The hashtag TuckyoRose was trending on Sunday as Tucker Carlson became the target of mockery and attacks after it was revealed he was pushed by Russia as part of their propaganda efforts.
Mother Jones revealed a leaked memo from the Russian Department of Information and Telecommunications Support that was ordering state media personalities and producers to promote comments made by the Fox host.
TuckyoRose is a take-off of Tokyo Rose, the name given to World War II women delivering pro-Japanese propaganda in English to allied soldiers in the South Pacific.
As retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman explained that no one should live their lives as a state TV shill for Russia.
Live your life in such a way that the Russian government and state tv apparatus doesn\u2019t think you\u2019re an ally @TuckerCarlson \n#TuckyoRosehttps://twitter.com/juliadavisnews/status/1503037582468210694\u00a0\u2026— Alexander S. Vindman (@Alexander S. Vindman) 1647203106
On Saturday, Carlson's show also began appearing on Chinese Communist Party television promoting Ukraine conspiracy theories. On Friday, Carlson's show aired propaganda from Chinese and Russian leaders.
China\u2019s state controlled media quoting Tucker Carlson quoting Russian propaganda. The Ukraine War is an vivid example of @FoxNews being on the side of America\u2019s enemy.https://twitter.com/billbirtles/status/1502545467783393283\u00a0\u2026— \u6768\u6db5 Han Yang (@\u6768\u6db5 Han Yang) 1647136596

If Maria Bartiromo is concerned about who\u2019s seeing Putin as a partner she should be calling out Tucker Carlson and Trump.— Chris Hahn (@Chris Hahn) 1647195286
Dems control Congress & should use their power. There should be hearings that deal with who on the Right are #RussianAssets. It should target House members & Senators like Ron Johnson & Marco Rubio.

Tucker Carlson is the Walter Cronkite... of Russian Television.— Mr. Newberger (@Mr. Newberger) 1647211603
As I've written previously, Fox News uses similar tactics to Russian state media. In this column, I spoke to @peterpomeranzev\u2014who worked in Russian media\u2014about the parallels between the two. It's grotesque, and Tucker Carlson is yet another useful idiot. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/03/23/he-worked-russian-media-he-recognizes-same-tactics-fox-news/\u00a0\u2026https://twitter.com/MotherJones/status/1503034381392388104\u00a0\u2026— Brian Klaas (@Brian Klaas) 1647188230
This #SundayMorning remember that folks like Maria Bartiromo and Tucker Carlson are all parroting #FoxNewsFascistPropaganda.
