Social Media Posted Thursday at 08:38 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:38 PM Tucker Carlson, known for his controversial stances, recently faced a heated exchange with a reporter in Australia over his views on Russian President Vladimir Putin. Carlson, who is currently on a speaking tour in Australia, was confronted by Sydney Morning Herald political correspondent Paul Sakkal. Sakkal asked if Carlson felt "any shame" about being labeled a "useful idiot" for Putin due to his sympathetic commentary towards the Russian leader. Carlson's tour in Australia includes appearances with notable and controversial figures such as Clive Palmer, a mining billionaire-turned-politician. In a video clip posted by Carlson on X, the confrontation with Sakkal began with the reporter barely able to start his question before Carlson interjected. Sakkal had only managed to mention President Putin before Carlson sarcastically repeated the name, mocking the question and shifting the conversation to the COVID-19 vaccines. When Sakkal defended the vaccines, stating they saved millions of lives, Carlson scoffed at the idea and mocked the media for promoting such views. Despite Sakkal's attempts to continue his question without interruption, Carlson repeatedly cut him off with derisive comments. When Sakkal finally got to ask his full question, he noted that many conservative figures, including former Australian Prime Ministers John Howard and Tony Abbott, as well as Boris Johnson, are strongly anti-Putin. He questioned Carlson's stance, pointing out that Putin himself had criticized Carlson's interview as weak and misleading. Carlson responded by dismissing Sakkal's question as an "absurd soliloquy" and accused the reporter of taking Putin's word despite previously considering him a "psychopathic liar." He then criticized Boris Johnson, labeling him a "criminal buffoon" and blaming him for prolonging the Ukraine conflict at the behest of the Biden administration. Carlson claimed that Johnson's actions had led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men and asserted that Ukraine cannot win against Russia due to the disparity in their populations. Carlson further argued that the best outcome for Ukraine would have been peace negotiations, which he claimed Johnson had obstructed. He also mentioned that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had passed a law allowing foreign corporations to own land in Ukraine, suggesting that this would lead to a future where Ukraine's land is owned by multinational corporations rather than Ukrainians. Concluding his response, Carlson stated that he feels shame not for his statements but for the actions of Western governments, including the United States and Australia, in their involvement in Ukraine. He described the Western efforts to prevent a Russian takeover of Ukraine as one of the great crimes of his lifetime and dismissed the notion that opposing these actions equates to supporting Putin. This confrontation is not Carlson's first instance of controversy regarding his views on Russia. In a 2019 episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight, he stated he was rooting for Russia in its conflict against Ukraine, a comment he later claimed was made in jest.

I found his one and only expression to be a bit disconcerting. He always looked a bit puzzled about something. I liked his show on Fox though. He had some good guests.

A real reporter gathers news and people's opinions. It's not their place to interject their own opinions into an interview, no matter what they think personally. It's garbage like that which is making news about reporter's opinions and not about what they are supposedly reporting on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
