Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has found himself at the center of controversy again due to his recent visit to Moscow and an off-the-cuff conversation he had with a Russian journalist.
Carlson is in the city for his highly anticipated interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The interview, confirmed by the Kremlin and Russian state news agency Tass, will be the first with an American journalist since 2021 and is expected to be released once it is prepared.
In a brief clip filmed in a parking lot, Carlson stated, “I really do like [Moscow], I’m not just saying that. Why do I feel like I’m betraying my country when I’m saying that? I’m not, I love America.”
Carlson’s praise for Moscow has drawn criticism from journalists and media organizations.
Previously, Carlson had claimed that “not a single Western journalist has bothered to interview Vladimir Putin,” a...

Mark Zuckerberg confronted a series of tough, pointed questions from members of the European Parliament today, as the Facebook chief executive was asked to provide answers about the social media platform’s data collection practices.
The Silicon Valley executive once again apologized for not doing enough to protect user data — an apology he has offered repeatedly to government leaders and users since the Cambridge Analytical scandal broke.
“We didn’t take a broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a mistake and I am sorry for it,” Zuckerberg told EU lawmakers, as he pledged a commitment to keeping Facebook’s users safe and making changes to the platform to prevent the spread of fake news and misinformation, in the future.
Zuckerberg had sought to avoid the spectacle of publicly testifying before European lawmakers, after nearly 10 hours of grilling last month by members of Congress. But in the end,...

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg faced tough questions from EU lawmakers during a meeting with the Conference of Presidents of the Political Groups of the European Parliament Tuesday. Lawmakers pressed Facebook’s chief executive on issues ranging from privacy to antitrust.
Zuckerberg opened the meeting by reiterating many of the same remarks he had been using during recent appearances, once again apologizing for past misdeeds. “I’m committed to getting this right,” he said. Zuckerberg also reminded lawmakers of the economic force of his company in Europe, telling them that Facebook will employ some 10,000 people across 12 European cities by the end of the year.
EU lawmakers were having none of it. “Apologizing is a good thing,” said Manfred Weber, who is a member of the conservative European People’s Party. But apologies alone were not enough. “Now, it is time for acting.”
Weber went on to say that Zuckerberg hadn’t been...

Tony Blair’s upcoming memoir, A Journey, contains a gossipy anecdote about George W. Bush, who served as president of the United States of America at the turn of the 21st century. According to Blair, at a G8 summit in 2001, Bush did not recognize Belgium’s then prime minister, Guy Verhofstadt. “[Bush] then turned to me and whispered, ‘Who is this guy?’” Blair writes. So funny, right? So funny until right now, when we ask that you try to distinguish the former Belgian prime minister from a slide show of various Belgian elected officials, completely random humans, and people who look exactly like Guy Verhofstadt—all of who may have been present at the G8 summit in question.
