The former Fox News anchor is presenting the program Tucker on the rolling news channel Russia 24, with the first episode now available online, Russian state newspaper Rossiskya Gazyeta reported.
The paper said that the show is part of a joint project with Carlson TV, in which he will interview figures and politicians who have "alternative views to the mainstream."
WTF?
UPDATE: Does Newsweek have some 'splaining to do? Seems so:
The Tucker Carlson Network has not done any deals with state media in any country. Whoever is currently pretending to be the old Newsweek brand would know that if they had checked with us before printing like news companies are supposed to do. https://t.co/xbukz58F88

Oof ... they didn't even bother to check with Tucker's team before publishing the scoop? That's pretty bad, so shame on them if so. And now we have another data point on Newsweek's credibility, so I will keep that in mind on future "scoops."
