I hate it when "journalists " give you their opinions about a news story instead of just reporting the story and then letting the viewer decide for themselves.

[katfureh]

The system hates it when ppl get to know the other side of the story.

Lol tucker is waaaay better than propagandist from mnsbc

[Hope.Israel.prophetic]

Calling something a conspiracy theory without having done a proper unbiased investigation is the height of manipulative cover up.

[maureen]

If she’s got such a beef about it, why not bring Tucker on the show and let him speak?

[hymnsever]

One small correction. Tucker did use a phrase like "when you invaded Ukraine" in one of his questions.

[donswazy]

Did you watch the entire interview?

It’s definitely worth watching to form your own opinion.

[andrereloaded]

@0:06 It only took Jen 6 seconds to stumble over her words. Good job it's not Putin in front of her.

[theresagomez]

The jealousy is palpable. Maybe if "journalists" did their jobs instead of "reporting" on what other actual journalists have done, they wouldn't be subjected to such abysmal ratings and feedback from the audience they have managed to retain.

[countingfloats]

Why doesn't MSNBC send this woman or anybody else and see what they get out of it when faced by Mr. Putin

[HL-tgsv]

Wow, so insightful. Thank you, Jen. I’m glad you are enjoying your new job and not having to “circle back” from those annoying reporters asking questions in the White House Briefing Room. At least you aren’t “tuckered out” anymore. Even if it wasn’t perfect, we desperately needed what Tucker gave us.

One thing I did learn from Tuckers visit to Russia. No tents with drug addicts(stop calling them homeless). No mobs of people stealing stuff. Everything was clean. How could this be? America used to be clean.

Anyone know how to change wheel bearings on the 2010 Toyota Camry?

[Bern]

Look at who insinuates anyone else is not an "actual journalist." Snark isn't the same as reporting.

[adultsoul]

Love how former white house press secretary for current president pretends to be an unbiased saying Carlson is not a real Journalist lol

[julianciahaconsulting]

When does the MSM ask Zelensky hardball questions or for that matter ask Biden or Pelosi or Harris or Clinton....hard ball questions?

[ingehanson]

You are just jealous that he got millions more viewers than all cable news and regular news channels combined.

[leviashanken]

Not doubting Putin's sincerity does not mean he agrees with it or thinks it's correct; it just means he believes Putin really believes it. So now he's shown us what Putin believes.

[MaxDiamondGroup]

I would love to see Jen Psaki interview her former boss. I guarantee there will not be a question like JHoe: "Is it true you have lost your ability to understand questions that concern Americans?"

[diegoserrano]

a gold rule you learn in kindergarden is you don't talk about people when they are not in the room cause they cannot defend themselves.
