The American had touted his sit-down with Putin as a triumph for free speech, asserting that he was heading where no Western news outlets dared to tread.

its amazing that carlson points out his own purpose here is not 'news'.

Amusingly, even the russian government corrected him on that too - to paraphrase, "we have lots of requests to interview Putin, he just doesn't want to do it"

“we have lots of requests to interview Putin, he just doesn’t want to do it”

Because they're actual journalists who would ask serious questions.

The even more amazing part is that the Kremlin debunked him. They said they constantly get interview requests from journalists. They just never accept them.

Edit: Just saw this posted as a response already.
