We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Independent news outlet Astra said that the program features Russian-language dubbing of Carlson's American shows and is not original content for Russian viewers

That is.. a little different than the headline implies

It is. But also still, in a way, worse. He's not creating or molding a show to fit the far-right viewpoint of the current Russian administration. It's pretty indicative of the negative merit, substance, and viewpoint expressed on his current show that airs on American television if the Russian government under Putin is taking it, as is, and putting it onto their citizen's tv's.

So, I assume Fox is selling this to RTV. The big issue I see is that future shows are made to potentially sell in the future. They first air in America, then get sold to Russia. All written with the end goal of selling to Russia.

Nah. Right-wing ideology pretty much works the same way no matter who you make it for. It was the same way with the Nat regime here in Apartheid-South Africa loving US-made cop shows - all right-wingers love cop shows (for pretty obvious reasons).

So you could say, “in Soviet Russia the State TV launches you?”

Yes you could say that...if you were on /.
