Putin dictates who is allowed to interview him. What do you think that will entail?
Tucker Carlson Leaving Fox News

And that has fuck all to do with American's rights to conduct journalism.
Americans have no rights in Russia.
I don't give a fuck about what rights Russia gives to people. I'm talking about an American, doing journalism. You said he doesnt have the right. He abso-fucking-lutely does.
He has the right to interview anybody, anywhere, any time. That's an American right. Others deciding that they do or don't want to has FUCK ALL to do with American rights. The rights people have in Russia have fuck all to do with Tucker's rights as an an American journalist to take whatever interviews he can get.
I think you're interpreting that phrase wrong. At least it feels that way.
There's no compulsion in it. Like @Rocinante said, the interviewee has a say in the matter as well.
As for the 'anywhere' bit. The interviewer better have their crap together if the interview is conducted in a foreign country where the idea of a free press is pretty much laughed at.
On a different note, what are the odds that some random alphabet-agency is going to try and seize Tucker Carlson's interview before he has a chance to edit and post it?

Because it is most likely going to be gladly posted about by the MSM.

Free press is a foundational right of our country. It has nothing to do with being arrogant. It's part of your free speech, Zach.
The interviewee has a say as well. But our journalists have the right to conduct journalism. Period.
What other countries say, or whether the people we want to interview or investigate agree, is inconsequential. Americans have the right to free speech and free press. Others don't have to grant them the opportunity, but they have the right to do it. That's not arrogance, that's the constitution.
That's definitely more likely. The other alternative I asked about was an idea that popped into my head as I was writing.
??? The whole point of being human is having the right of doing whatever the hell we want.
The first two amendments of America basically boil down to "I can say and do what I want, and you will get shot if you say otherwise, no tread on snek".
We have that right, within the birders of our own nation.
Once we leave we no longer have that protection as a right.
MSM is going to use this to get ratings back. Or try at least
I can say and do what I want from the comforts of my own country.
I can't go to North Korea and bad mouth the Kim family.

I don’t think you understand what people are saying. When they have a right from the American government. That means the American government has to respect and allow it. We can also outlaw things that are done outside of Americas borders.
Your rights as an American don't go away just because you went to another country. That country might not have those rights, but that's not what I'm talking about. You can come back to America and air that interview, and that is protected by the constitution.
Again, I don't care what other countries allow or don't allow, and I don't care what people agree or don't agree to an interview.
I was responding to someone who said Tucker doesn't have the right to interview Putin. If Putin is willing to do an interview, he absolutely does have a constitutional right to conduct the interview.
