Putin was interviewed in detail by a US journalist for the first time since he started the full-fledged war against Ukraine almost two years ago
And in the next paragraph, he’s a “television personality.” I mean the second one is more accurate, but sloppy reporting and editing nonetheless.
- You don't have to be a good journalist to technically be a journalist
  
  Journalism is a skilled profession that covers things like properly sourcing articles. Something Carlson could never be accused of. He’s a personality and nothing more.
  
  By that logic I'm a neurosurgeon.

Ah yes I have that on my watch list for later. A wild ride of transparent questions and unhinged, unrelated responses.
- It's this weird experience when you laugh at a war criminal who is one of the richest people on the planet. Who tells the absurd unrelated history of Eastern Europe instead of answering questions.
  Even Carlson was weirded out by this. He spread Russian propaganda for years and now this drunk uncle comes along and ruins it all for him.
  Check out Tucker Carlson's face in this one
  
  What?? Does tucker actually make a different face than "perpetually confused"?

Scholz is trying to cover for his own inability to discuss Germany history stretching back more than 80 years.
- Wdym? It's not like the Nazi crimes are a secret or sth.. or unacknowledged within Germany?
  
  Then why were nazi officers placed in charge of NATO? Why did the Vatican and the USA rescue hundreds of Nazi officers and give them secret identities, money, security details, and relocate them all over the world? Why did the USA and NATO create "leave-behind" militias from former Nazi groups and Nazi-aligned groups all over Europe? Can Scholz talk about Operation Paperclip, Operation Gladio, or even just the open history of Nazi officers in NATO?
- You don't know what you are talking about.
