    Tucker should be charged with Treason and if found guilty...well.....the penalty should fit the crime.

    the left has recently developed an extreme level of comfort with locking up and bankrupting all political opposition

    I don't speak for the left, a huge group you routinely oversimplify. But, if you're referring to people like Trump, he keeps breaking laws and juries of his peers keep holding him to account. It is not as complicated as his weird narratives would lead you to believe. (e.g. everyone is out to get me!1!! I never did anything wrong!!1!. Send me some money, won't you, to "save America"?)

    I don't think the left has "locked up" anyone who hasn't broken a law. Lots of trump lawyers have ended up in prison, but a lot of that predates his entering politics. In fact, he had some skeezy political friends on the left back in the day. I think one of those New York left politicians actually ended up in prison. (shrug)

    Just a couple of dudes hanging out in button down shirts, one of whom is a neo nazi Sub stacker, talking about how Hitler was misunderstood, the Holocaust was a just a logistics snafu that resulted in humane euthanasia, and the British were the real terrorists[​IMG]

    Very cool normal stuff.

    The role of Tucker Carlson in Russian state media’s propaganda strategy



    Russian state media’s reliance on American far-right news personality Tucker Carlson whose content
    gives them ammo to back up their narratives in a much better way than they ever could.

    Russian state media has often relied on the ex-Fox News Channel anchor and his “knack for polarization.”

    “This benefits Russian propagandists because it allows them to piggyback off Carlson’s knack for polarization. Russian news hosts take clips of Carlson’s shows and build their own segments around them, following his lead on topics and expanding on his narratives.

    case in point,

    Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Carlson “used a March 2022 episode of his primetime show to give oxygen to a bizarre conspiracy theory about the supposed development of
    US bioweapons in Ukraine.” The conspiracy had been making the rounds in fringe online circles after a QAnon follower came across an old Russian disinformation campaign,
    combined it with the origins of COVID-19 and then added on the events in Ukraine.

    The bioweapons narrative was neither the first nor the last time that Carlson’s work has been of extraordinary value to Russian state media, but also to Moscow’s propaganda strategy more broadly.
    Carlson has emerged as one of the loudest voices opposing Western support for Ukraine, while continuing to speak positively of Russia and even Putin himself.
