it comes down to do you support distributing enemy propaganda during a time of war.

We are at war with Russia? Really? Wow, someone really is susceptible to propaganda, and it's not me.

I support freedom of speech and freedom of the press

So you do not support defenestrating reporters who disagree with you?

As opposed to the propaganda from most of the American media and current administration that one is a "Russian apologist" if you don't support sending more money to Ukraine than for our own problems at home?

I just find the panicked, knee-jerk, responses to Tucker to so amusing - because they reveal just how shallow some people think. The idea of questioning the honesty of our govt has become a 'hate crime' to some.

it is the truth, clearly an uncomfortable one to you, that in 2024 republicans and putin are aligned in their desires to cut off american support to ukraine against russia. putin finally called off his two year moratorium on interviews with western media to advanced that desire with a sympathetic mouthpiece in tucker.

---

No, the uncomfortable truth is the Democrats and a number of Republicans don't give a damn about the American people - and would rather send more money to other nation's borders than our own. They care more about Ukraine, the money laundering promised land for the elite, than they do for America's problems. They use the media to manipulate and lie to the people. In many aspects, they behave no differently than Putin.

This isn't about rooting for Russia against Ukraine - most people don't give a damn about that regional conflict.

This is about people like you who are complete denial of how dishonest and disingenuous our current leaders are... and you're stupid or naive enough to believe them every time they tell you something. "You mean Ukraine needs more money! Oh no! We better send it as fast as possible! If you don't agree you're a Putin lover!!"

---

pretty much every sentence of this post is something I expect to hear putin say during the interview, nothing but russian propaganda

---

Quite the educated response there.

So you lack the intellect to actually address the issue...so you go back to the simpleton talking point of:
"You're Hitler Putin!!!! REEEEEE!!!"

So anyone who isn't blanketly in favor of sending continuous blank checks, drawn on American taxpayer money, to a corrupt dictator who canceled elections in his own country is a "Russian apologist"?

Do you understand how stupid that sounds?

So he says mean things about the people you like, therefore he has to be the enemy.

That's fine, I just don't buy this false notion that Tucker and a few like him are the problem while ignoring the numerous other mainstream news outlets in this country that go to bat for Biden and the Dems like the Russian media does for Putin.

Putin is a war criminal and an enemy of the United States.

Would we be happy about interviewing Adolf Hitler in 1943 to hear his views of the world? Would we have wanted to have King George III give interviews to Americans in 1778?

it comes down to do you support distributing enemy propaganda during a time of war.

I'm not saying it's immoral- but it is certainly not something to be celebrated.

so many of you are such inflexible ideologues that you will justify the dumbest ideas as long as you think it "hurts" the left.

all the while using leftist tactics. I certainly have no interest in anything Bin Laden had to say in 2003, (and now notice how American teens are praising Bin-Laden speeches!)

I have no interest in listening to the Mullahs in Iran, or Hamas, or Hizbullah, or Xi ShenPing, or Kim Jung Un.

but then that's because I am a patriotic American not interested in enemy propaganda against the United States.

---

Every American President since the outset of the 20th century has been accused of being a "war criminal". Most of us are smart enough to discern the truth. Thus, we are not afraid to hear opposing views regardless of how "horrendous" they may sound. Only someone without a sound, rational basis for their convictions is afraid to hear other people speak. You don't have to watch or listen if you don't believe you cannot discern truth from a lie or good from bad. Those who can defend their beliefs are no less patriotic but in fact more patriotic than someone who does not trust their fellow countrymen with information.

---

I remember when Biden/Nixon/Obama/Bush/Trump started lacing political rivals tea with polonium, or nerve gas, or defenestrated any journalist who said something critical.

I'm not wrong. Our media absolutely does the bidding of the Democrats. They may not be as united and 'forced' into it as Russia - but my point stands that we have a LOT of dishonest people in high places that feed the public pure lies to manipulate perception to benefit certain sides in our govt.
