主题：【原创】新闻杂感 -- 自以为是

When Tucker Carlson went to the Kremlin he had a function well known to history. He was to be the stooge of the tyrant, the dictaphone to the dictator and a traitor to journalism.

In his fawning, guffawing, slack-jawed happiness at having a ‘scoop’, he betrayed his viewers and listeners around the world.

当塔克·卡尔森去克里姆林宫时，他扮演了历史上众所周知的角色。他是暴君的跟班，独裁者的口述笔录者，也是对新闻事业的叛徒。

在他卑躬屈膝、傻笑着、嘴巴张得大大的幸福中，因为拥有了一个“独家新闻”，他背叛了全世界的观众和听众。

So I pray that the people of the U.S. are able to see through last night’s unholy charade of an interview. I know how many U.S. congress men and women have been fans of Tucker Carlson, and I say: remember Charles Lindbergh, remember the America Firsters, remember how many American legislators at first opposed involvement in the war with Hitler.

因此，我祈祷美国人能够看穿昨晚那场不祥的采访的真相。我知道有多少美国国会议员是塔克·卡尔森的粉丝，我要说：记住查尔斯·林德伯格，记住美国优先派（支持美国第一的人——注），记住最初有多少美国立法者反对卷入与希特勒的战争。

I hope and believe that if President Trump is elected again he will confound his critics, turn his party round and complete the work that he began when he became the first U.S. President to give arms to the Ukrainians.

我希望并相信，如果特朗普总统再次当选，他将使他的批评者感到困惑，改变他的政党方向，并完成他在成为第一位向乌克兰提供武器的美国总统时开始的工作。

In a way it is unfair to blame Carlson for his abject performance. He was not there to challenge. He was just the medium, the sewer, the hose by which the untreated slurry of Putin’s message could be sprayed where Putin wants it most — over the fertile heartlands of America.

在某种程度上，责怪卡尔森表现卑劣是不公平的。他不是去挑战的。他只是媒介，下水道，通过这个未经处理的普京信息的软泥可以被喷洒到普京最想要的地方——美国肥沃的心脏地带。
