I did not watch Putin and Tucker, but I am sure that this Max Headroom is a rather nutral representative of most Western news or media guys giving a comprehensive avarage opinion on the interview and Tucker.
I believe that it would be as helpful to get an established major media reporter to Putin as it would make sence to let her speak to the representative of the German butcher factories in order to understand Putins real attitude on the topic or about Veganism despite sausages.
