This Is Spot On On Tucker Carlson — In General.

I’ll let you figure out who wrote it:

“…I am beyond disappointed in what Tucker Carlson has become… I mean Tucker — I don’t know if you listen to this — but you have a chance to admit that you made a terrible mistake by going to Moscow, that you were made use of by a fascist dictator. You don’t want to be the Walter Duranty of this story. You don’t want to be the useful idiot of American journalism who fell for a dictatorship….

So my advice is own it. You made a huge blunder and you need to admit it and recognize that you have been used by a fascist regime. The fact that Navalny was killed just after you had been made a fool of in that interview where Putin filibustered, made stuff up that you didn’t know enough Russian history to correct — all of this has all but destroyed your reputation and the only possible solution is a full and frank apology and an admission that you screwed up….”

That all rings true — and it comes from his own… hard right side of the aisle.

Onward.

Friday Night Update: the “super genius” that is Hinderaker feels Putin’s murder of Mr. Navalny is essentially equivalent to Trump’s loss today in court — of over a half billion dollars. That’s unworthy if any response. End update.

Mr. Navalny reportedly lost consciousness in an arctic prison cell sometime yesterday — and has died.

He was 47. His crime? Opposing Putin. Peacefully.

Putin tried to poison him four years ago, in Germany. He survived. Then, on his return to Russia — fearless, but perhaps foolish — he was jailed and ultimately handed a three decade sentence.

Putin is a coward. He cannot meet criticism with reasoned discussion.

And Tucker Carlson is a churlish pig, for his servile broadcast interview of Putin last week, and his propaganda pieces on how Moscow’s trains are “spotless and running on time”. [Scott Johnson has similar criticisms of Carlson and Putin. Nice.]

I wonder why Carlson (ever a supporter of vigorous dissent — or more precisely, grabbing big payoffs to say provocative stuff) didn’t ask Putin why he hasn’t freed Mr. Navalny — last week.

Oh well. Too late, right, Tucker?

Out.
