Leaked Kremlin memo urges Russian state media
to promote 'essential' Tucker Carlson:

According to a report from Mother Jones editor
David Corn, a leaked memo from a Russian government division called the Department of Information and __
Telecommunications Support is urging state media personalities and producers to hype up comments made by Fox News host
Tucker Carlson.

According to Corn's reporting, Carlson's commentaries are considered "essential" to Russia's needs.

Writing he was given the memo from a "contributor to a national Russian media outlet who asked not to be identified," claimed it is not the only memo of its type.

The memo states:
"It is essential to use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who sharply criticizes the actions of the United States [and] NATO, their negative role in unleashing the conflict in Ukraine, [and] the defiantly provocative behavior from the leadership of the Western countries and NATO towards the Russian Federation and towards President Putin, personally."

The report adds that mention of Carlson comes up after instructions for state media personalities to promote narratives explaining that "The Russian invasion is 'preventing the possibility of nuclear strikes on its territory';

Ukraine has a history of nationalism (that presumably threatens Russia); the Russian military operation is proceeding as planned; Putin is protecting all Russians;
the 'losing' Ukrainian army is shelling residential areas of eastern Ukraine controlled by Russia; foreign mercenaries are arriving in Ukraine;

Europe 'is facing more and more problems' because
of its own sanctions; and there will be 'danger and possible
legal consequences for those in Russia who protest the war."

The March 3 document opens with top-line themes the Kremlin wanted Russian media to spread:

The Russian invasion is “preventing the possibility
of nuclear strikes on its territory”;
Ukraine has a history of nationalism (that presumably threatens Russia); the Russian military operation is proceeding as planned;

Putin is protecting all Russians;
the “losing” Ukrainian army is shelling residential areas of eastern Ukraine controlled by Russia;
foreign mercenaries are arriving in Ukraine;
Europe “is facing more and more problems” because of its own sanctions;
and there will be “danger and possible legal consequences” for those in Russia who protest the war.

The document notes that it is “necessary to continue quoting” Putin.
It claims that the “hysteria of the West had reached the inexplicable level” of people calling for killing dogs and cats from Russia and asks,
“Today they call for the killing of animals from Russia. Tomorrow, will they call for killing people from Russia?”

A section headlined “Victory in Information War”

Tells Russian journalists to push these specific points:
The Ukrainian military is beginning to collapse;
the Kyiv government is guilty of “war crimes”;
and Moscow is the target of a “massive Western anti-Russian propaganda” operation.

It states that Russian media should raise questions about Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s state of mind and suggest he is not truly in charge of Ukraine.

And it encourages these outlets to “broadcast messages” highlighting the law recently passed by
the Russia Duma that makes it a crime to impede
the war effort or disseminate what the government deems “false” information about the war, punishable for up to 15 years in prison.

This portion instructs Russian journalists to emphasize that these penalties apply to anyone who promotes news about Ukrainian military victories or Russian attacks on civilian targets.

This is the section of the memo that calls on Russian media to make as much use as possible of Tucker Carlson’s broadcasts.
No other Western journalist is referenced in the memo.

Prior to the Russian invasion, Carlson was perhaps the most prominent American voice challenging opposition to Putin. In one now-infamous commentary, he said__
“Why do Democrats want you to hate Putin?
Has Putin shipped every middle class job in your town to Russia? Did he manufacture a worldwide pandemic that wrecked your business? Is he teaching your kids to embrace racial discrimination? Is he making fentanyl? Does he eat dogs?”

Carlson repeatedly noted there was no reason for
the United States to assist Ukraine in its battle with Russia and insisted it was “not treason, it is not un-American” to support Putin.
He contended that Ukraine was not “a democracy” but a “client state” of the US government.

More recently, Carlson mouthed Russian disinformation, and he did so as a new set of Kremlin talking points once again pushed Russian journalists to cite the Fox host.

On Wednesday, Carlson claimed that the “Russian disinformation they’ve been telling us for days is a lie and a conspiracy theory and crazy and immoral to believe is, in fact, totally and completely true.”

He was referring to the Russian allegation that the United States had set up biowarfare labs in Ukraine. But this charge was far from proven.

At a congressional hearing, Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland had testified that Ukraine possessed biological research facilities and that the US government was worried about “research materials” falling into the hands of Russian forces.

This was a far cry from substantiating the Russian charge that Washington was working on bioweapons in Ukraine.
But Putin’s regime jumped on the Nuland testimony and cited it as proof of nefarious American activity. Carlson echoed this Russian propaganda.

A March 10 “recommendations for coverage”
memo from the same Russian agency highlights
this bioweapons allegation as a top talking point for Russian media, noting the message should be that the “activities of military biological laboratories with American participation on the territory of Ukraine carried global threats to Russia and Europe.”

The document goes further, encouraging its recipients to allege that the “the United States
is working on a ‘biogenocide of the Eastern Slavs.'”

The memo lays out the details of this bizarre conspiracy theory: The United States was conducting “experiments with genetic material collected on the territory of Ukraine,” with the “main objective” being “to create unique strains of various kinds of viruses for targeted destruction of the population in Russia.”

The United States even had a plan to transmit pathogens “by wild birds migrating between Ukraine, Russia and other neighboring countries.”
This scheme included “studying the possibility of carrying African swine fever and anthrax.”

The memo claims “biolaboratories set up and funded in Ukraine have been experimenting with bat coronavirus samples.”
It cites Nuland’s testimony and says the United States was involved with “military biological laboratories”
in Ukraine that “potentially posed a global threat to
all of Europe.”

'You’re an ally':
Vindman shames Tucker Carlson over Russian plan to promote him on state TV.

The hashtag TuckyoRose was trending on Sunday as Tucker Carlson became the target of mockery and attacks after it was revealed he was pushed by Russia as part of their propaganda efforts.
Mother Jones revealed a leaked memo from the Russian Department of Information and Telecommunications Support that was ordering state media personalities and producers to promote comments made by the Fox host.

TuckyoRose is a take-off of Tokyo Rose, the name given to World War II women delivering pro-Japanese propaganda in English to allied soldiers in the South Pacific.

As retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman explained that no one should live their lives as a state TV shill for Russia.

On Saturday, Carlson's show also began appearing on Chinese Communist Party television promoting Ukraine conspiracy theories. On Friday, Carlson's show aired propaganda from Chinese and Russian leaders.

Ukraine update:
Kremlin tells Russian media it is 'essential' to broadcast Tucker Carlson clips

The part of the memo that stands out, however, is the Putin government's urging that state-friendly media feature broadcast clips from Fox News talking head Tucker Carlson "as much as possible."

"It is essential to use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who sharply criticizes the actions of the United States [and] NATO, their negative role in unleashing the conflict in Ukraine, [and] the defiantly provocative behavior from the leadership of the Western countries and NATO towards the Russian Federation and towards President Putin, personally."

It appears Carlson has some high-profile fans in the Kremlin, and that's hardly a surprise. Carlson, who has continually pushed far-right, white nationalist, autocratic, and fascist themes and guests in front of his conservative viewers has been one of the conservative hosts most reluctant to backtrack from his previous praise for both Putin and Russia's violence-reliant nationalism.

Carlson has even traveled to Europe to highlight authoritarian and protofascist leaders there as examples for U.S. conservatives to follow;

While some other Republicans may have voiced past support for Putin's government largely so as to not fall out of favor with Donald Trump, who has expressed admiration for multiple of the world's most murderous strongmen, Carlson's Russia support has been more expressly premised on his show's own nationalist advocacy.

Tucker has been the Fox Host most willing to sneer
at the premise of democracy as means of governance, and the host most willing to boost far-right nationalist movements dedicated to doing away with it.
