- Carlson has been a defender of Putin and has echoed Kremlin talking points.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin amid rumors that the former Fox News host is in Moscow.
Carlson was spotted in Moscow in the audience at the world-famous Bolshoi Theater, according to Russian Telegram channel Mash.
The report that Carlson is in Russia sparked speculation that he might interview Putin while there, who has been largely isolated from the world stage following his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
“Democrats and their propagandists in the media are spasming at the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin,” Greene wrote on X.
The Georgia Rep. added: “They HATE when someone like Tucker goes ‘off script.’ We have a free press in this country and its people like Tucker Carlson who we depend on to speak the truth!”
Russia was never communist. China isn’t either. McCarthyism was never about facts. Mostly feelings. Almost completely irrational fear.
Yes, of course. I understand that. But many don’t and never will even if you give them a 45 minute lecture on it.
Edit: you know I just had an idea. What if people started making truthful videos in the style of conspiracy videos. The whackos might start soaking up facts instead.
They don’t believe things because they are conspiracy. They aren’t seeking any sort of truth. They want to believe what they want to believe. And since they can’t support their beliefs factually. They rely on conspiracy theories.
Case in point my previous 100% factual and uncontroversial statement is already -2 or -3. That all these Communist parties were never communist. Or consider that Republicans in the 1930s plotted a fascist overthrow of FDR. It would be the sort of true conspiracies you’re talking about. But they reject them because it goes against the narrative they’ve been indoctrinated with.
In their world Republicans are the good guys, and commies are commies. And anything you present that deviates from that will be rejected no matter how you frame it. Or how factual it is.
I wish it worked like you speculated though. Because it would be a way to reach them. But Like I said before. They aren’t in search of a conclusion. They’re starting with a conclusion in searching for anything that could lead them to their desired conclusion.
Sort of, yeah. the TL;DR is cults gonna cult.
That’s not entirely true, I fell down the rabbit hole in my early 20s just trying to make sense of the world. Things are incredibly complex, but when you see a video about “the money masters” and how a line can be drawn from one event to another (whether true or not) it leave you questioning what you’ve been taught especially if you already understand that we’re all being propagandized constantly. The mainstream becomes the propaganda and the randos on the Internet become more trustworthy by default.
It took time and observation of how reality played out for me to get with the plot again, just wanted to say it’s not always someone seeking confirmation of what they already want to believe. I want to believe America was always the “good” nation we’re brainwashed to believe in school lol
People who are poorly educated (or just plain dumb) love magical thinking.
Hence the destruction of the education system.
Critical thinking is essential for a modern society. Plus wiping out the shits who are profiting from the lying rightwing media ecosystem.
Fun fact MaCarthyism was helped along by Roy Cohen, Trump’s same Roy.
