People call Tucker Carlson a useful idiot. But a useful idiot doesn't know the truth; he's taken in & taken advantage of. Carlson knows what he's doing. He's not a useful idiot for the liars & dictators. He's their knowing co-conspirator.

Leaked Kremlin Memo to Russian Media: It Is “Essential” to Feature Tucker Carlson
The Russian government has pressed outlets to highlight the Fox host’s Putin-helping broadcasts.

On March 3, as Russian military forces bombed Ukrainian cities as part of Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion of his neighbor, the Kremlin sent out talking points to state-friendly media outlets with a request: Use more Tucker Carlson.

“It is essential to use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who sharply criticizes the actions of the United States [and] NATO, their negative role in unleashing the conflict in Ukraine, [and] the defiantly provocative behavior from the leadership of the Western countries and NATO towards the Russian Federation and towards President Putin, personally,” advises the 12-page document written in Russian. It sums up Carlson’s position: “Russia is only protecting its interests and security.” The memo includes a quote from Carlson: “And how would the US behave if such a situation developed in neighboring Mexico or Canada?”

The document—titled “For Media and Commentators (recommendations for coverage of events as of 03.03)”—was produced, according to its metadata, at a Russian government agency called the Department of Information and Telecommunications Support, which is part of the Russian security apparatus. It was provided to Mother Jones by a contributor to a national Russian media outlet who asked not to be identified. The source said memos like this one have been regularly sent by Putin’s administration to media organizations during the war. Independent media outlets in Russia have been forced to shut down since the start of the conflict.

1. At this point I don't think it matters...

... wheahter Carlson is a "usful idiot" or "a knowing co-conspirator."


People who watch him believe the BS he spews so it's equally dangerous. We still wind up with the same results.

2. Fox has a connection to Russia. DOJ needs to investigate the Murdochs.

3. No doubt about it. ...nt

[Mr. Ected]

4. A key element of a crime is malice aforethought

Knowingly spreading dangerous disinformation to a large audience regarding a state enemy should be a punishable offense. Period.

[Mr. Steve]

5. Definitely yes.

Either way, he is of no use to anyone who is not an authoritarian or a potential stooge.

6. Tucker is the modern day version of Tokyo Rose.

Spewing Russian propaganda every night to his brainwashed audience here and rerun in Russia to convince them that Putin is doing nothing wrong. Traitor Tucker is still carrying Trump’s water.

[TNNurse]

12. He is simply a traitor.

[benfranklin1776]

14. Indeed he is.

As is his employer. Long past time cable subscribers in this country be given the option to dump Faux News from their cable package as those fees finance their campaign against America.

[Tommymac]

13. Where is Jon Stewart when we really need him.

He took down Tucker and Crossfire on CNN in 2004...

maybe ridicule will work again.

[NoMoreRepugs]

16. I'd suggest an ass beating of epic proportions would work better.

But that’s just me.

18. Filthy un-American treasonous tucker

[Butterflylady]

19. He is our Benedict Arnold. He will be listed in history books as a traitor.

25. Yes indeed

I'm amazed that the Faux Noise viewers haven't figured it out yet.
