Tucker Carlson, Russia's useful idiot.
He has been a long time supporter of Russian propaganda, and here he is again, ready to serve Mother Russia.

Kremlin All But Admits Tucker Carlson Is a Useful Idiot
Thu, February 8, 2024
To suggest Carlson himself has been impartial in his coverage of the war between Russia and Ukraine is laughable, however, and it’s not hard to discern why the Kremlin is allowing him but not traditional outlets to interview Putin The former Fox News host has a long history of espousing pro-Russian talking points regarding the war, even going so far as to claim in 2019 that he was actively “[rooting] for Russia” as tensions escalated between the two nations.
So heavy was Carlson’s tilt toward the Russian line of argument that in March of 2022, Mother Jones obtained a Kremlin memo that encouraged state-controlled media outlets to “use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who sharply criticizes the actions of the United States [and] NATO, their negative role in unleashing the conflict in Ukraine, [and] the defiantly provocative behavior from the leadership of the Western countries and NATO towards the Russian Federation and towards President Putin, personally.”
Critical coverage of Putin has often resulted in the unlawful detainment — or even the deaths —- of Russian and American journalists. As Carlson waltzes into Moscow for his interview with the infamous autocrat, American journalists, including Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s Alsu Kurmasheva and Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, remain imprisoned in the country. Russia’s war against Ukraine has only amplified the nation’s crackdown on reporters, and several independent outlets and international newsgroups have been forced to shut down their operations in the country for fear of retaliation.
