In the US “the aggression against science and scientists is coming from one political party, and the extreme element of one political party” but the article talks about harassment in other countries as well.
#TuckerCarlson, the #conservative fmr #FauxNews host w/a history of airing bogus “news” claimed — falsely — that prominent US newspapers & television outlets had refused to interview #Putin since his invasion of #Ukraine, & were ignoring #Russia’s perspective. Carlson labeled Western media as “corrupt,” & accused them of lies on Tues in a video confirming that he was in Moscow for a Q & A w/the president.
#TuckerCarlson’s assertion was astonishing given that two #journalists who are #UnitedStates citizens are now jailed in Russia: #EvanGershkovich, of The WSJ, who was accused of espionage & seized by #FSS agents last year during a reporting trip to Yekaterinburg, & #AlsuKurmasheva, of #RadioFreeEurope /Radio Liberty’s who has dual U.S. and Russian citizenship and who was arrested in October while visiting #Russia from Prague where she had been living.
