Why, Tucker? Tucker speaks...

[Renauda]

That is not first instance that the parallel between Duranty and Carlson has been drawn. Duranty was however only a print media journalist/propagandist. In Carlson’s on sensationalist TV and Internet visual presentations there is also the stylistic gossip of Walter Winchell’s radio reports and editorials. There’s also more than a just a hint of Fr. Charles Coughlin in FuCa’s style and substance as well.

That would be interesting.

[Renauda]

Not so much interesting as just plain stupid.

[Mik]

I suspect he knew that when he went.

I just listened to a three hour interview with Tucker on Lex Fridman's podcast. Tucker is truly out of fucks to give about the social ramifications of his interview with Putin.

[Renauda]

I don’t think for a moment that that FuCa gives a fuck about anything other attracting attention and money.

Besides there are no social ramifications about the Putin interview to give a fuck about.

[Mik]

It's all about the brand.

[Renauda]

Wait, there’s more to come!

FuCa’s back in Moscow, this time to interview Russia’s Mr. Congeniality, Sergei Lavrov.

U.S. conservative talk show host Tucker Carlson said Wednesday he had returned to Russia for a “fascinating” interview with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov about the possibility of nuclear war.

“Are we headed toward an unprecedented conflict between Russia and the United States?” Carlson said in a video outside the Kremlin promoting his interview, which he said would air “very soon.”

@Renauda saw that yesterday, and thought, "Maybe I should give it a listen."

A second cup of coffee convinced me otherwise.

[Mik]

So he's willingly serving as their mouthpiece.

[Renauda]

@Mik

Either that or he is pretending that he is on a covert intelligence mission for Tulsi.

[Mik]

If there was a chance of learning anything Americans did not already understand I might feel differently. But the best one can hope for is a dishonest press release from Lavrov, couched in flowery but vaguely menacing language.

[Horace]

I'll listen to it. I don't intend to come out of it with any cognitive damage.

[Renauda]

@Horace

I will listen to it as well, for no reason other than to make disparaging and sarcastic posts about it in this den of cyber iniquity. Each post will steadfastly lampoon and target FuCa’s and Lavrov’s person, demonstrated professional incompetence and Kremlin propaganda in general.

[Doctor Phibes]

I will listen to it once I've listened to all the reviews of musical gear that I've got planned.

So, sometime after I'm dead.

Interesting commentary. I too have noticed recently that Lavrov is losing his steam. He is no Gromyko by any means. Will definitely want to listen to again.

As to the commentary about FuCa….yeah, he pretty accurately breaks him down.

Still will watch the whole interview when available.

[Mik]

Good video, much to consider. I think now I will watch the interview.
