Putin was interviewed in detail by a US journalist for the first time since he started the full-fledged war against Ukraine almost two years ago

And in the next paragraph, he’s a “television personality.” I mean the second one is more accurate, but sloppy reporting and editing nonetheless.

You don't have to be a good journalist to technically be a journalist

[-] d00phy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Journalism is a skilled profession that covers things like properly sourcing articles. Something Carlson could never be accused of. He’s a personality and nothing more.

By that logic I'm a neurosurgeon.

Well other than the fact that you haven't (presumably) done any neurosurgery

I've concussed at least three people over the years.

Scholz is trying to cover for his own inability to discuss Germany history stretching back more than 80 years.

Wdym? It's not like the Nazi crimes are a secret or sth.. or unacknowledged within Germany?

[-] Downcount@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

You don't know what you are talking about.

[-] naturalgasbad@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

You're arguing the current German administration isn't supporting the genocide in Gaza? Genocide is a part of the German identity.

This is so ignorantly reductionist

They sided with isntreal in the court and sent a ship to help recently if im not mistaken

[-] naturalgasbad@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

So your claim is that Germany is actually in support of Palestinians? Odd, that.

[-] stratosfear@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 1 year ago

You do realize that Putin invading Ukraine and Israel invading Palestine are two completely separate events and topics, right? If you're trying to draw imperial correlations regarding separate world events maybe you should, I dunno, be a little more articulate.

[-] naturalgasbad@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

So your claim is that Germany isn't supporting Israel, and that Israel isn't conducting a genocide?

Ah yes I have that on my watch list for later. A wild ride of transparent questions and unhinged, unrelated responses.

It's this weird experience when you laugh at a war criminal who is one of the richest people on the planet. Who tells the absurd unrelated history of Eastern Europe instead of answering questions.

Even Carlson was weirded out by this. He spread Russian propaganda for years and now this drunk uncle comes along and ruins it all for him.

Check out Tucker Carlson's face in this one
