Legacy Media Meltdown Over Putin Interview is Much Worse than Interview Itself
Moreover, it would Only Serve to Make a Martyr out of Putin
I had already said that we should NOT trust former KGB agents invading neighboring countries. I also highly doubt that this person's 'perspective' could bring anything valuable to the West - in the contrary, it would ONLY serve to bring more confusion, division and hate (and already began doing so). Neither Putin's 'perspective' is completely new and unheard by the Western people before (CONTRARY to Tucker's claims!) - we all heard Putin's justifications of his war and his peace conditions since 2022, and nothing much changed here since then. So the point of listening to it? And one has to be a complete fool to believe Putin would actually tell Tucker the truth (for example, his WEF ties and REAL reasons for invading Ukraine), or ANYTHING of a value for that matter.
Also, Putin's perspective is NOT Russian perspective, as it was falsely labeled in the West. Russian perspective is the perspective of RUSSIAN PEOPLE, and this one is indeed STILL largely unheard by the West since the start of Ukrainian war, and it's indeed a great pity since it helps to breed and spread outrageous Russophobic propaganda in the West against innocent Russian people.
So, if Tucker was able to interview random Russian people on the streets and to record their REAL views on the war and on the West, THAT indeed might have proved really VALUABLE, dispelling Western Russophobic propaganda of 'overwhelming majority of Russians supporting Putin and his war' more than completely. But alas, Putin would NEVER have let Tucker interview Russian people, and even if he somehow managed to do it, all Russian people whom he had had interviewed would have been instantly murdered by Putin.
Hence, NO smart person in the West would expect to hear anything new or valuable from Tucker's Putin interview. Thus being said, legacy media reaction to this interview is MUCH WORSE than interview itself. The amounts of vitriol, hatred and paranoia are just overwhelming and highly reminiscent of both Trump Derangement Syndrome and COVID mass formation psychosis. This is certainly very unhealthy and sick. In fact, it reminded me a lot of this moment when Trump while being a President met Putin (who wasn't yet a war criminal!) which he had to do as a President and which Obama before him and Biden after him had also done, and all legacy media exploded in the same such hysterical way. Oh my. They even repeat themselves. Real bots.
Yeah, perhaps Putin is a war criminal now, unlike when Trump met him. And SO WHAT? Is it impossible to interview him then? Professional journalists should be able to interview EVEN Hitler in my view! It's called journalism, you know? If an interview could bring anything valuable to the table, it should be held, even if the person who is been interviewed is Devil himself.
Again, to interview someone does NOT mean to agree with this person, and even LESS SO to support or enable any of this person's actions. Because interview is not propaganda, you know? It's neutral unbiased interview, nothing more, nothing less. Ofc, our Woke legacy media propagandists who perceive news EXACTLY as propaganda, and who are heavily engaged in this propaganda themselves, struggle a lot with understanding of such a concept.
Again, you might disagree with Tucker's decision to interview Putin and to doubt that this interview will bring anything valuable to the table (and you'd be justified in your doubts!) But to accuse Tucker of TREASON and to call to ban and even imprison him simply for doing a good job of a professional journalist, SERIOUSLY? That's utter lunacy.
Also, what do you think would be consequence of this mainstream media psychosis? If ANYTHING, it would cause MORE sympathy to BOTH Tucker and Putin, and MORE curiosity to see this interview! This is what legacy media with their hysterical tantrums would achieve in the end, have no doubt of it.
Again, overall I believe majority of Western people (and especially American ones!) naturally mistrust a former KGB agent invading neighboring countries, despite all controversies and falsehoods of Western and Ukrainian propaganda too. So, majority of Western people would not have been inclined to listen to Putin and even to see an interview with him.
But now, when legacy media had spit so much vitriol on this interview and on a journalist who conducted it, this would naturally change. It would cause more sympathy to unfairly persecuted and demonized out of proportion Tucker and more curiosity to see this interview, and not just see it, but actually LISTEN to Putin! Because what is it in this interview that legacy media so badly DO NOT WANT us to see? We must see it now, most smart people would decide. So, legacy media massive meltdown would only serve as a FREE AD for Putin's interview. Well done, media dummies.
Now, this also raises a very interesting question WHOSE interest really Western mainstream media serve. Western interests? Or maybe Putin's, if they play into his hands so much? Or maybe WEF elite behind them? Either way, Western legacy media do NOT serve interest of Western PEOPLE, and this is especially glaringly obvious now.
