If it were some other actual journalist, sure. Tucker Carlson has been a propaganda mouthpiece for decades. He has been spreading white supremacist talking points for years. He's been pro-Russia for years. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/russia-ukraine-invasion-tucker-carlson-b2000386.html >“Why is it disloyal to side with Russia but loyal to side with Ukraine? They’re both foreign countries that don’t care anything about the United States. Kind of strange. It’s all an absurd performance, but it’s all they’ve got in the end.” This is not a man who is going over there to give Putin a fair shake to get to the bottom of things. You're absolutely right though, he is not a traitor for an interview. He has been a traitor to decency and a traitor to the American people, long before the interview. And that is the core issue.
Imagine thinking that Fox News is not corporate media/Tucker Carlson is not corporate media.You're not enlightened for believing in different corporate media outlets, and believing in different political leaders. In my experience, people who watch Fox News tend to be a lot less critical of Fox News, than people who watch other things. Anecdotally I know far more people who vote Democrat who are critical of Democrat politicians than I know Republicans who are critical of Republican politicians. |
Where did I say Fox News wasn't corporate media? Where did I say I watch Fox news?
Where did I every bring up 'Democrat' or 'Republican'?
This either-or type thinking is why the world has gone mad.
