2. I think he realizes that his Russian support makes him look pretty back

Of course we know that he doesn't just look pretty bad, he IS pretty bad. It will be fun to see how far he back pedals his crush on Putin. I guess since Russian money is no longer available to him and the other Russian ass lickers here in the USA, their enthusiasm for all things Putin will begin to wane.

And still have an audience or a prominent position in a major US media corporation.

More like Russian Propaganda channel West.

And they don't care if they are caught lying on camera, they'll just push out more lies to cover that up and make people forget.

8. Major in terms of US viewership

No question Faux News is qualitatively no different than PRAVDA propaganda. Whose interests is Murdoch serving, besides his own? Given the content, he's definitely on the side of authoritarianism in the current struggle to save democracy.

But what still amazes me is how Carlson's audience who saw him repeatedly take Russia's side in the Ukraine conflict can still believe a word he says after flatly denying what he actually did on tape.

If the survival of democracy depends on the informed consent of the governed, the appetite for obvious misinformation among American voters is extremely concerning.

5. Nor can Tucker deny that he went to Hungary to support another authoritarian government.

Orban is up for re-election next month, and he has turned Hungary into an authoritarian state and supported Putin, though he’s walking a tightrope now with Putin’s attack on Ukraine. Was Tucker ordered to go to Hungary, or does he just prefer dictators?
