Is that the kind of society we want to be? Where a private individual or organization cannot go to another country to interview a world leader?
What happened to freedom of expression and freedom of movement? Are we going to go back to the Iron Curtain? Are we going to totally disconnect so that the only news we ever see is from “approved sources”?
This is a dangerous path to go down.
Tucker Carlson is a con-man, but if our citizens want to watch him - don’t they have the right?
He should.not be platformed. either of them
I don’t like Tucker Carlson or Putin but the idea that Tucker Carlson would be platforming Putin is stupid. He’s the leader of Russia, he is his own platform. He can make a video and every news agency will show it and report on it. He doesn’t need a platform, he just inherently has one
Elaborate on your position. You say he should not be platformed. I think people shouldn’t use hard drugs. However, I also don’t think we should criminalize drug possession or use.
Not the previous user. Perfectly OK for Tucker to visit Putin and to interview him. Not ok for a media outlet to publish the interview. If you want a comparison, fine by me if you ruin your life with Fentanyl. Not ok if you’re selling it.
Ok, maybe drug use was a bad analogy. What I meant to say was abortion…
That was comedy gold and everybody missed it.
People are reactionary creatures. Feel bad for OC
There is a line. Putin may be the closest thing we’ve had to actual Hitler in the modern era, in his actions and his aspirations, but maybe the difference is that he doesn’t have IBM making him efficient and his “opponent” has the early support of a superpower in the US.
Your sentiments are generally true, but there’s a limit, and especially during an open conflict like this. He’s a dictator that has his friends pushed out of Windows when they no longer serve his need. He’s also been caught leading coordinated efforts to taint the results of American elections. You don’t platform this, as an American.
Freedom has limits among adults. You’re not allowed to own a tank and drive it to the grocery store, you can’t manufacture and sell heroin as a private citizen. There are some limits we agree to.
Journalists can do it and private citizens can, he shouldn’t be allowed he’s an entertainer with a very vocal fringe movement behind him supporting a sanctioned war criminal.
