Spin Zone / Re: Tucker Carlson interviews Vladimir Putin
« on: February 09, 2024, 10:31:58 PM »So you are alleging the media Mr. Carlson uses doesn't constitute journalism?He engages in propaganda - anyone who has watched his shows realizes that. Just because propagandists dig for and present dirt, er, facts, doesn't make them unbiased and thus journalists. I may agree with the goals of some propagandist but they are still what they are.

I get why you don't like the interview in question taking place. So are you in favor of the media controlling the narrative and not letting viewers see both sides of an issue?I never said I didn't like the interview taking place. I simply indicated that an ideal journalist would have also tried to interview Zelensky. But Carlson will likely not because he long ago indicated who he considers the worse side even before the secondary invasion of Ukraine:

Carlson has a specific opinion on Ukraine vs Russia and is acting to promote it. I consider it naive at best to label those actions as journalism in its most noble meaning.
