Tucker and Trump will be Putin's last defenders, loyal to the last even when he's deposed in Russia. Whatever the motivation may be for their devotion, it must be overwhelming. The question is why Fox still platforms this pro-Russian disinformation.

Tucker Carlson used to merely echo Putin's propaganda. Now he has surpassed it in sycophancy, with bizarre claims about Ukrainian defeat that even Moscow's TV1 wouldn't make. Why is Fox News throwing any remaining credibility with this idiot?

When you see the most insane 
propaganda on one of the highest-rated TV shows on Fox-News, it blows your mind.
Tucker Carlson just stopped pretending and became a Russian propagandist.
And we made a video about it…

Leave it to Gateway Pundit to completely gloss over the fact that Lindell financed a feature length “documentary” on the crimes Tina Peters committed, spent 4 months hyping it, and then premiered it during his 48 hour “Moment of Truth” summit.

You'll notice Fox lamented that "the two brothers have raked in nearly $50K" since they were hired last December.
That's paltry. What exactly would Fox prefer they do instead? Stay unemployed? Die of starvation?

"It was bad enough to excuse Putin before February 24 on the risible grounds that he represented some sort of Christian champion and scourge of wokeness. But after?"
Good piece taking America's "conservative" Putin apologists to task.

This just isn't true. Where Dems meddling made the most difference was NH-02. Like MI-03, it saw ads that did explicitly portray the Republican as a nut. That GOP voters perceive things so differently from the rest of the electorate is a GOP problem
Quote Tweet
Having had these conversations now about 1000x, I'm pretty sure the people defending these tactics haven't seen any of the ads. This is a huge part of the problem: They aren't depicting these candidates as lunatics. 1/ twitter.com/stevemorris__/…

If you want to know how freaked out conservatives are about Lindsey Graham's abortion ban backfiring on them, this is a good example.
(Or check out Fox News, which has all but ignored it since yesterday afternoon.)

What's going on here? A clue from Bret Baier: "I'm sure Democrats would like to talk about Sen. Graham's abortion bill nationwide after 15 weeks, and that's what Chuck Schumer did today. Notice that Mitch McConnell talked about inflation and how it affects families at home.”
