Most of the media stopped doing their actual job years ago and started pushing propaganda.

Funny how those on the right confuse "propaganda" with anything they disagree with, regardless of the veracity of the statement.

MSG Billy Brumfield - And what are your credentials, exactly, for determining journalistic credibility? You act like you have some authority to make the call.

And so you know, Carlson isn't a "pundit". You may want to look up that word before throwing it around all fast and loose. Carlson is a muck-raker, at best.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - I don't know if you would call them "credentials" but I was a PsyOp Specialist aka Propagandist.

"Pundit" or "American conservative political commentator and writer," there isn't much difference although a "pundit" is considered an expert, seems somewhat subjective.

MSG Billy Brumfield - And how does that equate to the ability to determine journalistic credibility?

And how does a qualification of expertise seem "subjective"? Are your qualifications subjective?

MSgt Steve Sweeney - What determines or identifies someone as an expert in politics? Is there a certification/degree that is used to identify someone as an expert?

I mean, there are bigfoot experts out there.

I went to the qualification course at the JFKSWCS and have a certificate and worked in the field. I had to pass a course to obtain the qualification for the certificate I possess.

Tucker Carlson and journalism in the same sentence = LOL.

Also are you really defending Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin? Really? Putin is using Carlson as a propanda mouthpiece and Tucker is playing the role perfectly for him. Villainizing the press. Lauding autocrats for years. Claims English speaking outlets are "corrupt" and "lie" and disseminate propaganda...yet he's literally disseminating propaganda.

Western outlets have been trying to get interviews with Putin all this time and he declines them access - because he knows they won't be some little puppet like Tucker. Putin repeatedly declines access to outlets that request it. WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich is literally in jail in Russia for doing his job as a reporter. Putin has been doing nothing but locking up journalists, fining Big Tech for "hosting fake information" on the Ukraine invasion and then pushed through censorship laws to control any information in Russia.

Yet here you are seemingly defending Putin? Defenidng his mouthpiece? Why? This is quite possibly the weirdest thing I've seen posted in awhile. Tucker Carlson is not a journalist. He is not doing anything legitimate with this interview. I wouldn't be surprised to see the next thing he does is renounce his US citizenship to become a Russian citizen...I mean he sure loves pushing out their propaganda.

MSG Billy Brumfield - I sure would like an example of all this "knee bending" you are talking about. By all means, provide an example of the biased journalism of which you speak.

MSG Billy Brumfield - Ok...um...but we're talking about 2024...so...yeah. And since the Ukraine invasion Putin has NOT given access to ANY western journalists or anyone from the West to do an interview UNTIL Carlson. Is that simple enough for you to understand? Can you come to us in the present time? Or do you love to just live in the past? We are talking about what's been going on since Ukraine, that he hasn't given anyone access since Ukraine. That he's been literally jailing journalists, including a WSJ reporter, for doing their jobs and then controls the media in Russia.

Why do you keep defending this? It's a bit weird...

Ooh "dipshit?" Really? So mature. Wow. Lol. Idgaf by the way. Have a day.

Tell ya what, if he lets Putin talk and then the interpreter you can be fairly assured the interpreter isn't lying. Too many people would be able to translate it and share it on social media.

I seriously doubt that mistake would be made again since CBS did it in the mid 80's on 60 Minutes, several times, with their interviews of Russian/Soviet citizens. I'm sure there was just a little "lost in translation" back then. (sigh)
