Why am I not surprised?

Russia is conducting extensive and intense propaganda to try to keep as many Russians in the dark as possible.

For example , while people in the conquered cities tell Russian troops "go away"
" go home"
and refuse the food handout... back in Russia TV news shows fake scenes of residents accepting food handouts peacefully, using actors pretending to be Ukrainians.

Trump chose Paul Manafort to be his campaign director. Manafort previously worked for a pro-Russian political campaign in Ukraine.

Tucker Carlson also praised the Russians. The Russians try to break up NATO and reassemble the totalitarian Soviet Union. Before invading Ukraine Putin asked NATO to leave Eastern Europe as one of his conditions for peace. A Russian recently asked Turkey to leave NATO. Putin’s campaign is to divide and conquer.

And don’t get me started on Tulsi Gabbard…..

“It is essential to use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson”

That says it all right there.

Yes, Mr. Carlson is a Kremlin asset.

Yes, Mr. Carlson is a Kremlin asset.

When taken out of context, you could be, too.

What is the missing context? Genuine inquiry.

I don’t know. But this is telling.

“fragments”

Could it be Russia has other broadcasting to run? Maybe they should let Новости лисы run in its entirety so as to avoid the appearance of misquoting their top anchor and his Putin sympathizer guests.

That doesn't mean that he was taken out of context. He could be. But that would need to be demonstrated by comparing what is being broadcast on Russian television and his broadcasts on Fox here. Wouldn't it?

And if Tucker Carlson's messaging here, in full context, has been pro-Putin--then does it really even matter? If Carlson's talking points benefit the Kremlin (even in context), then the broadcasting of "fragments" from his show doesn't take them out of context, but are accurate to the context.

I'm not arguing that's the case, merely presenting a counter-point. Neither of us is working with evidence, and both of us are working on what-ifs.

So the only way to really answer this is, as I said, to compare said fragments with the fuller context of the broadcasts. Agreed?

Saw that just a few minutes ago. Not surprising. Maybe Little Lord Swanson-Meals can become the new Lord Haw-Haw!

They aren’t doing that, though, are they.
