Russia has multiple English language media companies and could release their own Putin stuff. Carlson is going to use his billion dollar trust fund to pay for slick editing, a writing team to make leading questions, and generally make Putin approachable. There is no reason for this except to stop US support against Russia. This is propaganda made and paid for by Tucker Carlson.
Tucker is an aspiring traitor who needs to be investigated.
Good.
No bueno, seems too authoritarian to my liking. Censorship is not good for the people.
Jailing people for talking to other people, even if they are powerful, should not be illegal.
I also think whistle blowers should not be jailed, they should be awarded, especially the journalists!
Breathe, dude. Where does it say “censor”? Nowhere.
And free speech isn’t freedom of consequences.
It also only applies to a government’s influence over its own citizens. Carlson is not a citizen of the EU.
Freedom of Speech does mean freedom from consequences, at least from any government that recognizes that freedom of speech. The phrase, “Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences” refers to the ability of private entities to take negative actions against speakers engaging in free speech, simply because those negative actions were within the private entities’ rights all along. For example, the ability of any Lemmy instance to ban anyone they want.
Regardless, speech that is actively harmful, is false, or meets certain other circumstances (depending on which government you’re looking at) may not be recognized as covered free speech. Tucker Carlson is probably about to do a bunch of speech that is not covered by freedom of speech, which is why the expected sanctions will be justified.
The EU does not have the first amendment.
It’s not that complicated - Carlson is acting as a propaganda tool for Putin, hence he’s sanctioned, which is not censorship.
Censorship is not good for the people.
Oh yes, totally agree. Before this we never heard Putin’s perspective. It’s not like he has a media empire to get his message out.
This isn’t about censorship. This is about lending credence to Putin’s actions.
Nobody gives a shit what you think you crypto fascist fan of fucking scumbags.
What is a crypto fascist?
Someone hiding their fascist beliefs behind things like false concern. They also will keep their beliefs silent while boosting stuff they see as helping them.
You are talking to people from burguerstates. If they disagree with you, you should be silenced. Thats democracy to them
That’s horribad click bait. The EU already announced they aren’t going to sanction him just for doing the interview.
EU does not have the 1st amendment and they blocked pro-palestine protests, so it is good to hear that sanctions will not happen.
I posted a summary of video so as to let you know what the video is about.
Thanks for the info!
And not a single human being will be negatively impacted by such an action.
Just put Carlson on the Terrorist No Fly list. Let him walk home.
No thanks. We don’t want him.
