Carlson's Putin Interview Criticized for Ignoring Human Rights Abuses and Praising State Propaganda
- Carlson interviewed Putin for 2 hours but didn't ask about imprisoned/murdered opponents or Putin's war crimes
- Carlson praised Moscow's metro system as superior to the U.S. and ignored its association with Stalin
- The metro segment implies Putin's regime is justified by clean subways, despite human rights abuses
- Carlson echoes 1930s fascists praising Mussolini for "making the trains run on time"
- The pristine metro may be a "Potemkin village" obscuring Russians' fear of criticizing Putin
