Cronkite was a stooge mouthpiece for the DS/MiC, not a “truth teller” by any means…..

You seem to have forgotten Adolf Hitler gracing the cover of Time Magazine as Man of the Year.

MSM is comprised of ordinary people with ordinary (or less) intelligence. Their opinions are worthless puerility & complete waste of time - it's all Bernaysian public relations BS for child minded adults.

Walter Duranty of The NY Times got a Pulitzer Prize for writing Soviet propaganda that hid the true story of the genocide of the Bolshevik Revolution and who actually was financing it. Gareth Jones who who actually walked through the Ukrainian countryside wrote the truth about what was really happening and instead of getting a Pulitzer Prize he was demeaned and ridiculed. Some of the interviews you referenced in your article such as what Assad or Hussein were doing in their countries were likely more akin to the propaganda that Duranty put out and got awarded for, than the actual truth that Gareth Jones was punished for publishing.

Well let’s give this some thought . Putin and company were behind the destruction of Grozny and the suppression of Chechnya. He then found it convenient to then turn that territory over to a repressive murderous war lord. Putin effectively betrayed Armenia. He has invaded Ukraine twice.You don’t have to believe Zelenskyy is entitled to carte blanche to recognize that there is no excuse for that. He has supported the destabilization of Moldova. He has invaded Georgia. Now after the Chechen war , who was really behind the terrorist bombings in Russia?As previously mentioned who arranged for the Litvenko poisoning? Why is Navalny in jail? Who suppressed Memorial?Zelensky doesn’t even begin to compare.

Judge not let you be judged with the same kind of judgement you judge others with. Another fitting saying might be take the log our of our own eyes before worrying about the spec in someone else's. I bring that up because of the great genocides the West either supported or were complicit by their silence. How many regime change wars did the West engage in since 2000? How many has Putin's Russia engaged in during that time? How many millions of lives have been destroyed since 2000 in the West's regime change war mongering?

Because he was a CIA backed operative; a traitor to his country.

Who among us is “good”? And what do you know firsthand that allows you to condemn Putin as bad? I respect Putin for leading his country, understanding its history, and for his willingness to defend it! Not supporting his every act, but he told the truth about things that mattered, namely, the integrity of the Russian federations borders. And that’s more than our current puddinghead “leader” is willing to do.

1. Putin came up through the ranks of the KGB.

2. I'm old enough to remember the killing of Alexander Litvinenko.

Your point is entirely valid. And communism, with its organs and tentacles, is a scourge.

What data do you have to prove that Putin is a communist? He might be, but I would like to see the data that supports your statement. Yes communism is a scourge and it has come home to roost right here in the West.

Do you remember the millions of innocent citizens in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya that have died, been maimed or lost loved ones because our our regime change wars. You reference Litvenenko. What about the thousands of Yazidis? What about the children we killed with our drones?

I detest Putin. But I’d love to know how Tucker Carlson can be considered a traitor for interviewing the head of a country that we have we aren’t at war with and have diplomatic relations with

And now we know the truth about Navalny; that he was bought out by the CIA and of course paid for it. Consequences.
