Det er blevet bemærket, at Tucker Carlson er taget til Rusland og det forskrækker pressen. Berlingske Tidende skrev “Velkommen til fremtidens USA: Trump slagter Ukraine-støtte, mens tidligere Fox-vært er på charmeoffensiv i Rusland”. Trump slagter og Tucker er på charmeoffensiv – motivet er vigtigt inden det er etableret “I weekenden blev Carlson nemlig afsløret på charmeoffensiv i Rusland”. Det, der er fordækt, bliver afsløret. Heldigvis er resten bag betalingsmur. Men det er Danmarks Radio ikke
Tucker Carlson er en kontroversiel figur i det amerikanske mediebillede. I flere år var han en af de allerstørste værtsprofiler på mediegiganten Fox News, hvor millioner af seere hver aften tændte for fjernsynet for at se talkshowet ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ i bedste sendetid.
I programmet gik Tucker Carlson ofte til angreb på de liberales “politiske korrekthed”, lyder det i en analyse fra mediet The Economist. Han har delt vandene i USA og er flere gange blevet anklaget for at sprede misinformation.
Og så citerer de Charlotte Flindt Pedersen, der er direktør i Det Udenrigspolitiske Selskab, fra et interview med P1 Morgen
– Putin vil kunne nå et amerikansk publikum. Grundlæggende har Tucker Carlson og Putin den samme målgruppe i USA: et højreorienteret Trump-støttende publikum. Derfor vil det være rigtig smart for Putin, hvis han gennem Tucker Carlson, kan nå de her amerikanske seere.
Det kan også gavne Putin forud for det russiske præsidentvalg i marts, fortæller Charlotte Flindt Pedersen.
– Han kan vise, at han er en så interessant person, at han optræder på amerikansk TV, og derved kan han også få en eller anden form for legitimitet.
Og så vil et eventuelt interview med Tucker Carlson også understøtte Putins narrativ.
– Tucker Carlson kommer med det samme narrativ: at det sådan set er Zelenskyj, der er diktatoren, og Putin der er den gode, og at det er en retfærdig krig, de fører.
Man kan ikke længere afmelde licensen. Adam ‘naked Trump’ Schiff, den Demokratiske Repræsentant, der førte an i Demokraternes Rigsrets-forsøg imod tidligere præsident Donald Trump, skrev at Tucker var ‘en nyttig idiot’ – hvilket er hans milde side. En advokat spekulerer i om det overhovedet er lovligt for den amerikanske statsborger Tucker Carlson at interviewe Putin. “CNN is seething at Tucker Carlson for daring to do real journalism.” skriver Charlie Kirk og det var ingen overdrivelse
A massive shakeup i Kiev coming as Putin is trying to court the MAGA GOP in the United States. In fact, one of the leaders of the MAGA GOP is in Moscow tonight. It’s the man you see here with the MAGA leader Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson. Possibly there in Moscow to interview Putin, definitely there as a Putin Supporting celebrity.
Just listen to how Russia state media is breathlessly celebrating his visit
[CNN agtig propaganda blot på russisk]
“He charged his phone” although there are no details that it was during af USB port may give him reason to think twice about all of this. But look at the talking about him like a celebrity. Everything he does on camera breathlessly repeated. Now, it is unclear if an interview between Putin and Carlson will take place, but if it does, it gives Putin a chance to sit down with a big supporter
Også på CNN skriver Christiane Amanpour
Does Tucker really think we journalists haven’t been trying to interview President Putin every day since his full scale invasion of Ukraine? It’s absurd — we’ll continue to ask for an interview, just as we have for years now.
Så hvorfor skulle Carlson så ikke også interviewe Putin? Som Glenn Greenwald minder om, så har han jo før interviewet krigsforbrydere såsom John Bolton, der pralede af sin rolle i regime-skift forsøg i Irak, Libyen, Iran og Syrien. Og som Tucker selv og mange med ham minder, har nogen vestlig journalist foretaget et kritisk interview med Zelinsky? Babylon Bee skrev “Journalists Confused Over Journalist Doing Journalism”.
Anna Applebaum kaldte i The Atlantic Tucker for The American Face of Authoritarian Propaganda
“Axis Sally” was the generic name for women with husky voices and good English who read German and Italian propaganda on the radio during World War II. Like the Japanese women who became collectively known as “Tokyo Rose,” they were trying to reach American soldiers, hoping to demoralize them by telling them their casualties were high, their commanders were bad, and their cause was lost. “A lousy night it sure is,” Axis Sally said on one 1944 broadcast: “You poor, silly, dumb lambs, well on your way to be slaughtered.”
Tucker Carlson, who also repeats the propaganda of foreign dictators while speaking English, doesn’t have anything like the historical significance of Axis Sally or Tokyo Rose, though his level of credibility is similar. This is a man who famously wrote texts about his loathing of Donald Trump, even while praising the then-president in public; recently, the former Fox News host kept a straight face while interviewing a convicted fraudster who claimed to have smoked crack and had sex with Barack Obama. But when Carlson speaks on behalf of Viktor Orbán or Vladimir Putin, his words are repeated in Hungary and Russia, where they do have resonance: Look, a prominent American journalist supports us. I don’t know what Carlson’s motivation is—he did not respond to a request for comment—but his words also circulate in the far-right American echo chamber, where they are sometimes repeated by Republican presidential candidates, so unfortunately they require some explanation.
Samme spor er Guy Verhofstadt inde på
Tucker Carlson is surely on the path to being labelled a propagandist for the Russian regime.
If he enables disinformation for Putin, the EU should explore a travel ban !
Som Jonathan Turley bemærkede, så er der ikke interesse i pressen for kommissærens trusler imod ytringsfrihed “Free speech is already in a free fall in the EU.” Verhofstadt rasede i sin tid imod Brexit fordi fremtiden tilhørte imperierne og ikke nationalstaterne
The world order of tomorrow is not a world order based on nation states or countries. It’s a world order that is based on empires.
China is not a nation; it’s a civilization.
India, you know it better than I do, is not a nation. There are 2,000 nations in India. There are 20 different languages that are used there. There are four big religions at the same time, and its 2011 census recorded five regions with more than five million inhabitants.It is the biggest democracy worldwide.
The U.S. is also an empire, more than a nation. Maybe tomorrow they will speak more Spanish than English; I don’t know what will happen.
And then finally, the Russian Federation.
The world of tomorrow is a world of empires, in which we Europeans and you British can only defend your interests, your way of life, by doing it together in a European framework and a European Union.
Anyways, George Papadopoulos, som var rådgiver for Trumps valgkamp i 2016 og som FBI forsøgte at narre til at begå forrædderi, siger at myndighederne ikke er bange for selve interviewet, “They are afraid that they no longer can control the narrative.” Fortællingen her, er selvfølgelig primært krigen i Ukraine. Ihukom det fortællings-kompleks der foregøglede en ukrainsk ‘Forårsoffensiv’, der kunne presse russerne langt tilbage og med lidt held, hvem vidste? helt ud af Ukraine, der kunne returnere til sit gamle, hele selv komplet med etniske stridigheder, nogle ville kalde det borgerkrig, som der blev rapporteret om artilleri dueller, i Donbass. En udmattelseskrig, hvor den invaderende magt er mange gange større, producerer sine egne våbensystemer, har sine egne råstoffer og uanede mængder af energiressourcer, skulle altså kunne vindes af den lille magt, helt afhængig af sponsorernes penge og aflagte våben.
Den tidligere censøse Nina Jankovich advarer mod “The Coming Flood of Disinformation”. Så tilbage til CNNs harceleren, hvor det pludseligt hedder om situationen i Ukraine, hvor det ikke er heroisk sejr, der skal sælges, men derimod en sentimental tåreperser, der skal caste Tucker i den onde bølles rolle
I was standing in Ukraine 48 hours before the war began there. Well Carson the stood by Putin consistently all the way through. An d that is why he can go to Moscow now without any fear of being summarily imprisoned. He’s a hero. This was Putins mouthpiece i the United States, somebody who had turned a blind eye to the atrocities committed by Putin because they were happening far away.
Once vibrant towns turned to ruins, mass graves with dozens of bodies in the Kiev suburbs, a theater full of innocent women and children sheltering bombed, despite the giant word ‘children’ written on the roof, more than 200.000 ukrainian soldiers killed og injured. And tonight Putin is trying to seize on the fact that Zelinsky’s military seems to be in turmoil, capitalizing on a moment of intense American dysfunction an in testifying strikes.
Så hvem har spredt desinformation om Ukraine? Og hvem vil have det udsigtsløse vanvid til at fortsætte?
