HuffPost ABC Reporter Calls Out Tucker Carlson Over 'Word For Word' Russian Propaganda

Jonathan Karl, ABC’s chief Washington correspondent, blasted Fox News host Tucker Carlson for consistently repeating Russian propaganda on his show.

“What is sort of inexplicable here is that what is being said is almost a plagiarism of Vladimir Putin,” Karl told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Thursday:




Karl also debunked some of Carlson’s latest conspiracy theories.

“These are statements that are not only not true, but are precisely what is being said in Moscow by Vladimir Putin,” Karl said.

To Russia under Putin. Make them choke on their love for that murderous thug.

That's just who they are.

Maybe it's pure greed, but I suspect there's a lot of psychological hatred of others, any others.

before Fox shuts him up? What does he have to say before he gets fired?

I wonder what sponsors he has left.

You can always count on TucKKKer “The Fucker” Carlson (R-Nazi POS) to do the absolute worst and wrong thing. Then whine about it when he gets called out for it (and/or deny what he did).

He suggested the possibility of foreign governments trying to influence our elections due to the SCOTUS decision. Alito in the audience could be seen mouthing the words "That's not true."

Jonathan Karl graduated from an outfit called the Collegiate Network, which groomed young reporters with a conservative bias, for big futures in media.

Wonder if he’s finally seen enough to recognize baloney when he sees/hears/reads it?

Usually these hacks stay in their own lanes and don't mess with another fella's grift. Karl giving Carlson the raspberry in public like this is very unusual.

On board with the seriousness of covid. Like as early as Feb 3 2020 he said he knew.

Guess a broken clock is right once in a blue moon.
