    What about what about what about.

    Yes, Tucker is a media whore for whomever is slipping singles up his ass. The topic was Russia, but sure, I very much agree that capital is as foreign to me as any foreign government.

    No country openly allows foreign propaganda from hostile countries to be broadcast in their country without restrictions, Russia being among the most extreme in this regard. It's not about fear, it's about not being idiotic.

      Capital is as foreign to you as a foreign government? What do you mean by this? Also foreign propaganda is totally allowed. Once again I'll point you to the Vietnam War, free speech laws meant that totally uncensored footage of the atrocities being committed were broadcast and criticized. The media/military industrial complex tightened the grip extensively in response, but through corporate acquisitions and private soft power not by sanctioning journalists or especially non-journalists. Not being a journalist and being silenced is kind of an even bigger deal.
