Pah. Australia doesn't exist.

Oh no, we Laustralia? But what about the cute platypusses?

And drop bears.

Komrade Karlson appears to be going mainstream alongside the Russian language version youtube channel of his output that has been running for the last 5 years apparently (Karlson TV and it has over 1 million subscribers FFS)

Russian TV teases launch of Tucker Carlson show (BBC)

I'm guessing this won't seem nearly as bizarre to those who didn't spend the first half of their lives living with the cold war, but then again most of his target US demographic must remember it. (MAGA being insane is bad enough, but at least they should have the decency to be CONSISTANTLY insane).

Komrade Karlson now in Moscow, presumably to pick up his Order of Lenin: Kremlin quiet as Tucker Carlson Russia visit creates Putin interview rumours

I heard a report on a translated Russian report about his visit that mentioned he charged his phone in a usb slot and connected to free wifi. They included that info, as if it was a report to the FSB that aired by mistake.

He must have been picking up further orders then.

There is the possibly he might in some way be insufficiently loyal leading to another of those balcony incidents. Were that to happen I don't think anything of value would be lost personally.

And he's already had a lie corrected by, of all things, the Kremlin. He said only he bothered to try and interview Vlad the Invader. They said CNN and the BBC had repeatedly sought interviews and were denied.

Of course they were denied. They'd have asked actual and potentially probing questions.

I sure hope so.
