Originally Published 1 year ago — by BBC.com

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson's visit to Moscow has garnered extensive coverage in Russian state media, sparking speculation about a potential interview with President Vladimir Putin. Carlson, known for his defense of Putin, abruptly left Fox News last year and has since launched a show on X. Russian media has been closely following his visit, with Kremlin-controlled television using his critical outbursts against US foreign policy to bolster their own narratives. While Carlson has not spoken directly to Russian TV channels, his visit has been widely celebrated, with some comparing it to actress Jane Fonda's visit to Vietnam in 1972.

Russian State Media Targets Prigozhin Amid Wagner Group Controversy

Originally Published 2 years ago — by BBC

Russian state-controlled TV has launched a campaign to discredit Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, showing images of his opulent home and highlighting his criminal past. The state media machine's reporting on Prigozhin has been unusually prolific and personal, revealing damaging details about his biography. Previously, Russian TV portrayed a positive image of the Wagner mercenary group, but now they are focusing on Prigozhin's alleged greed and criminal background. The footage shown includes piles of cash, weapons, opulent interiors, and fake passports. State TV also suggested that Prigozhin may be linked to Western intelligence and accused him of being driven by greed.
