Tucker Carlson Alleges That the US Government Blocked Him From Interviewing Putin

Back in July, Tucker Carlson revealed that he had been trying to arrange an interview with Vladimir Putin -- and that the NSA began reading his emails and leaking them selectively to the press.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Wednesday he had been attempting to schedule an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin before he publicly claimed last week that the National Security Agency (NSA) was spying on him.
Carlson's comments came just after Axios published a report, citing sources familiar with the conversations, that Carlson had been communicating with Kremlin intermediaries in the U.S. about scheduling an interview with Putin when the Fox News host began accusing the NSA of spying on him.
Axios noted, however, that it had not confirmed if any of Carlson's communications were intercepted and if so, why.
Carlson, during his show on Wednesday, confirmed that he "contacted a couple of people I thought could help get us an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin."
He said he did not tell anyone about the attempt, other than his executive producer, because he "figured that any kind of publicity would rattle the Russians, and make the interview less likely to happen," before again accusing the Biden administration of "reading my emails" and leaking the contents to news organizations.

He now says that the debased, tyrannical government of this shithole country "stopped" him from doing so. He doesn't mention the NSA's surveillance of him.

Tucker Carlson has claimed that he was prevented from interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin by the United States government.
Speaking to Swiss magazine Die Weltwoche, the former Fox News host did not specify when he had attempted to conduct the interview, giving it as an example of what he saw as an attempt to "subvert a democracy" by controlling the media.
"I tried to interview Vladimir Putin, and the U.S. government stopped me," he said in the article, published on Thursday. "By the way, nobody defended me. I don't think there was anybody in the news media who said, 'Wait a second. I may not like this guy, but he has a right to interview anyone he wants, and we have a right to hear what Putin says.'
"You're not allowed to hear Putin's voice. Because why? There was no vote on it. No one asked me. I'm 54 years old. I've paid my taxes and followed the law," he said.

It is unclear which arm of the U.S. government Carlson claims blocked the interview. Newsweek reached out to the White House via email for comment on Monday.

To defeat Russia, it was necessary to become Russia.

A U.S. government shutdown would negatively impact the country's credit, credit rating agency Moody's said Monday, a stern warning coming one month after Fitch downgraded the U.S. by one notch on the back of a debt ceiling crisis.

U.S. government services would be disrupted and hundreds of thousands of federal workers furloughed without pay if Congress fails to provide funding for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1. A possible shutdown would be further evidence of how political polarization in Washington is weakening fiscal policymaking at a time of rising pressures on U.S. government debt affordability because of higher interest rates, Moody's analyst William Foster told Reuters.

Russia Currently has sanctions on it and interviews of this level need to be pre-cleared and the reporter will have to agree to be debriefed and interviewed and also Tucker would have to travel to either Russia or a Russia aligned country and also get pre-clearance by State to do so.

The more than likely told him to go piss up a rope.

It was a huge cemetery with a dozen or so graves of Waffen SS members. So ... a manufactured issue. Did they really think that Reagan staffers were going to vet thousands of graves for a brief visit?

JFC, do we have to go through this AGAIN???

The German Democratic Republic was a democracy with free elections, right? Why not ? IT’S IN THE NAME!!!

Interestingly, the Nazis and Communists FOUGHT EACH OTHER. The SPD wanted nothing to do with the NSDAP, And the attitude towards private property is revealing. The Communists hated the idea.

And don’t even mention socialized medicine to me; that was come up with by Bismarck in the 1880s.

And it’s all stupid anyway, Nazis and Commies are on the same totalitarian coin, and both are evil.

Posted by: BurtTC at September 25, 2023 05:27 PM (dGCAG)

It was a leftist op once Germany attacked the USSR in 1941 to separate the good Leftists from the bad Leftists that continues to this day.

And Fascism doesn't require racism, Italy wasn't anti Semitic and that is where it was invented. What a leftist state needs are *internal enemies* to justify wielding power and in anti-Semitic Germany and East Europe it was a natural fit.

Putin is President by direct election. Back in the day the USSR I believe had a President that was a position without power, the Chairman of the Central Committee was the true head of state.
