If you don’t adjust your behavior to negative outcomes the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time, chances are very good you won’t adjust your behavior to the 1000th instance either. Only a conceptual shift will make a real difference. Look around (and inward) to see evidence of this everywhere.
Interviewing the leaders of governments that we are at war with, or likely going to be, shouldn’t be controversial, it should be the industry standard. Without that you don’t have journalism, you have propaganda. The people mad at Tucker know this and prefer the latter.
Early in WW2, when Hitler was still refusing to retaliate in kind for British bombings of German civilian targets, he had the Luftwaffe drop leaflets calling for peace onto British cities. Churchill had teams of street sweepers on standby to clean them up before anyone saw them, and the public was warned about being found in possession of them. Even if you think the call for peace was pure deception, people have a right to hear the other side out when deliberating over peace or war. Why not trust yourself and the people to suss fact from fiction and make informed decisions? It’s very telling that every time the government wants us to kill and die for it, extreme measures are taken to ensure we never hear the other side’s perspective. Don’t be afraid, be an adult, and a responsible citizen, hear them out and then decide.

“When you stop blaming other people for your problems. When you stop:
- procrastinating
- b*tching
- complaining
... about how unfair life is...it is truly amazing what the f*ck you can accomplish with your life!”
Life is fair/unfair based on the level of action you take.
Anyway, here is George Lucas explaining how the heroes of Star Wars were modelled after the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam and resistors to colonialism while the villains represented US imperialism.

No Muslim said Makhachev beating Charles was a victory for Islam and defeat for Christianity. It's just a sport, not a religion war.
This is just plain weird and disrespectful.
