Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, has praised Fox News for its coverage, appearing on the Russian state-controlled RT network to hail the right-leaning US cable channel, whose primetime host Tucker Carlson has played down the invasion.
“We know the manners and the tricks that are being used by the western countries to manipulate media, we understood long ago that there is no such thing as an independent western media,” said Lavrov, speaking in English in a studio interview on Friday.
“If you take the United States, only Fox News is trying to present some alternative point of view,” he said.

..."Last Friday, Fox News host Tucker Carlson suggested that U.S. government officials wanted a war between Russia and Ukraine in a bid to “grab more power.” While otherwise denouncing the Russian invasion, Carlson theorized that the U.S. helped provoke the conflict after emergency powers enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic had come to an end.
“At exactly the moment when the emergency powers they awarded to themselves to fight COVID started to wane, our leaders began pushing for conflict with Russia,” the Fox News host said.
Meanwhile, retired United States Army Col. Douglas Macgregor declared on Carlson’s show on Thursday that Kyiv had lost the war with Russia and that Ukraine had been “grounded to bits.”...

Just listened to this! Interesting! If people do not think that the old or now soviet / Russian intelligence services are not studying us like a Spassky / Fischer chess match - think again!!!
What is interesting is Foreign Minister Sergeĭ Lavrov sending message to the left leaning media to rebalance itself because he knows that full-out war with the US will leave his nation more devastated than his current boss realizes and needs help. The obvious question is are those in the media paying attention and are they willing to have a discussion.
How interesting would it be for a panel of Fox, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and CSPAN senior anchors to have this unified discussion? Hell, let Bill Maher and Tervor Noah join for the fun of it.
