Fox News Turns Putin Every Which Way But Loose

 


It's so weird that Fox News wants to launder Trump's profound weakness with respects to Russia and his insult towards Ukraine by extorting its leader by having on Lindsey Graham to do basically the kind of Democratic-president-shafting he's previously performed against Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama alike but wait! It's not weird at all! Fox News is always about laundering Republicans and smearing Democrats. So that makes Sen. Graham's Bartiromo spot just...a day ending in y? There's no obvious reason to think current President Biden doesn't want Ukraine to win over Russia--

Or at least, he doesn't seem to want Russia to win as obviously as Fox News host Tucker Carlson obviously has.  After all, Carlson has explicitly stated he wants Putin to win, and has asked his viewers to seriously ask themselves what Putin ever did to them. 

The obvious love Carlson has shown for Putin is apparently reciprocated in Russian state media.  They adore that Tucker Carlson, because he demonstrates that the US is not of entirely one mid about the cause of democracy around the world and freedom everywhere. He also, by repeating Russian propaganda, shows that their put-up jobs are working. He validates them. 

So when he perpetuates an easily-debunked lie about US/Ukraine biolabs, which is repeated by Carlson's frequent guest Tulsi Gabbard, it should be obvious that the undermining of Ukraine is coming from inside the Fox News house, right? 

Well, maybe not. Not when you consider that Fox News is high on it's own supply, where by "supply" one means the near-endless vapors of hallucinogenic gases from the fever swamps of the right wing, where every man is a "source" of fascinating "people are saying" rumors. Do they even care what the provenance of the lies are, or what the impact of them could be?

Ha. Of course they don't. They are not paid for that sort of ethics in news journalism funny-business. So out of one side of Maria Bartiromo's fishy mouth, it's a darn shame Biden isn't harder on Putin, but out of Tucker Carlson's gormless gob, a rationale for aggression against Ukraine certainly exists. And either way, it's the Biden Administration's fault. 

See, Putin is obviously a genocidal maniac, and what he is doing is objectively horrific, but if the objective is making Biden look bad, they will certainly adjust, so they haven't turned him loose yet. 

Have I ever mentioned how much I can't stand these SOB's?

It is hard to listen to Tucker Carlson and not get to feeling that this is a pure pedigreed America-hater. And if he likes what Mr. Putin's got going on over there in Russia (while a lot of sensible people in Russia are trying to get out to free countries because they understand full well the batshit has hit the fan) then Carlson can go ahead and pack his shit and git. He can go and enjoy all the freedom Edward Snowden has got.

If he's more invested in overturning the government of the country he was born in than the seeing Putin's genocidal kleptocracy die? He is not fit to live here and that goes for the people who agree with him.
