What a wild time to be around in. Imagine trying to explain to a Reagan republican in the 80s that by the 2020s they’d be following a guy who literally does nothing to hide the fact that he’s a Russian asset for an ex-KGB strong man.
The right really has totally collapsed the notion of fact based reality.
I’m trying to think of what my father is saying to himself. I would guess he’s just laughing at Tuck for being “a joke” without allowing any introspection whatsoever. :)
Well, Russia is not communist anymore, Reagan would be happy!
He might be happy about defeating communism, but he wouldn’t be happy about getting cozy with Russia.
My grandfather was happy to win WW2, but he never bought a German or Japanese car, you know? Also, he didn’t use the words “German” or “Japanese”, but that’s another story…
Holy fuck.
I wonder if this is when his fans clue in. They really should.
His fans think Putin’s Russia is the way to be. “You get your coin back when you return the shopping cart!”
“You could go to Aldi for that experience…”
“No! Become Russia!”
Which fans, the ones moving to Russia, the ones that want the US to buddy up with Russia/Putin, or the ones that basically fantasize about electing Putin as US President?
Those people are thoroughly immune to reality. Not a chance.
They won’t. They fully believe that Russia is a better run country than the US. They truly believe that Russia is more free and has more rights than the US. Dictatorship is what they want.
They won’t. The “conspiratorial left” had their version of this with Abby Martin. She was on RT I believe.
Who? Like I looked her up… but I’ve never heard of her. She’s certainly not nearly as high profile as Tucker Carlson. Maybe a more apt comparison would be if someone like Rachel Maddow left MSNBC and went to Russia for RT.
Definitely a fringe audience, I was just commenting on the fact that audiences won’t change their minds when their “favorite” talking head moves to a “concerning” platform.
Yeah but the entire point this is newsworthy is that Carlson is a huge figurehead for conservatives with a huge audience going working for Russian state media.
This woman is a relative nobody, even in lefty spheres. Her moving to RT isn’t going to make the same political waves as the former FOX News darling that is Tucker Carlson
Finally, he’s home.
Nature is healing.
Correction 05/21/24, 1:10 p.m. ET: This article was updated to make clear there is no evidence the Tucker Carlson Network has done a deal with Russian state TV.
They changed the article title and comment to correctly reflect the report that Russia is just playing his crap which says enough about his ideology. But real lax initial reporting standards…
Damn. The race to be first to report is a problem. It’s worse than the old race you see in movies and tv about broadcast news and newspapers.
Traitor Carlson.
It’s like a bad joke.
It’s

Literally had to check a few times to make sure I wasn’t eating the onion 🧅
The Onion has gone so hard recently, and real stories have gotten so bizarre.
I’m really getting confused.
The powers that be have allowed The Onion to author reality “for the lulz.”
“Along the way, The Onion’s journalists have garnered a sterling reputation for accurately forecasting future events. One such coup was The Onion’s scoop revealing that a former president kept nuclear secrets strewn around his beach home’s basement three years before it even happened.”
When we entered the LHC black hole, I expected space and time to swap, not reality and satire.
Of course he did, he’s like a stereotype “Red” agent out of the Cold War. He will be living and thriving there once Dems take everything back. Good riddance.
I wish I had your optimism.
All I see in our future is Mango Mussolini and the heritage foundation/federalist society running rampant completing their fascist theocracy…
But hey, at least we taught Democrats a lesson…
It’s a long time to the election, and the more he gets to speak the more 30% of the country loves him and 60% hates him. Fight for it, but have faith. Pro-Trump rhetoric anecdotally seems much, much lower than in 2020. Fewer bumper stickers and yard signs. But I live in Michigan where the party is broke and shattered.
I think Dobbs actually broke the backs of centrist conservatives. Trump is running rightward to gain ever more crackpot voters for his base and I think there is a huge disillusioned middle.
😂
How much more proof do people need that shows this fuck along with Fox News and the Republican Party that they’re Russian informants, propagandists, useful idiots or all the above? The critical thinking in this country is beyond abysmal.
The Russian informant part is a benefit to them
It shouldn’t be long until a streaming link is available via truth social.
he will interview figures and politicians who have “alternative views to the mainstream.”
Try presenting the view that Russia invaded Ukraine. See how well that goes.
But he already had a show on Fox, and has a show on Twitter. How’s this any different?
I’ll take “no shit” for 1000, Alex
He should move there.
