Putin was interviewed in detail by a US journalist for the first time since he started the full-fledged war against Ukraine almost two years ago

And in the next paragraph, he’s a “television personality.” I mean the second one is more accurate, but sloppy reporting and editing nonetheless.

You don't have to be a good journalist to technically be a journalist

Journalism is a skilled profession that covers things like properly sourcing articles. Something Carlson could never be accused of. He’s a personality and nothing more.

By that logic I'm a neurosurgeon.

Well other than the fact that you haven't (presumably) done any neurosurgery

I've concussed at least three people over the years.

Tucker claimed on the record he is not a journalist. Fox News claimed on the record they are not news. Then they go in to act like they both are. Fox News should have news removed from its name and Tucker should present himself as he claimed.
