News of Tucker Carlson's abrupt departure from Fox News had barely broken when at least one Russian state television channel offered him a job. RT is Russia's English language channel that up until their war in Ukraine was shown in 140 countries around the world. It is now banned in the United States and elsewhere which makes Carlson's appearance there highly doubtful.

Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox News sparked a flurry of speculation about where he might land next. Given his prominence and popularity, the host could very likely have his pick of conservative news outlets — or create his own platform.

One global news network has already extended a welcome: the Russian state television channel RT.

In a post on its English language account Monday on Twitter, RT invited Mr. Carlson to “question more” with the network, using one of its slogans. Mr. Carlson’s commentaries have been regularly parroted in Russian state media, including conspiracy theories that reflect Russian views of the world.

George Conway was a bit gobsmacked, although I'm not sure why he would be surprised. After all, after Trump, Tucker Carlson is the American that Russian pundits liked the most, and the one American they do not want to kill.
