Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News after interviewing Vladimir Putin

Tucker Carlson was abruptly fired from his primetime Fox News show in April last year. Now, Carlson has become the first Western journalist to interview Vladimir Putin since Russia invaded Ukraine. His ratings broke records, but his ratings were up by far higher than those of the past.

Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik says Tucker Carlson interview will be 'painful' for Ukraine. Says only reason for interview is to ‘push propaganda’ by allowing it to take place. Tucker Carlson has already interviewed the Russian President, with sit-down set to be released later today.
