- A leaked Kremlin war memo told Russian state media to feature more Tucker Carlson, per Mother Jones.
- The memo cited how the Fox News host “sharply criticizes” the actions of the US in the war in Ukraine.
- On Thursday, an ABC correspondent accused Carlson of parroting Putin lines “almost word for word.”
A leaked 12-page war memo, titled “For Media and Commentators,” told Russian media that it is “essential” to use more Carlson segments in their coverage because of his positions on the war in Ukraine, Mother Jones reported.
Carlson “sharply criticizes” the actions of the United States and NATO and their “negative role in unleashing the conflict in Ukraine,” the memo said, per the media outlet.
He is also critical of the “defiantly provocative behavior from the leadership of the Western countries and NATO towards the Russian Federation and towards President Putin, personally,” the memo continued.
The document was provided to Mother Jones by a Russian state media contributor who asked not to be identified. According to metadata reviewed by the media outlet, it was produced by a Russian government agency called the Department of Information and Telecommunications Support.
