I want a more serious journalist than @tuckercarlson to interview #Putin. Someone who would bring up Nuland's #FuckTheEU recording, Merkel's comments on #Minsk, pipelines, but also his assassinations etc of his critics. While Putin wouldn't allow that, we also seem to lack journalists interested in all sides of the conflict. The public isn't dumb, it's poorly informed and distracted. And we're treated like children unable to critically consume any media biased "by the other side". #uspol

@wjmaggos @tuckercarlson

And, as you pointed out, there will be subject matter that is off the table for discussion, at the behest of Vlad. That's not Tucker's fault.

You know what would be fun? Jordan Peterson. He's a TERRIBLE interviewer, but can't you just see him laying into Putin? It would be hysterical! Assuming, of course, that it didn't start a ww3...

@Vox @tuckercarlson @MidnightRider @threalist

if you interview someone important and only ask them about what they want to talk about, you're doing PR. it's not journalism. it's not serious.

I am glad that Tucker reaches more people with info they don't have than many other pundits are willing to do. but what gets painted as brave is often just playing to a different audience.

while we're all biased, their job is to fight against that in themselves, to help clarify the world. a standard to judge them by.

people are not awake or asleep. it's a spectrum we're all on regarding different subjects. the binary thinking makes it worse.

institutions are not more broken now than we are just seeing how imperfect they have always been imo. our job is to rebuild them, not to mock them or break society. it will not be entertaining.

@wjmaggos @Vox @tuckercarlson @MidnightRider @threalist Some other journalists are saying that they tried to get him to do an interview several times but he never approved them.

@Moon @tuckercarlson @MidnightRider @Vox @threalist

I'd love names. maybe cause those others wouldn't get Putin as much attention, but probably imo because they'd be more adversarial with him.

@wjmaggos @Moon @tuckercarlson @MidnightRider @threalist

Thank you Captain Obvious?

Because you think Putin would agree to being challenged and criticized in front of an audience? To what purpose? In his shoes, would YOU agree to an adversarial interview?

@Vox @Moon @tuckercarlson @MidnightRider @threalist

but he did agree to Tucker. your view seems to back up at least part of what the left is saying, that it's going to be propaganda and thus Tucker is a willing Putin propagandist. they don't want people to listen to this propaganda in the same way the so-called red pilled don't want people listening to the M5M.

imo there is no answer to this except for none of us to support shitty journalism, leaving only tough journos for leaders to talk to.

Yes, he did, and yes, that implies that Tucker will be at least non-confrontational. This shouldn't be news to anyone. Call it propaganda all you want, but the bottom line is, if you want to hear the man speak, you're gonna hafta put up with HIS choice of interviewer. He's in the Big Club, and rank-n-file libs AIN'T. Deal with it or don't watch it, is the "red pill" take. We don't care who hears m5m. Just stay out of our wallets.

@Vox @Moon @tuckercarlson @MidnightRider @threalist

the red pill take is if we don't hate the m5m, we are sheeple. they call you racists etc. it's all very constructive. I'd prefer we instead work together toward media decentralization, v4v, journalism standards and how to have more good faith conversations.

re the Putin interview, if it gets people another perspective on the war, great. but we shouldn't need Tucker for that. he gives speeches and there are translations.

> I'd prefer we instead work together toward media decentralization

Tucker is quite literally that. He got kicked off the reservation and he's using his own website and twitter because the establishment doesnt want him to have a voice.
@wjmaggos @Vox @tuckercarlson @MidnightRider @threalist you are absolutely right that it is more important to create something worth having than it is to focus on opposing something, but at the same time the leviathan is not going to just let you opt out.

@wjmaggos @Moon @tuckercarlson @MidnightRider @threalist

I'm not sure what your definition of red pill is, but i'll go with this wiki: "The red pill and blue pill represent a choice between the willingness to learn a potentially unsettling or life-changing truth by taking the red pill or remaining in the contented experience of ordinary reality with the blue pill" This makes me a red piller. I don't think I've ever called you a name, but I've done my bit to support v4v. Time, talent, & $$$

@wjmaggos @Moon @tuckercarlson @MidnightRider @threalist

You're right. We shouldn't need Tucker for that. The fact that we do says something about a society that requires spoon-feeding.Afaik, that's just getting worse, too, as public education continues to fail, and public indoctrination gets more problematic.
