and best efforts for the also rans

Carlson is such a "diminished figure" that he now has the world's attention with this interview. I shouldn't be surprised by this kind of reaction, but these people actually think that good journalism means ignoring people you disagree with. The trend of journalists going independent has been a godsend.

And holy shit is the DC/EU establishment seething. Heaven forbid the general public hear what Putin has to say about US foreign policy. Might bring to light some uncomfortable double standards between the two countries - especially when compared to the conflict in Israel/Gaza.
Personally, I'm more interested to see the tone of Carlson's interview than Putin's answers. I hope he asks Putin hard questions that, if asked by a Russian journalist, would cause them to mysteriously fall out of a window a few days later. Some of the things I want him to ask are what his thoughts are on his underperforming military or how there are a bunch of Ukrainian saboteurs planting explosives in factories, assassinating Russians, and droning people on Russian soil.

Anything that c u n t is against, I'm automatically for.

To be fair, his star absolutely finished since leaving Fox
This is a hell of a shark jump though. Maybe not fair to say shark jump, but still a big play.
And he absolutely knows this will generate outrage and attention and clicks. I'm guessing that's more the motivation than any kind of journalistic duty

I'll make sure to watch it. I have no problem with. Putin.

Nothing earth shattering.
Putin calls out our obvious weaknesses in policy and personall I enjoyed the history lesson….Where else can you get that?
I’m kidding of
course
that was a lot

According to Putin, Russia has never been in error.. I'm surprised Georgia didn't come up. Crimea really didn't either. All the worlds problems are at at the feet of the West/US ?
I commend Carlson for doing this.. Someone needed to.. But Putin never once said "maybe we should have done this rather than that".. Not once in 2 hrs

I disagree with a lot of this. The "journalists" calling Tucker a "diminished figure" are corporate mouthpieces who will never sniff an interview of this magnitude. The interview with Putin will be more viewed than anything he ever did with Fox News. I don't follow him regularly, but just scrolling through his twitter feed it looks like his show episodes typically get more views than the highest rated shows on Fox. As it turns out, the rest of the media following Fox News' example and aiming for the lowest common denominator isn't really sustainable.
Tucker's not on the same level as Howard Stern/Jon Stewart/Bill O'Reilly when it comes to talent as an interviewer, but he did a decent job. Asked Putin questions that I would think most Americans would want to be asked. I didn't see anything in the interview that I'd consider a dereliction of journalistic duty (something he did regularly on Fox News). I'd love for him to interview Zelensky in the same manner, but I doubt the US State Department will let him do an interview that isn't meant to propagandize their war effort. The Putin interview already has over 50M views. Zelensky would probably love to have his message out to that many people.
Putin's answers weren't anything that he hasn't said in front of a camera the last two years. Lots of realpolitik and a bit of Nazism in Ukraine as a bogeyman. I was happy to see that Carlson pushed him on using that argument as a justification for invasion. I was very surprised that Carlson also spent 10 minutes of the interview arguing with Putin for the release of an American political prisoner. I just can't see a corporate journalist arguing with Putin like Carlson did there. Many of those worthless journalists were calling him a traitor for simply doing the interview, and they wonder why people stopped listening to them.

Not unlike signing Baker Mayfield nobody, none of these second third and fourth string news networks have got the money to pay Carlson what he's getting already because of his Fox contract. That's just the way it is. I would love to see the rumor happen, though I doubt it will, about a conglomerate new News Network owned by Carlson O'Reilly Megyn Kelly and maybe Beck. I think it would be a massive success if it were doable. Fox has already lost a ton of money, look at the second and third rate companies that are advertising now. Too bad Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes are out of the loop and the company is in the hands of the two idiot Sons Uday and Cusay. [Sp]

I bet the stuffed shirts at CNN, MSNBC, and their ilk were very happy when Tucker left Fox.
Hell his show alone had more viewers than CNN had in their combined prime time slot.
