Description
Join hosts Rob and Ruairi as they dissect the infamous interview between Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin. Was it a missed chance for hard-hitting journalism, or did it inadvertently serve as a conduit for Russian propaganda?
? The Setup:
Carlson, a former Fox News anchor, secured an exclusive interview with the enigmatic Russian president.
Expectations were high—would Carlson hold Putin accountable, or would it be a softball exchange?
?️ The Interview Dynamics:
Carlson’s questions ranged from the invasion of Ukraine to Putin’s rationale for territorial aggression.
Did Carlson challenge Putin’s responses effectively, or did he allow propaganda narratives to go unchallenged?
? Propaganda or Journalism?:
Critics argue that Carlson missed crucial opportunities to press Putin on issues like imprisoned opponents and war crimes.
Was this a journalistic failure, or did Carlson intentionally avoid confrontation to maintain access?
Did Carlson inadvertently become a mouthpiece for the Kremlin, or was he merely playing the game?
