Russian State TV Using Tucker Carlson Clips to Promote War as Unrest Grows

Russian state TV is using clips of Fox News host Tucker Carlson to promote the country's war against Ukraine amid protests against Vladimir Putin's partial mobilization.

Clips of Carlson chastising the U.S. over its continued backing of Kyiv were broadcast to millions of Russians this week as the Russian president ramped up the country's war effort, according to Russian Media Monitor creator Julia Davis.

Protests against the mobilization in Russia continued on Saturday with at least 745 people detained, according to OVD-Info, a human rights watchdog that monitors police activity.

An ally of Putin has also threatened to send relatives of anti-war protesters to the front line in Ukraine. News channels and TV pundits in Russia have regularly included clips from Carlson's show in a bid to sure up support for its illegal war with Ukraine.

On Saturday, Davis shared a video from Russian state TV where hosts played a translated clip of Carlson speaking on Fox News.

The footage shows Carlson saying "happy anniversary" to the now-seven-month conflict, before adding that it was impossible Ukraine could win a war against Russia. He later said: "It was clear, right away, that if Ukraine wanted to remain a sovereign country - and of course, all of us wanted that - Ukraine was going to have to reach some kind of negotiated settlement with Russia."

The Fox News host then noted how the war impacted Western economies and claimed the only person to benefit financially from the war would be Putin.

Referencing an article in Foreign Affairs magazine, Carlson then claimed the Joe Biden administration torpedoed a supposed peace deal between Ukraine and Russia with the hope of carrying out a regime change in Moscow.

How does this guys show become the top show amongst the right?

Are you posting this just to say you don't like Russia and his opinion?


3 questions for you.
1. Is anything Tucker Carlson saying using False data?
2. In your mind does he have a right to voice his opinion on TV or Elsewhere?
3. or do you imagine there's some CONSPRIACY between Carlson and the Russian govt?

I think he is anti democracy

"anti democracy"?

So if someone doesn't agree with you medically or are conservatives
they should loose 1st amendment privileges because they are
"putting lives in danger"

And if someone doesn't agree with your support of Ukraine they are "anti democracy".

OK

You paint yourself as a reasonable person but you seem to think those who don't agree with you as dangerous extremist.
You might want to consider that you're the one with the extreme and very NARROW views.

Well, I support Ukraine and my country supports Ukraine. Our allies support and sacrifice for Ukraine. Tucker says he supports Putin. I think he does it because there are so many on the right who follow conspiracies or think there is a deep state ideology that supports Ukraine and he wants all their eyes on his show.

When are you going to realize that Tucker is just a right wing political whore for hire....?

Just like Bill O'Reilly and Hanny are/were...

Paid biased news.

Period.


The left does the same thing but I highly doubt you notice that ilk....

There are plenty on the left I don't care for. Don Lemon, Cuomo, Joy Reid, Chris Haynes, Chuck Todd, Lawrence O'Donnell and several others that I'm not thinking of at the moment.

"Our country" and others supported the Vietnam war, the wars in Iraq, etc.
Did you?
Is it possible that some people are Simply antiwar?
Are people antiwar only because of conspiracy?

BTW do you think ANY U.S. wars were started & promoted on false pretext?
Can there be more than one bad guy in a war?

I support our military but not all the wars. I think Iraq was a bad idea. Same with Afghanistan and Vietnam. I support Ukraine and I think they have every right to defend themselves against the local bully. We have the support of our allies as well. Thee is a movement to undercut US supremacy in the world and I think our dominance is what has kept the world from another world war. I don't like that we have to do it but who else can?
