Russian State TV Using Tucker Carlson Clips to Promote War as Unrest Grows

Source: Newsweek

Russian state TV is using clips of Fox News host Tucker Carlson to promote the country's war against Ukraine amid protests against Vladimir Putin's partial mobilization.

Clips of Carlson chastising the U.S. over its continued backing of Kyiv were broadcast to millions of Russians this week as the Russian president ramped up the country's war effort, according to Russian Media Monitor creator Julia Davis.

Protests against the mobilization in Russia continued on Saturday with at least 745 people detained, according to OVD-Info, a human rights watchdog that monitors police activity.

In political jargon, a useful idiot is a term for a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders. The term was originally used during the Cold War to describe non-communists regarded as susceptible to communist propaganda and manipulation. -- Wikipedia

One might argue that tucklefuck does, in fact, fully comprehend the goals of "the cause," but that just reclassifies him as "traitor."

As vile as he is, he's not that stupid.

Simply paying attention to the news in Ukraine and Russia, even Fox News, should inform you what's going on.

That Tucker ignores ALL that, brings on guests to enforce that ignorance with PROVABLE lies, makes Tucker a traitor.

Too harsh? Tell me your term.

Well, there are a number of possibilities including but not limited to him being paid by Russia.

I copied the pertinent info from his Wikipedia page. Carlson is the leader of the propaganda assault on America from Russia.

The problem with Americans is that aren’t very politically useful, but some sure are idiots.

The worst are as dangerous as an abandoned land mine—they explode indiscriminately and are designed to cripple anyone in the vicinity.

Now he has blood on his hands even if it is because of his fat ugly mouth.

Oh, wait. We don't do that to "traitors" in this country.

How does he live with himself?
How does his family stand him?
How do his neighbors put up with this traitor?
