In response to allegations circulating in Russian state media, network CEO Tucker Carlson has flatly denied any involvement in an alleged deal to have his programs appear on Russian television.
So the “Russia Russia Russia” hoax is not a hoax at all. They really are in the tank https://t.co/1Avw9Oso6f

The allegations stem from a show called Tucker, airing on Russia 24, which allegedly repurposes old episodes of Carlson's shows from X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube, accompanied by Russian voiceovers. Notably, the first episode and several clips from previous months are now accessible online, Russian state newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports.
No, Tucker Carlson did not launch a show on Russian TV. This is a blatantly dishonest report. Russian media is just ripping their content from 𝕏 and dubbing it. It's called content piracy. Newsweek should issue an immediate correction and apology. https://t.co/ugqeXy2vAg

Newsweek has now updated its headline and added an editor's note stating that Tucker did not launch a show on Russian TV after Tucker Carlson Network CEO. @NeilPatelTDC rejected their claim and said Newsweek didn't even reach out to them for comment before publishing it… https://t.co/rJQQmaqMDa pic.twitter.com/cRKO27dudy

Smotrim.ru, a platform where content from Russian state channels is available, shows an episode presented by Carlson dated May 18 with Russian dubbing. Additionally, the website hosts additional clips from previous interviews conducted by Carlson.
Independent news channel Astra has verified that the show includes the Russian dubbing of Carlson's original US shows and is not content tailored for Russian audiences. During September 2023, Russia 24 aired a trailer for a show featuring Carlson, although the broadcast date was not specified, according to the BBC. Carlson himself denied any knowledge of this development in an interview with The Financial Times.
Neil Patel, CEO of the Tucker Carlson Network, refuted the claims published in Rossiyskaya Gazeta and Astra, suggesting cooperation with the state media channel. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he stated: “The Tucker Carlson Network has not engaged in any partnership with any nation's state media. Any entity attempting to represent itself as the former Newsweek should have verified with us before publishing, as professional news agencies do.”
Addressing the issue, Dean Thompson, head of programming and production operations for the Tucker Carlson Network, confirmed to Newsweek that reports of a Russian show featuring Carlson have no merit. It stated: “The narrative of a Russian show is completely inaccurate. Any use of our content by this channel is unauthorized.”
With the news that Tucker Carlson is launching a show on Russian state television, all that can be said is that any ambiguity and hesitation seems to have disappeared, and that the spokesman has now embraced his master. pic.twitter.com/EDf7GUE0ux
