Expert connects the dots between Tucker Carlson's Kremlin contacts and fawning coverage of him in Russian press

Julia Davis, who conducts analysis of Russian state media for The Daily Beast, noticed on Twitter last month that Carlson was receiving fawning adulation from the Russian press, which praised him for echoing Kremlin talking points about the Capitol riots and also for attacking America's intelligence services.

"I've been telling you guys for quite some time about how pleased the Russians are with Tucker Carlson," Davis observed after seeing the news about Carlson's efforts to score an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "I guess none of it was coincidental."

1. Putin's new Puppet.

Any offshore accounts, Tuckems?

2. Several, I bet.

3. May be $s (rubles/cryptocurrency), may be drugs, may be blackmail.

Or many other combinations.

It appears very easy for the Oligarchs of the World (OOW) to control whatever they want; perhaps not yet the little people like us. But they'll keep trying!

4. Other news outlets and reporters have interviewed Vlad. But they were upfront about doing so.

Why the hush hush back-channel antics, Tucker?

5. Maybe Tucker IS under observation

But not by who Tuck says.

6. This is a couple of damning tweets.

The NSA caught Tucker Carlson communicating with Kremlin agents.

When he found out, instead of saying he was trying to contact Putin, he went on TV and claimed U.S. spies were trying to sabotage his show.

Isn't getting interviews with politicians his job?

Lot of people reading the word "caught" and I guess adding "doing something bad" to it in their head. Probably my fault. Would "intercepted" make you stop asking stupid questions?

I've placed calls on the job to several European embassies, also Egypt a few times, and Ukraine. If I record a video about how the NSA definitely spied on me will you please pay attention to me and watch me get off

7. "Russia is our friend" - new republican meme of Trump's regime.

"Russia is our friend" - new republican meme of Trump's regime.

Used to be: “Better dead than red”

"... retired Marine Corps Gen. James N. Mattis said in May 2015 that among world threats “in the near term, I think the most dangerous might be Russia.”
