Tucker Carlson's Controversial Interview with 'Putin's Rasputin' Sparks Propaganda Surge

[Social Media]

 

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson ignited a storm of controversy with his recent interview featuring Alexander Dugin, a prominent Russian fascist ideologue dubbed "Putin's Rasputin." Conducted during Carlson's visit to Moscow for an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the conversation catapulted Dugin's extreme views into American living rooms, drawing both criticism and intrigue.

 

Dugin, often associated with his fervent support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine and his genocidal rhetoric towards Ukrainians, found a platform in Carlson's program. Despite widespread condemnation of Dugin's views, Carlson's interview format, characterized by respectful listening without interruption, provided a platform for Dugin to air his extremist beliefs.

 

While most journalists would have probed Dugin on his ties to Putin and his daughter's tragic death in a 2022 car bomb explosion, Carlson steered clear of Russian politics. Instead, he allowed Dugin to rail against the "Anglo-Saxon world" without challenging his genocidal statements.

 

The success of Dugin's appearance on Carlson's show was hailed by Russian propagandists as a triumph in infiltrating Western media. Dugin himself boasted about the interview's viewership and celebrated his perceived influence on Western audiences.

 

Furthermore, Dugin's portrayal of Carlson as a champion of traditional values and opponent of Western "cancel culture" resonated with Russian propagandists and supporters. They hailed Carlson's role in introducing Americans to a different perspective on Russia, contrasting it with the negative portrayal of figures like Alexei Navalny.

 

Despite Carlson's recent failure in his interview with Putin, which drew mockery in the US, Russian propagandists saw an opportunity to reshape their narrative through Carlson's platform. By emphasizing traditional values and painting Russia in a positive light, they sought to appeal to conservative Americans disillusioned with their own society.

 

However, Dugin cautioned against Westerners relocating to Russia, arguing that they would be more effective in influencing Western politics from within. He urged them to support figures like Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson, believing that their influence would ultimately benefit Russia's interests.

 

In essence, Carlson's interview with Dugin underscores the complexities of media influence and the manipulation of narratives in the global arena. While it provided a platform for extremist views, it also sparked debate about the role of media in shaping public opinion and the dangers of propagandistic messaging.

Has Carlson registered as a foreign agent yet or is he still pretending to be a patriot?

 

[Walker88]

While I'm not a psychiatrist, I suspect Tucker is batsh!t crazy. He is on many YouTube videos discussing UFOs, claiming they are not "alien", but rather "demonic", and have always been here, apparently living in the ocean somewhere. He claims authorities have made a deal with these demons. He uses Biblical stories to back up his claims.

Me thinks the CIA and other intel agencies don’t like exposure!

Me thinks there’s a effort to silence Tucker & Elon!

 Come on folks what ever happened  to peace talks. Remember the good old days ,its  devoid  of the diplomatic conversation .

Why does the establishment fear the closest thing to Rush Linbaugh , a hero in conservative politics !

I’m not sure he’s crazy. Just a huge money whore. Like all those televangelists out there fleecing the rubes so they can buy a shiny new 100 million dollar private jet. It’s all about money, and some people will go to any length to get as much of it as they can, including selling their soul to the devil.

Calling Rush Limbaugh a hero in conservative politics is rich. Here’s a reminder of what Rush Limbaugh really is/was:

 

Of Limbaugh's controversial statements and allegations they have investigated, Politifact has rated 84% as ranging from "Mostly False" to "Pants On Fire" (signifying false statements that cannot be reasonably assessed as merely errors), with 5% of Limbaugh's contested statements rising to the level of "Mostly True" and 0% rated "True".

 

In short: 0% of what the man said was true. The same (probably) goes for Tucker Carlson.

Nah... It's just targeted marketing. He gives his core target market what it wants.

Again, has Hunter promoted a foreign country's propaganda?

I love how people can jam their heads so far up their ass so as to actually make themselves to believe successful newscasters just give up their 40 or 50 grand per day jobs just so they can go lie about a few things

Right. He gave up 15-20 million dollars annual contracts just so he could make a few bucks on the side. Yeah. Keep telling yourselves that folks. 
 

meanwhile. As I posted in the other thread. Can anyone name a war that the msm did not lie about? I’ll wait.
