Moscow (Russia) – In a not so surprising move, the Russian State Television has announced that Tucker Carlson, a former host at a lesser-known news network, has been invited by Vladimir Putin to run their programming. Sources say that Putin was impressed by Carlson’s unique ability to twist the truth and lie to his viewers with a straight face.
“Mr. Carlson has shown us time and time again that he has the skills and experience necessary to lead our state media,” said Putin in a statement. “We believe that his talent for spreading misinformation and propaganda will be a valuable asset to our team.”
Carlson, who is known for his controversial views and outlandish opinions, is said to be thrilled at the opportunity. “I’m honored to be invited to work for the Russian State Television,” he said in a press conference. “I’ve always admired the way they handle the news and I can’t wait to bring my own unique brand of reporting to their viewers.”
Critics have raised concerns about the implications of having a foreign national run the state television in Russia, but Putin has dismissed their worries. “We trust Mr. Carlson to be a fair and unbiased reporter,” he said. “Plus, we’re confident that he can teach us a thing or two about fake news.”
The announcement has sparked controversy and ridicule on social media, with many users wondering if this is a sign of Russia’s declining standards for journalism. However, supporters of Carlson have praised the move, calling it a victory for free speech and independent media.
Only time will tell if Carlson’s tenure at the Russian State Television will be a success or a disaster, but one thing is for certain: the world will be watching with bated breath.
