Tucker Carlson faces media fury over Putin interview – POLITICO
A monologue from Carlson, criticizing Western media and claiming it doesn’t hear Putin’s side of the story, triggered backlash from American and Russian journalists. He will be the first American to interview Putin since the start of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly two years ago. Anne Applebaum, an American journalist and historian, contested Carlson’s claims, pointing out that many journalists have interviewed Putin and that his speeches are widely covered. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the interview took place but did not reveal when it would air. The interview will be released “unedited” and “not behind a paywall” on Carlson’s personal website.
