Wall Street Journal editor says it's 'hugely reassuring' Blinken spoke to Russia's top diplomat

American Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovic was detained in Russia last week. The newspaper's editor-in-chief Emma Tucker tells "Face the Nation" that "it's hugely reassuring to us" that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has spoken to his Russian counterpart.

I watched this entire interview
She didn't answer one question

even russians know it’s not safe to be in russia, ffs it’s not rocket science.

Direct quote from Emma Tucker in this interview "...obviously, we put the safety of our journalists first. A lot of other news organizations no longer have a presence in Russia." The logic of this statement is faulty, isn't it? And not the only run-around in this interview.This woman should not be editor-in-chief of WSJ.

Emma blundered that one! uncomfortable about what he was reporting. “Ummm, he was doing what he does, gathering facts.” WTF😂😂😂

[merriemelodiesfan]

WSJ should have never let that journalist get detained in the first place, both of them assessed the risks, but let him go anyway not understanding that Vladimir Putin is capable of anything if it furthers his ambition.

Does the journalist identify as a black female basketball player?

[tomhenderson]

The Russians still have not arrested me yet. Because I never go to Russia. I'm smart like that.

Edward Snowden says what???? Why you care about journalist now???

[thorkushari]

DEI hire.
Ask her about Julian Assange.

Is the Russian government able to communicate with their citizens when they are held in American prisons?

[roberthodge]

I can not imagine Rupert Meercock does not have his major bro Putty on the speed dial. Mr. Gershkovic has been naive about the deep detritus he is working for and in. Now he knows. So do We. The oligarch oil their way forward. We settle for a cold beer.

Blinkin', and Winkin', and Noddin' This is the most disgusting administration in my lifetime 👎

REPORTERS HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO GET THE NEWS TO US

These split-tailed creatures, especially these old ones, need more perfume and lots more makeup. (They have not yet grasped “the truth, nor high definition tv sets”.)
