It’s a free country. Everyone, including Tucker Carlson, has a right to their opinion. But when you have somebody with a mass following on cable news and social media working every night to convince Americans that one of our chief adversaries in the world is actually in the right, no it is dangerous and stupid. And it raises questions about the people who run Fox News and why they want to provide a platform for this propaganda.
Most Republicans in Congress, for now, agree that we should be siding with Ukraine and that what Putin is doing is wrong. But they seem a bit in denial about what’s bubbling up from the base of the party, encouraged by people like Tucker Carlson, and to some extent the former president.” So, we all know, if Trump says support Russia the Republican Congress will do as he says.
While Russian disinformation campaigns have often relied on bots or inauthentic activity on social media, they’re also relying on prominent narrators, like Carlson, much more as social media companies work to tamp down misinformation. Russia is very good at laundering information into vulnerable societies that are going to amplify it and using Local amplifiers, like the host at Fox News, who are trusted are the key to their campaigns now.
So, why is The Fox Network supporting Russia? Because, they are part of the Russian Propaganda Network.
