Whats wrong with interviewing Putin?

So apparently Ukraine put Tucker Carlson on a hit list for interviewing Putin, and I see a lot of people, even on here, seem unhappy that Tucker interviewed Putin.

Why?

We don't even know what questions were asked. And yes, I know there's transcripts ...multiple of them. Unless Tucker did multiple interviews, then some are fake ...and prolly all are fake since the video hasn't even released yet.

So we don't know what was said til the video releases (later today?). It seems there's a lot of people who don't want the rest of us to know what Putin has to say.

Why is that?

 

Nothing is wrong with it. no one has to watch it if they think its wrong.

 

Nothing, and nothing is wrong with not watching it. The Authoritarian Left is constantly trying to exert unjust control over what others can think, say or do, because they know that they can't prevail in the arena of ideas.

 

I see nothing wrong with Tucker Carlson exercising his 1st Amendment right to be a blatant, flaming idiot.

 

What is idiotic about interviewing Putin?

 

What we don't know is Tucker's MOTIVE for doing so. What did he gain?? What was lost by doing so?? Tucker , of all people doing this is questionable. Is Tucker pals with DJT??

 

I think Tucker is concerned about nuclear war and thinks more open discourse, or at least more familiarity, will help prevent it. Which seems reasonable.

Not sure why its relevent, but wasn't Tucker caught on a hot mike saying he doesnt much care for Trump?

Why is it questionable that 'Tucker, of all people' would interview Putin? Did anyone else even try?

 

How do you feel about Ukraine putting Tucker on a kill list for exercising his 1st Amendment right?

 

I think its a great idea for credible journalists to interview Putin. Tucker is a RW gloryhole- seeking hack who's letting Putin stick his peter into a Tucker oriface for radical RW gratification.

 

Putin is a liar and an interview is a waste of airspace.

 

What part(s) of the interview can you cite to support this position?

 

LOL, I don't intend to watch it. If I decide to watch some gloryhole themed porn, it won't include either Tucker or Putin.

 

So how is that any different than interviewing any other politician?

 

There is nothing wrong with it. Ukraine putting him on a hit list is redonkulous. Assuming that is true.

As for why people here are pissed? Its because of leftwing identitarian ideology pure and simple. To them you do not give any "bad guy" air time. Period. If you do then you are complicit in whatever "crime" they think happened. Be it a real crime or an in their head one. Ironically...interviews with serial murderers sitting in prison and what not seems to be perfectly fine. :shrug:

 

Its their right as a sovereign nation, they probably see it as a betrayal.

 

I have zero problem with Tucker interviewing Putin.
If his interview ends up being a mouthpiece for Putin's propaganda, I have zero problem with Tucker being decried, ridiculed, and chastised for enabling a dictator and people vigorously pointing that out. One does suspect that there is a reason why Putin chose Carlson out of all the people who wanted to interview him, most of them being actual journalists and not entertainers.
I may be proven wrong, but I am guessing this will have the same journalistic integrity of Rodman interacting with Kim Jong Un.
Let's see;

Ukraine has not put him on a hit list. Some organization that identifies those deleterious to Ukraine's interests has identified him as such. I don't know anything about this organisation so I will not pronounce myself on it, but the Ukrainian government has definitely not put him on a hit list.

 

More B$ spread by RW propaganda:

Back to the topic: Tucker can interview whoever he wants. If he wants to interview murderous dictators, that's his problem. He'll be the one who has to be careful what he eats if he say something negative about Putin.

What is worrisome, however, is that a lot of people will believe the Putin propaganda spread in this interview. If the transcripts are correct, we already know that Putin targets the US RW with this, by regurgitating their talking points. He knows how he can best destabilize the US from within, and how he can get the US RW to undermine Ukraine's defense effort.

 

Rightists will believe anything they are told. Since this interview, Putin already has Trump adoring women as fangirls because they firmly believe he's just a man who loves his country, like their mango hero.

****ing pathetic.

 

Its same as asking what would have been wrong with going to Berlin in 1944 and give Hitler a global platform to justify the holocaust? He had already brainwashed Germany with his propaganda, so why not give him a global audience to expand his power.

What was wrong with Jane Fonda going to North Vietnam to give the communists a global audience to make their case against the US.

Make no mistake about it, Tucker is the modern day Jane 'Hanoi' Fonda who is helping our enemies spout their propaganda to undermine the US.

Of course he is pals with DJT as is Putin, which is why be repeatedly promoted Trump during the interview and kept repeating typical populist talking points which Trump uses in his rallies. There is no ifs or buts about it, Putin is 100% behind Trump, because having his boy in the WH would be a massive win for him.

 

Pretty much says it all

Nothing is wrong with it. We need more interviews with ALL world leaders. We need to be able to judge for ourselves where they are coming from, without the filter of the MSM, which always takes sound bites to tailor messages to their agenda.

Just interviews, no interpretation by MSM. Let people make up their own minds. MSM, whether it is Fox or MSNBC, are just arms of the political parties.

 

Um.....that's what Alex Jones claims in InfoWars. You should know better than believe it

 

One could say the same about the Clinton and Biden crime families.

 

Why are you against letting tyrant have his say and let the people decide? Does everything have to be filtered by the Democrat Party before you should hear it? Putin is a thug. Are you afraid that the people will be unable to see that?

 

Not sanctioned by the leftist MSM and the ministry of propaganda.
