Something very funny afoot with Tucker Carlson gaining access to Putin. 

Journalism in Russia is incredibly tightly controlled and if the state doesn’t like what you say, you will be harassed. 

Most journalists wouldn’t be allowed in the country. 

As someone who’s tried to do journalism in countries with state run and state controlled media, I’m struck by how he’s announcing he’s not only announcing his visit but promoting “the truth” he will uncover in the intervew. 

Those who do try to tell the truth about what’s going on from Russia, (even nice truths) get thrown out. 

Look at the very popular YouTuber “bald and bankrupt” as an example. 

After a series of human, real and genuine vlogs around Russia, he ended up in prison and was then turfed out of the country. 

Do you think we’ll get a real encounter? Will we get the truth?
