SERIOUSLY….
He seems to have drank the Russian Kool-Aid….
Pundit Tucker Carlson called Moscow “nicer” than any city in the United States and praised Russian President Vladimir Putin’s governing of the massive world superpower.
“And the most radicalizing thing for me in the eight days I spent in Moscow was not just the leader of the country,” Carlson said during a recent interview at the World Government Summit, calling Putin “capable.”
“What was very shocking, very disturbing was the city of Moscow, where I’d never been … it was so much nicer than any city in my country,” he said, calling the Russian capital “so much cleaner, and prettier aesthetically — its architecture, its food, its service — than any city in the United States.”
Carlson held an exclusive interview with Putin in Russia last week, which the president used to spread propaganda about the ongoing war he is waging on Ukraine and criticize the American government.
Carlson, during his remarks at the summit, blasted the U.S. government for what he characterized as rampant crime, out of control inflation and overall failure of government, saying similar decline as occurred in European cities such as London and Paris….

I liked the way Putin treated this lying sack of horse manure with total contempt during this so called”interview”( actually a simple propaganda infomercial for Russian dictator) .
And anyone who read Carlsons lies in the voting machine debacle( Fox paid over three quarters of a BILLION dollars for his and other Fox “journalists “ie,Republican propagandists deceits) and takes anything he says seriously is a damn fool.
The same ‘spell’ Putin has on Trump?
The things he said sounds exactly like what Vladimir Pozner (no relation) used to say. Pozner was once a prominent liberal journalist in America. He had a nightly show on cable tv with Phil Donahue, etc. Eventually, he moved to Moscow.
A lot of left-wingers, including Bernie Sanders, used to gush about Moscow and the Soviet Union, after visits there. Now, it is Tucker Carlson and his ilk.
If I recall, my late great-uncle, a proud Marine, who fought in Korea, once wrote him a letter thinking they looked alike, and asked if they might be related.
Pozner was an admitted propagandist for the Soviet Union and was a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
Carlson is a supporter of Donald Trump ( although in the emails released as part of the lawsuit claimed to “ hate” him.) For many years he was a mainstream conservative and once was the “right” guy on the old CNN show crossfire.
Today he is nothing but a lying MAGA hack who, in addition to being an unofficial propagandist for Putin engages in increasingly insane conspiracy theories .
Yep Jack, great comeback to Corey’s attempt to change the subject over Tucker who is clearly an apologist for both Putin and the Republican Party.
I loved Putin shoving Tucker’s failure to join the CIA in his face.
The Republican Party is the Party of Putin.
I’m just saying from 1991 to 1994, Pozner had a show (with Donahue) on CNBC in the United States.
Yeah he did.
But he was a Communist and a Soviet propagandist before that and was often on cable news shows in the late eighties boosting Gorbachev .
As many people ( Pat Buchanan notoriously) claimed that Gorbachev was just a regular old Commie trying to hoodwink ,gullible Americans)
I remember Pozner would regularly appear on cable news shows vouching for Gorbachevs sincerity.
His favorite line was “we have deprived you of your enemy.You should b3 happy.”
