The controversial right-wing presenter Tucker Carlson says he is already in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin. He is unlikely to ask the Russian president any critical questions.
Fired for spreading conspiracy theories
The right-wing talk show host, known for spreading conspiracy theories, said it was his job to inform people. Most Americans are uninformed because no one tells them the truth and the media is corrupt.
Carlson was fired from Fox News last year, with no reasons given for his firing at the time. The talk show host hosted a high-ratings evening show there for years. He used this to spread conspiracy theories and false reports and to agitate against minorities. Shortly afterwards he started his own show on X.
