Except that everybody is talking about it, which is a success for both Putin and Carlson already.
I don't know how it helps Putin for people to simply know he was interviewed. He can't get his propaganda out unless they watch the interview.
I think it's very likely all the media attention will translate to a whole lot of views. People will think it's a rare chance to "hear what Putin has to say about the situation", as if his propaganda hasn't been on Russian television 24/7 for years now.
Yeah, but in order to do that, they have to pay to join Tucker's streaming platform. And that is the thing which makes me think not too many people will watch it.
Not many, but way more than otherwise would have. And the rest will read about it somewhere else, spreading Putin's propaganda independently of the stupidity of the platform.
Or maybe it'll just expose Tucker as the complete hack that he is once and for all. But I kind of doubt those who haven't seen it already can ever be convinced.
