Tucker Carlson's recent interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, following the death of Alexei Navalny, has ignited widespread controversy and debate. Critics argue that Carlson's conduct and his portrayal of life in Russia showed a lack of objectivity, leading to accusations of him being overly favorable towards Putin. This incident has led to heated discussions among journalists and commentators, with some defending Carlson's approach as an attempt to show both sides of the story, while others condemn it as a failure to uphold journalistic standards. Additionally, former Russian oligarch Mikhail Khordokovsky, in his first interview since Navalny's death with Piers Morgan, criticized Carlson's interview approach, further fueling the debate on media bias and the role of journalists in covering complex international relations.
Tucker Carlson recently visited Russia to interview the country's president/dictator Vladimir Putin and Jon Stewart had some thoughts to share on 'The Daily Show.' https://t.co/jHAMk9LcJn
Beautiful: Tucker comparing food-shopping in Russia favorably to the US is “like taking a dump in one of Russia’s many, many outhouses when it’s 20 degrees below zero and admiring through chattering teeth at how well-built it is.” https://t.co/Y5F72iRz4Y
Given Tucker's recent Putin debacle & comments about killing people, thought I'd reshare my recent take... Reality: Many of Tucker’s musings aren't just fringe-y. They are wrong in the way that saying the Earth is flat is wrong. https://t.co/6teEXfOBzG via @thewalrus

Tucker just spent 2 hrs licking Putin's boots (w/brief interruption for an actual discussion of Evan Gershkovich), made a moron of himself fawning over the quality of life in Russia, & then got pissed on by Putin for not asking tough questions. A thing to envy, to be sure. https://t.co/XzBCWVCxNR

When Tucker Carlson fawned his way around a Russian supermarket, he was exhibiting the weakness of American self-confidence. @SwordMercury: 👇https://t.co/paSOfjDzxV
Whether you agree with Putin or Tucker isn't the point. The fact the media are going ballistic over Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin shows they have no interest in keeping people informed and showing both sides of the story. @mgh0bs for @incontextmedia https://t.co/Rdj27sFNMG
“But the incident made it obvious to me that Tucker was not a truth-seeking journalist and that when it came to Russia and the war in Ukraine, at least, he had no intention of being objective.” https://t.co/gfy73ulVDH
