As usual FuCa is being either disingenuous or conveniently cherry picking his facts to present his exclusive scoop.
The FT's Moscow bureau chief, Max Seddon, said it was quite something to complain that not enough American journalists were reporting on the Russian side of the invasion, when two American journalists were "in jail right now for doing just that". The Wall Street Journal's Evan Gershkovich and Alsu Kurmasheva of Radio Free Europe have both been held in pre-trial detention since last year.

I trust FuCa enjoyed every moment of being
sodomisedinterviewed by Putin. -

My guess is that they aren't doing a whole lot of reporting.

Halfway through the 2 hour interview. Need a break from it. As I predicted Putin definitely playing the victim in all this. Putin talks, FuCa listens.

Wouldn't think he would act any other way.
Now, let the media destruct his arguments piece-by-piece.

Haven't watched, and won't.
One person commented that, for the entire "interview" (yeah, scare quotes) Putin rambled on for 20-30 minutes on each question.

The question to be asked isn’t why Tucker interviewed Putin. It’s why Putin agreed while turning down journalists all over the world.
That tells you everything you need to know.

Fair point.
I recall seeing a tweet (a "X"?) saying that TuCa's show is broadcast in Russia with a cartoon character playing the part of Carlson sitting at the desk and translated into Russian.

So is Carlson critical of Putin or Russia at any point? He’s talked a lot about how the West is undermining freedom of speech and been very critical of the western liberal democracies. Does he apply the same standards to Russia?
Just watched the 5-minute highlights. Tucker doesn't come off particularly well. Sure, he's just asking questions. And giggling along with Vlad. Apparently Putin has no further territorial claims in Eastern Europe, so that's nice.

There isn't a single journalist in the world that wouldn't love to do this interview.
He did it.
He wins.
Ask any of the losers, if they are honest, they will agree.

Sitting there giggling along with a murderous thug isn't really journalism in the traditional sense of the word.

What Tucker gets out of this is the most important thing, obviously.

As I said, I didn’t watch the interview.
Did he really giggle?

There are at least two western journalists in prison in Russia right now for attempting to cover the war from within Russia.

No, Tucker did not win. Tucker got suckered.
two hours of Putin droning on and on by laying blame, gaslighting, distorting reality through half truths and outright lies and playing the victim all the while FuCa lobbing a select few softball questions. No mention whatsoever of the kidnapping of children, massacres of civilians or deliberate targeting of Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure.
This one statement from Putin really got me:
“I will say something I have never said publicly, I will say it now for the first time. When then outgoing US President Bill Clinton visited Moscow in 2000, I asked him how America would feel about admitting Russia to NATO. I will not reveal all the details of that conversation, but the reaction to my question was quite restrained….”
Putin may very well have put a question regarding NATO membership to Clinton. Am sure Clinton will be asked about this encounter in the coming days. What Putin did not say is how he framed his question. At around the same Putin approached the then Sect’y General of NATO, James Robertson, and demanded that Russia be invited to join NATO. Robertson then explained that membership to NATO was not upon invitation but rather, by application and that membership was contingent on applicants meeting specific criteria. Russia was welcome to apply and the process could commence. Putin was offended by this answer and demanded that Russia was owed special consideration as a global superpower and the application process must be waived. Robertson replied that there could be no exceptions to the application process.
