Carlson: "I can't interview Putin."

[Renauda]

All the US authorities can do is suggest to Carlson not pursue an opportunity to interview Putin. The reasons are obvious.

[Mik]

So he milks it either way. Nice.

@George-K said in Carlson: "I can't interview Putin.":

I know, I'm playing devil's advocate here. Putin is a reprehensible MoFo. But to gag Carlson?

It's a war.

[Renauda]

@Mik

Of course. Carlson is, as usual, is blowing this all out proportion in his on going efforts at self promotion.

[Jolly]

Probably.

But would an interview with Putin be out of bounds? I think it depends upon the questions.

[Renauda]

Not out of bounds, just a spectacle of disingenuousness coated with shameless self interest and promotion by both parties.

[Mik]

Kind of goes back to the discussion of rights and responsibilities. Does he have a right to do it? Probably. Is it responsible as an American citizen? Debatable.

[Copper]

It's what he does for a living.

Will Mr. Putin appear to be evil enough?

That could go either way.

[jon-nyc]

Idiot.

@Copper

Will Mr. Putin appear to be evil enough?

No, he’ll play the role of the straight man opposite Carlson’s loon character.

We’re prohibited from doing business with Russia. Why is Carlson more important than proper businesses?

Twat.

Excellent point.

WOULD THE BBC HAVE INTERVIEWED ADOLF HITLER IN 1932?

Actually, I would love to see the BBC’s Stephen Sackur hold Putin’s feet to the fire in a one on one interview. I don’t believe Putin would be capable of finishing the session.

Watching Tucker Carlson softball Putin in return for what he wants to hear for any length of time would be bordering on pornography.

I'd like to see Mr. Trump interview Mr. Putin.

I'd like to see Mr. Trump interview Mr. Putin.

He could probably look into his soul.

I'd like to see Mr. Trump interview Mr. Putin.

I believe he attempted just that in Helsinki in 2018.

With a negligible result I might add.

More likely some other bodily orifice.

This.

I dont think that Mr. Carlson is a very good interviewer. He is a good commentator that says things his base wants to hear, but not a really good interviewer.
