   I want a more serious journalist than @tuckercarlson to interview #Putin. Someone who would bring up Nuland's #FuckTheEU recording, Merkel's comments on #Minsk, pipelines, but also his assassinations etc of his critics. While Putin wouldn't allow that, we also seem to lack journalists interested in all sides of the conflict. The public isn't dumb, it's poorly informed and distracted. And we're treated like children unable to critically consume any media biased "by the other side". #uspol

     @wjmaggos @Vox @tuckercarlson @MidnightRider @threalist Some other journalists are saying that they tried to get him to do an interview several times but he never approved them.

     while we're all biased, their job is to fight against that in themselves, to help clarify the world. a standard to judge them by.

     people are not awake or asleep. it's a spectrum we're all on regarding different subjects. the binary thinking makes it worse.

     institutions are not more broken now than we are just seeing how imperfect they have always been imo. our job is to rebuild them, not to mock them or break society. it will not be entertaining.

     if you interview someone important and only ask them about what they want to talk about, you're doing PR. it's not journalism. it's not serious.

     I am glad that Tucker reaches more people with info they don't have than many other pundits are willing to do. but what gets painted as brave is often just playing to a different audience.

     And, as you pointed out, there will be subject matter that is off the table for discussion, at the behest of Vlad. That's not Tucker's fault.

     You know what would be fun? Jordan Peterson. He's a TERRIBLE interviewer, but can't you just see him laying into Putin? It would be hysterical! Assuming, of course, that it didn't start a ww3...

     @wjmaggos @tuckercarlson @MidnightRider @Vox @threalist According to Putin's spokesman big places try to interview him all the time but he refuses because he considers them untrustworthy

     Christine Amanpour of CNN mentioned trying several times.

     I'd love names. maybe cause those others wouldn't get Putin as much attention, but probably imo because they'd be more adversarial with him.

     I mean, why would you take your time to be interviewed with someone who is going to fill it with "gotchas" and then distort it with post production editing?

     @wjmaggos @Vox @tuckercarlson @MidnightRider @threalist you are absolutely right that it is more important to create something worth having than it is to focus on opposing something, but at the same time the leviathan is not going to just let you opt out.

     the red pill take is if we don't hate the m5m, we are sheeple. they call you racists etc. it's all very constructive. I'd prefer we instead work together toward media decentralization, v4v, journalism standards and how to have more good faith conversations.

     re the Putin interview, if it gets people another perspective on the war, great. but we shouldn't need Tucker for that. he gives speeches and there are translations.

     Yes, he did, and yes, that implies that Tucker will be at least non-confrontational. This shouldn't be news to anyone. Call it propaganda all you want, but the bottom line is, if you want to hear the man speak, you're gonna hafta put up with HIS choice of interviewer. He's in the Big Club, and rank-n-file libs AIN'T. Deal with it or don't watch it, is the "red pill" take. We don't care who hears m5m. Just stay out of our wallets.

     but he did agree to Tucker. your view seems to back up at least part of what the left is saying, that it's going to be propaganda and thus Tucker is a willing Putin propagandist. they don't want people to listen to this propaganda in the same way the so-called red pilled don't want people listening to the M5M.

     imo there is no answer to this except for none of us to support shitty journalism, leaving only tough journos for leaders to talk to.

     @wjmaggos @Moon @tuckercarlson @MidnightRider @threalist

     Thank you Captain Obvious?

     Because you think Putin would agree to being challenged and criticized in front of an audience? To what purpose? In his shoes, would YOU agree to an adversarial interview?
