“Totally false”
Newsweek has repeated a completely false claim that Tucker Carlson has launched a show on a state-controlled Russian television channel.
Citing a state owned Russian newspaper, Newsweek suggested that Carlson is creating content for the Russia 24 channel.

No, Tucker Carlson did not launch a show on Russian TV. This is flagrantly dishonest reporting. Russian media is just ripping his content from 𝕏 and dubbing it. It’s called content piracy. Newsweek should issue an immediate correction and apology. pic.twitter.com/SaucrOD8NP

Leftists immediately swallowed the story whole and charged that Carlson is “quite literally, a mouthpiece of the Russian state.”
Tucker Carlson’s show will be carried on Russian state TV.
He is now, quite literally, a mouthpiece of the Russian state.
To those who thought we were exaggerating—you were wrong.

Neocon Bill Kristol tweeted that Carlson “has now embraced his master,” referring to Vladimir Putin, before deleting the post when it became clear the entire story was horse shit.
Carlson himself remarked, “It’s all fake obviously, like most stories in American news media. Of course I have no partnership with Russia. The first I’d heard anything about this was (this) morning.”
