If they don’t allow Tucker back into the US—all he has to do is fly to Mexico then cross the US border illegally 🤣

[travisswanson]

Hey Forbes, your propaganda is showing, better cover it.

[Decomg]

For a mainstream media channel with 2.78 Million subscribers and to only bring a slideshow of pictures and words of what Tucker supposedly said a few times is pathetic coverage. Take this with a grain of salt and just listen to the interview and take your opinions from that.

[jeanettecameron]

I don't need media to tell me what I need to know. I will view the interview and decide for myself.

[kteguth]

I agree with Tucker, Carlson, and I don’t need nobody giving me their viewpoint on it. I want to see the interview, and I will make my own decision.

[prutz]

Tucker did NOT "Praise Putin for years". Know your place, Forbes.

[ep]

Forbes, you're showing your true

[warrendevine]

Tucker is not a Fox News host, he’s an independent!

[YAHYA]

[vintage]

[leadslinger]

They are going to go absolutely nuts when the interview is released. I hope people will finally see how much we've been lied to.

[abinmmj]

Wow Forbes. Tucker is being a great journalist here. Learn from him if you have any integrity left.

[petemoss]

Show us the entire interview, You're simply not trustworthy!
You've been lying and deceiving the public for years.
Stop cherry picking and putting spin on it.

[Xtremedia]

I've never seen such a meltdown over journalism from "media entities" -> (propagandists) who acclaim journalism.

[capoman]

Funny how the media feels the need TO PREP YOU for someone else's interview lol. WHAT ARE YOU SO WORRIED WE MIGHT HEAR? SOME TRUTH?

[cheehee_]

Dude goes and conducts real journalism, all the "journalists" lose their minds 😂

[riverspirit]

The hubris of forbes thinking their interpretation of an interview all thinking adults understand is formidable.

[backyardr.c.channel]

What is funny is youtube will not show the interview. The American people have a right to hear the interview. WIll forbes be showing the interview in its entirety.?

[artyomk]

He should seriously copyright the interview. Not a single US or UK mass outlet can be allowed to repost.

[sherchrist]

tucker is spot on. every other news outlet is JEALOUS as hell and should be! the truth has set him free.
