I've said it before and I'll say it again, Tucker Carlson is a traitor and a Russian asset.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And none of the numbskulls who consume his hateful rhetoric will ever believe that.
It seems like they already know and that's what they like about him.
~~Tucker Carlson~~ The Republican Party.
Russian asshat.
2028 this anal wart is running for president. Mark my words.
We then will need Jon Stewart to run against him, to wipe the floor with him. Again.
That is a terrifying thought.
He could actually win it.
Yea you're not wrong. The Republicans are playing the long game here. They're really getting involved with the youth, I mean just look at rumble for example and whatever other medium they've been using. The Democrats are virtually non-existent it feels like on the social networking side of things or maybe it's just the Right is obnoxiously loud. It's scary man, if they can mobilize and weaponize the younger demographic voters then what does that spell for the short term (2028) or even the longer term when their ideals are fully cemented and are less likely to be swayed unless a serious upheaval happens.
Useful idiot
He's not an idiot. He knows exactly what he's doing.
Someone can knowingly be an idiot.
He doesn’t know he’s useless though.
His history is really interesting. He wasn't always a raging republican. He realized it worked and got views though, so here we are. I'd highly reccommend watching Some More News' video on the guy, it's interesting and kinda funny in all of the depressing ways.
A lot of these extreme “center” (ahem) media personalities are simply doing it for views. Boggles my noggin.

Tucker Carlson remains dedicated to "both sides"ing even to the point of giving a soft ball interview to a dictator.
"The former TV presenter said that it would be posted on his website. **He also noted that Elon Musk had promised not to block this interview with Putin on X (Twitter)." **
Of course he will; they coordinated this together. Now I'm not claiming I have proof of this, but tell me this doesn't smell 97% probable.
Musk just wants to end the war sob. Won't anyone think of the ~~children~~ dictators. /s
His only problem is that he cares too much 😭
Republicans love Russia.
I hope they're meeting in a skyscraper so Tuck Tuck can get a good view of Moscow.
Good view from halfway down?
It'll seem like it's coming at him really fast though
He'll just get to experience it all at once
Maybe Zelenskyy can agree and put him in jail until the war is over.
He is a Russian asset, so Zelenskyy wouldn't even be in the wrong.

The “interview” is just cover.
My bet is Putin is vetting Tucker Carlson for Trump’s running mate.
Once Tucker kisses the ring, and likely commits a crime (or other misdeeds) on Putin’s orders (to serve as puppet-string kompromat for Putin’s plans), Putin will give the blessing for Trump to announce Tucker Carlson as his VP running mate.
Then, just imagine a 2028 Presidential bid from Tucker (win or lose in ‘24)…
the keywest butt tickler for president ?
I dunno man, that guy is walking,talking garbage.
so yeah, he's a shoe in for this country. crap.
Stay the fuck in Russia Tucker.
Maybe while travelling from Russia to Ukraine, he'll become a casualty of a genocidal invasion he supports.
Inb4 Tucker Carlson dies in the next few weeks, and everyone in close contact with him suffers serious illness, all in an attempt to get at Zelenski.
Check your underwear, Carlson, that's more of a risk to you than any window.
Think Carlson will put a GPS in his ass so Putin can get coordinates on Zelenskyy?
That's what Carlson heard them say, but he didn't see what it was they put up there forcefully and repeatedly.
Oohh Elon will allow free speech on Twitter when it benefits him
Absolutely.
Well, he is probably trying to get Putin to invade Canada, because he couldn't get the US to do it.
I know it would probably start world war 3 but it might be worth it to just bomb Moscow. He's that much of a tit.
