Tucker Carlson a Russian Asset?

[brettdale]

I know people are joking, but is Tucker Carlson actually a Russian asset?

[Ocelot II]

1. Asset or agent?

[Kittycatkat]

12. He's a Russian cutout

[AntiFascist]

2. Paid operative n/t

[Lithos]

6. This...

He knows where is funding comes from and what is expected of him. Love to be a fly on the wall in his bank(s)

[relayerbob]

3. Sure looks that way.

Hope someone's watching his bank transactions

[DBoon]

8. undisclosed payments from a foreign government should knock him off the air immediately

What you say may be protected by the 1st amendment (with some exceptions), who is paying you and under what conditions is not.

[dchill]

4. I believe he's a willing agent.

In other words, he's not being coerced. He's being paid handsomely.

[Goonch]

5. PRAVDA

[Sneederbunk]

7. Tool/Fool.

[uponit7771]

9. Better question is HOW MUCH of a Russian asset is Cucker Tarlson

[BigmanPigman]

20. You beat me to it.

[TreasonousBastard]

10. I think he's just an asshole loooking for a point to make, and the Russians are happy to have him.

[lagomorph777]

31. That's a very charitable interpretation.

He's being paid.

[Historic NY]

11. Tucker is a A$$et

[spanone]

13. Listen to what he says, of course he is. They are using his words against us in their propaganda

There doesn't have to be paperwork.

[XiJung]

14. Who is watching him?!! n/t

[spooky3]

15. Traitor nt

[Mariana]

16. I think it's unlikely.

I think he's a performer with a very keen understanding of what his audience wants to hear. That's why his show is so popular - his job is to attract and retain viewers, and he's very good at it. It so happens that his audience wants to hear that everything President Biden does is wrong and bad. That includes supporting Ukraine against Russia. Carlson most likely will never agree with President Biden on his program, about anything, because he would lose viewers if he did.

What will he do if the US and Russia enter a formal state of war? I think he'll stop talking on the air about that subject entirely, and stick to criticizing President Biden on domestic issues.

[Joinfortmill]

18. Sure seems like it. Murdochs too.

[Yorkie Mom]

19. Maybe he's just an idot who likes to try to p*ss the left off and play to his base.

I don't know, man. He doesn't need the money, and he has fame. But he sure does spout some crap that I can't believe he lets come out of his mouth.

[Ocelot II]

21. That's the most likely explanation. His audience is TFG's base,

and he has to keep inciting and pandering to them to keep their attention and make them want more. And Putin loves it.

[Igel]

23. Useful idiot.

Not even fellow traveler.

[mahina]

22. Asset? 100%

[Meowmee]

24. A someone else said

A paid operative imo. He is also part of those who participated in the over 1 million covid murders.

Whatever happened to the lawsuit about the voting machine software, wasn’t he one of the defendants in that suit?

[Thomas Hurt]

25. useful idiot, they don't have to tell them or direct them...

the Pig and Carlson just toe the line through their own gullibility and stupidity.

[Raine]

26. Yes, they use him for propaganda so they certainly see him as an asset. 🤮 nt

[pressbox69]

27. Doesn't He

get enough money being a Swanson Food Princeling? I stopped buying and serving Swanson foods when I found out he's a Swanson family member. Just looking at packages of Swanson Food makes me throw up a little in my mouth when I think of that stupid fish face look on his face.

[Mr. Ected]

28. Regardless, he is a LIABILITY to democracy

But he has no effect if his audience refused his message.

The problem is and always will be the 35/40% of our population with authoritarian tendencies. They don't hate liberals for our beliefs, they hate us because we stand in their path of unfettered control.

Tucker will pucker and shrivel and die, but that population ain't goin' nowhere.

[Achilleaze]

29. Worse. He's a Republicans who pretends he's an American

[lagomorph777]

30. What's the question mark for?

Nobody is joking. He is clearly an asset. And an asshole.

[Kid Berwyn]

32. Obvious, as NAZIs prefer Putin over Biden.

And he inspires millions of people on tee vee to hate in exchange for millions of dollars from Rupert Murdoch.
