True to Form, the Corporate Media Smears Tucker Carlson’s Interview with Putin

The reaction of the corporate media and pundits to Tucker Carlson’s interview with Putin is predictable. They all bash Carlson – in Europe they are threatening Carlson with judicial hearings – and claim that Putin seized the opportunity to deceive and threaten the West. One simply asks the question, don’t we have the right to hear the other side of the story? I listened to the interview the other night (I accessed it by chance) and was impressed by the seriousness of Putin’s arguments and his thorough command of the subject matter regarding Ukraine, Russian history and foreign policy in general. You don’t have to be an admirer of Putin (I’m not) to recognize that he towers way over Biden, Trump, Pence and Kamala Harris. The corporate media can’t let people listen to the interview with an open mind because many will end up questioning the media’s demonization of Putin, as well as their objectivity, not to say professional ethics.
