A spokesperson for the Russian government clarified that it has rejected requests to interview Vladimir Putin from reputable media outlets
The Kremlin’s first public response to Tucker Carlson’s announcement that he’s landed an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin was to fact-check the former Fox News host.
On Wednesday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Carlson had indeed interviewed Putin, but took issue with Carlson’s claim that “not a single Western journalist has bothered” to interview Russia’s president throughout the nation’s war with Ukraine, which has raged for more than two years.

Putin’s refusal to sit down with most Western media outlets likely has less to do with accusations of bias so much as an unwillingness to be subjected to legitimate scrutiny of his government. Russia has been accused of committing atrocities and war crimes in its offensive against Ukraine, including the unlawful executions of civilians. Putin’s government is also infamous for its frequent detainment of political rivals and critics, as well as the cloud of mysterious deaths and poisonings of those in his orbit.
Whether Carlson will question Putin on any of these matters remains to be seen. The former Fox News host’s history of granting softball interviews to controversial influencers, political figures, and authoritarian leaders, indicates this is unlikely. Given everything we know about Putin’s propaganda machine, it’s clear that in Carlson, the Russian government sees a safe opportunity to broadcast its carefully crafted messaging to American viewers.
I do listen to people, and most fucking hate latinx. Maybe you are the one with your ears plugged… One latino person does not speak for all latinos. That’s not how race works. That’s not how it has ever worked.
Exactly, one person doesn’t speak for everyone. Ignore people who say “latins don’t like Latinx” because they don’t speak for everyone and it’s a Latin American term anyways. Listen to those around you and you’ll know what to use. We’re in agreement.
Uhhhhh no you are literally not even listening to your own advice…
MOST PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE IT. That is SPECIFICALLY NOT ignoring their opinion on the matter, you brainless worm. Most Mexicans and Spanish people do not like it. Most do not like it. Start fucking LISTENING.
You think because I added more context behind the word Latinx that I’m advocating for it to be the general term for a group of people, right? I was trying to figure out how you got so confused and angry.
Either that or you feel that by not deferring to your expertise on Mexicans and Spanish people, it’s equivalent to not listening to others, which makes me a hypocrite because I’m saying to listen to individuals.
When the vast majority don’t like something you’re pushing on them, it makes you a dick. Stop being a dick.
