A spokesperson for the Russian government clarified that it has rejected requests to interview Vladimir Putin from reputable media outlets
The Kremlin’s first public response to Tucker Carlson’s announcement that he’s landed an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin was to fact-check the former Fox News host.
On Wednesday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Carlson had indeed interviewed Putin, but took issue with Carlson’s claim that “not a single Western journalist has bothered” to interview Russia’s president throughout the nation’s war with Ukraine, which has raged for more than two years.

Putin’s refusal to sit down with most Western media outlets likely has less to do with accusations of bias so much as an unwillingness to be subjected to legitimate scrutiny of his government. Russia has been accused of committing atrocities and war crimes in its offensive against Ukraine, including the unlawful executions of civilians. Putin’s government is also infamous for its frequent detainment of political rivals and critics, as well as the cloud of mysterious deaths and poisonings of those in his orbit.
Whether Carlson will question Putin on any of these matters remains to be seen. The former Fox News host’s history of granting softball interviews to controversial influencers, political figures, and authoritarian leaders, indicates this is unlikely. Given everything we know about Putin’s propaganda machine, it’s clear that in Carlson, the Russian government sees a safe opportunity to broadcast its carefully crafted messaging to American viewers.
Latino here. 93% of us polled either dislike, find stupid, or are not interested in the English language usage of the word “Latinx.” It’s use is a misunderstanding of the basic functional parts of the Spanish language.
Its usage presumes some sort of malicious gendering of words, however most languages, and in particular, Latin based languages like Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese, all use gendering.
Wait — you don’t like to be told by a bunch of entitled assholes what to call yourself?

All of it is silly. None of you speak Latin
Your mistake here is confounding the name of a language with the name of a culture.
Aside from Spanish and Portuguese language influences, what makes Central and South American cultures Latin?
I thought Latinx was part of a movement that would explicitly remove gendering of words from languages like Spanish, French, and German. I thinks it’s by design, but unpopular
Well if they’re going to do it by replacing everything with x, they’re going to have to talk to Elon…
I’ve also heard “Latine” used, how is that one doing in hispanic culture? I’m hispanic myself, but have lived mostly separate from the culture, so I’m unfamiliar if the terms get used or not.
That’s a different thing altogether. Its origins are in Spanish and attempt to do the same as “they/them” and is a attempt to be inclusive of gender fluidity.
Latinx is an entitled American white invention.
I love how responses to this change from “ask someone from Latin America” to “you dont know as much as I do” when you don’t back them up.
They go from revering you until you appear, to discounting your experience when you do.
