How Russia is Using Tucker Carlson in its Propaganda

Clips of Fox News' Tucker Carlson have become a regular feature of Russian state TV, which portrays the television host as being pro-Russia and able to influence America's opinion of the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian diplomat Olexander Scherba was critical on Friday evening in comments on MeidasTouch, which describes itself as aiming to protect American democracy and defeat Trumpism. "They've been broadcasting Russian talking points, lies and disinformation," the interviewer said. "What would you say to them and the companies that allow them to broadcast their messages?" "Shame on you," Scherba said. "Shame on you Tucker Carlson. I mean, when you say, 'Why should we support Ukraine and not Russia,' just—what's wrong with your moral compass? What's wrong with your soul?" "There is something seriously wrong with this guy," Scherba continued. "There is something seriously wrong with Fox News if they give him the air [time]."
