Details: Carlson said he had been preparing for the interview with Putin for several months.
The former TV presenter said that it would be posted on his website. He also noted that Elon Musk had promised not to block this interview with Putin on X (Twitter).
Useful idiot
He’s not an idiot. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
Someone can knowingly be an idiot.
He doesn’t know he’s useless though.
His history is really interesting. He wasn’t always a raging republican. He realized it worked and got views though, so here we are. I’d highly reccommend watching Some More News’ video on the guy, it’s interesting and kinda funny in all of the depressing ways.
A lot of these extreme “center” (ahem) media personalities are simply doing it for views. Boggles my noggin.
I have this Mandela-effect thing where I am certain I remember him being on The Daily Show ages ago, and not as a raging republican. At one point I thought I might have him confused with Mo Rocca. In any case, I have found no evidence that he was, I think I have just badly misremembered.
Is it possible you’re thinking of that time Jon Stewart was on Tucker Carlson’s show, rather than vice versa?
No that’s way WAY too recent. I’m talking 90s or very early 00s.
To be clear, I have made peace with the fact that this is a false memory, but it persists nonetheless. 😀
I mean, he went onto Carlson’s show in 2004 so that fits the timeline.
He can be an idiot and still be self aware
Useful how?
Useful to Putin. Not the rest of the world.
Why do you say he’s an idiot?
Probably because of all the things he says and does
You can tell by the way he is.
Something like that

Whatever the commenter deems it’s definition, I would like to hear why they said he’s an idiot
They said that he was a “useful idiot” which has a specific meaning.

Thank you. That would make the most sense. Would still be nice to hear the commentor’s reasons
