Well, to me, this is a wait-and-see deal, try not to get ahead of our skis, it seems the anti-Carlson folks are more upset at him over TDS (relationship with) so they use this (dictator & traitor, interview) as a tool to make a political point, but... as I look back I can't see where the left has ever been upset until now about interview dictators.
Let's start with that liberal rag Time Magazine which interviewed Hilter and put him on the cover in 1938 as Man of the Year.
Fidel Castro by Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer.
Moammar Gadhafi, Larry King, and Barbara Walters
Moiseyev, Mikhail Gorbachev, interviews... Mike Wallace, William J. Crowe Jr., Mikhail
Nikita Khrushchev 1957 "Face the Nation"'s biggest and most controversial scoop.
Pol Pot interview everyone on the left thought was great, by Nate Thayer & New York Slime picked up by all the liberal news outlets, even NPR carried the story.
Xe Xi Jinping Simone McCarthy CNN This guy killed more people than the plague.
Believe me, I could go on, so what do all these reporters and interviewers have in common, liberal left, so... let's just wait and see what Carlson does and reports, if he steps in "S" I'll be the first to say it.
Just my 0.2 as a free American. Cheers
