Geez, Abe - The Daily Beast is about the worst source one could find

Posted by Chris from Lafayette on May 3, 2024 at 16:27:23:
The article is kind of heavy on the emotional outrage, wouldn't you say?

Dugin was dubbed "a fringe crackpot" by somebody or other. The article's author won't say who it was. But who cares? The author of the Daily Beast article clearly doesn't.
"at least four of his books are currently available on the Amazon website" - Which Amazon website? Not the one I checked. And conveniently, the article's author doesn't provide a link.
"Carlson left out the fact that Dugin was sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Treasury in 2015 for helping to recruit people to fight on behalf of Russian forces in eastern Ukraine." The fact is. . . Tucker is under no obligation to include that information. But in any case, the ethnic Russian Ukrainian citizens were being attacked by their own coup government (laced with Bandera-worshipping Nazis - Victoria Nuland's pride and joy), and the people in the Donbass had a right to defend themselves, especially after the massacre by Ukrainian Nazis of innocent people at the Odessa Union Trade Hall. (I think we just had the 2-year anniversary of this horrific incident.)
"His daughter was also not simply an innocent bystander, but played an active role in pushing disinformation" - What disinformation? The Daily Beast author of course doesn't say. In any case, whatever it was, does it warrant her murder?
""What you're describing is clearly happening, and it's horrifying," Carlson said, before commiserating briefly with Dugin about "self-described liberals" canceling him by banning his book" - The Daily Beast's author completely missed the distinction which both Dugin and Carlson were trying to make between current liberalism (with its propensity for cancel culture) and classic liberalism. Carlson even described himself as a classic liberal.
"Kremlin-controlled media reported on Carlson hailing Dugin as the "most famous political philosopher in Russia" who has supposedly been persecuted by Ukraine." LOL! SUPPOSEDLY been persecuted by Ukraine? Geez, do you think murdering Dugin's daughter doesn't count as persecution?

I'm afraid all this Daily Beast article did was to show the nut-case predispositions of the Daily Beast's own writers.

For anyone who wants a much more factual account of what has happened in Ukraine since the US-supported coup there in 2014, the following article is indispensable. It's a fairly long article, but it's worth taking the time to read and consider:
