    Independent news outlet Astra said that the program features Russian-language dubbing of Carlson’s American shows and is not original content for Russian viewers

      That is… a little different than the headline implies

        It is. But also still, in a way, worse. He’s not creating or molding a show to fit the far-right viewpoint of the current Russian administration. It’s pretty indicative of the negative merit, substance, and viewpoint expressed on his current show that airs on American television if the Russian government under Putin is taking it, as is, and putting it onto their citizen’s tv’s.

          So, I assume Fox is selling this to RTV. The big issue I see is that future shows are made to potentially sell in the future. They first air in America, then get sold to Russia. All written with the end goal of selling to Russia.

            Nah. Right-wing ideology pretty much works the same way no matter who you make it for. It was the same way with the Nat regime here in Apartheid-South Africa loving US-made cop shows - all right-wingers love cop shows (for pretty obvious reasons).

        I still don’t understand how the far right went from “the commies are the source of all evil we must kill them all” to “who care about Russia anyway”

      My Lemmy experience improved by a considerable amount once I blocked that instance, and I have been on here for a good while without blocking any instance. They really need to get their shit together.

    Maybe Mr. Carlson hoped for an open door in Russia, but Russia has open windows too. Many open windows …
