Social Media Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 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. 2024-03-04 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Walker88 Posted May 4 Popular Post Share Posted May 4 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. 6 1 1 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

April 2023 article Tucker Carlson re-emerges, targets US media and political system https://www.reuters.com/world/us/tucker-carlson-re-emerges-targets-us-media-political-system-2023-04-27/ 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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Limbaugh#Controversies_and_inaccuracies 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
