   i never in a million years thought that Tucker Carlson would be the one interviewing Putin and actually doing journalism.

     @abuehling Still, it is valuable to have this perspective. Interesting to see how people are against it when one needs to show both perspectives no matter how skewed.

     @liztai Nothing to be surprised here. His interview request has been hand-picked by the Kremlin precisely because they hadn’t to be afraid that he would actually be doing journalism.

     @liztai There are those of us in the USA who feel what Tucker Carlson does is anything but journalism.

     @michael_martinez he probably did it for his brand or something, not journalism.

     @abuehling pls explain why it isn't journalism? He's asking questions.

     @liztai Putinˋs perspective obviously matters. He’s the one who started this war after all. He has layed it out before in an essay and a couple of speeches, which have all been translated into English and other languages.
     Just don’t call this interview „actual journalism“. That’s definitely not what it is. And we should not be blind about what both Putin and Carlson are trying to achieve here.

     @abuehling Very true, from what little I can see Tucker didnt do his homework about Russia. I have not seen the entire thing, however.

     @liztai An actual journalist should do more than asking a question once in a while when he is allowed to. He should be prepared. He should know who he is talking to and what he is talking about. He should not let the interviewed person monologize for half an hour, and he should be able to confront them with the facts where necessary.
