-run media. That is not a country that allows any kind of news to go out that isn’t completely controlled by them; what little there is, ends up getting marginalized and threatened if it dares to take a critical or controversial stance. (Journalists in that country are often mysteriously murdered if they report the wrong thing, it’s a sad truth.) They will literally only allow propaganda to be released. There will be no actual interview. This will be a staged set of questions and answers, like a play being performed.
This is not just an opinion, this is the fact of how Russia operates.
Here is some information if you want to know more, the article on Wikipedia seems to sum things up well:
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, Russia is a more dangerous place now than it was during the Cold War. Only Iraq and Algeria outrank it on the list of most life-threatening countries for the press.
If Charles Manson was a dictator with complete control over a nation being interviewed in his home country, then people would have had the same criticisms. Instead you had the opposite situation; instead of a person in complete control of the country, the authorities had complete control over him (as a prisoner). He wasn’t able to dictate or control anything.
Thanks for explaining.
Also the reason he has been invited is that he has repeated Russian disinformation on his show as fact and has attacked Zelenski calling him “rat-like” and has declared that he is rooting for Russia in the war.
So yes, if the interviewer had a large gullible audience and had previously opined that perhaps Tate and Sebring were indeed pigs who needed killing, and was upset that the media wasn’t reporting Manson’s side of the story, I would think his interviewing Manson would be a bad thing.
There are two main concerns regarding this interview. First the in the US, Carlson as a right wing media darling can drive Republican opinion further against supporting Ukraine making it hard to get this much needed aid through the house. Second in Russia, Putin can play this interview non-stop through his media outlets to his domestic audience, claiming that Carlson represents the US media as a whole. This will gives his lies the added illusion of external legitimacy and help maintain support for his war back home.
This is the entire point of the whole fucking thing.
Thank you for identifying it clearly and succinctly.
Is anyone watching the interview?
No.
Republicans have brains of silly putty. Observe their brains about to be squished and formed with Russian propaganda. An autopsy of a Republican brain typically shows comic strip papers ink stuck to the outside.
Just checked twitter. They say Biden did a speech to distract from the “interview” but was incoherant and mistook the Egyptian leader for Mexicos. ?
Twitter is…eclectic.
“Incoherent” is just right wing wishful thinking. I watched the speech and he spoke very clearly, He also clearly fucked up as he has countless times over the years. Being gaffe-prone is nothing new, he’s done it his whole career. It’s a personality trait.
Dan Quayle was 42 years old making similar blunders as VP in the late 80s. It’s not a sign of dementia as much as Republicans might want people to think. Dementia isn’t a slip of the tongue. It’s going into a fully nonsensical ramble, which is a Trump trait.
Also, the insistence that his speech was trying to distract from something as opposed to a part of the regular job of the president is clearly propaganda. You’re getting some bad info.
It’s not when you forget where your car keys are, it’s when you forget what your car keys are for.
(But I wish that wasn’t where we were when speaking of presidential candidates.)
Agreed. Which candidate is more likely to have dementia? It’s not right to have to even consider it.
Has no one ever interviewed Putin before?
