Russian State TV Appears To Offer Tucker Carlson A Job

Tucker Carlson may be out of a job at Fox News, but Russian state media seems to have an eye on him.
Fox said Monday the company was parting ways with its star prime-time host after 14 years, an announcement that came as a shock to media observers who had watched Carlson rack up ratings by delivering frequently bigoted monologues to a conservative audience. The cable news network, embroiled in several very pricey lawsuits, did not give a reason for its decision.

The Russian state media network RT tried to grab Carlson’s attention over Twitter, writing: “Hey @TuckerCarlson, you can always question more with @RT_com.” An earlier tweet from RT had framed the departure as Carlson’s decision.

(Notably, Twitter does not label RT as a “state-affiliated media” organization, despite it being one. Twitter CEO Elon Musk sparked outrage earlier this month when he labeled the U. S. news outlet NPR as “state-affiliated media,” even though NPR receives less than 1% of its funding from the federal government.)

Russian TV host Vladimir Solovyov, an influential state propagandist, also reportedly signaled keen interest.

According to Politico, Solovyov expressed sympathy for Carlson in a message on Telegram, telling him “the United States mainstream media has lost its last remaining voice of reason.”
