Commentators and journalists assert that Tucker Carlson's journalistic methods compromise the integrity of the journalism profession and negatively influence public discourse.

Claim

Quotes that support the claim

"Many journalists have interviewed Putin, who also makes frequent, widely covered speeches. Carlson’s interview is different because he is not a journalist, he’s a propagandist, with a history of helping autocrats conceal corruption."
"Tucker Carlson is getting exactly what he wants: attention... His explanation of why he’s doing it — that he’s a journalist and he needs to inform people; he can call himself whatever he wants. I think his work is demonstrable as not being just about giving people information. He has a point of view and often it’s not aligned with the facts."

Supporting arguments

Anne Applebaum labeled Carlson not as a journalist but as a propagandist aiding autocratic regimes.
Chris Cuomo criticized Carlson for seeking attention and questioned the journalistic intent behind his actions.
