Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin could be released as early as today and has already stirred up a firestorm of criticism from traditional media.
Carlson posted this four-minute video on X explaining why he was interviewing Putin, saying Americans deserved to hear all sides, whether they liked Putin or not.
The post has racked up over 90 million views, and the X app has rocketed to No. 1 in the App Store charts as people download it in anticipation of the interview.
Several major news organizations noted they had requested interviews with Putin as well but have been turned down. Russian officials said they felt Carlson was much less biased.
