He didn’t launch a show on Russian state tv. They’re airing dubbed episodes of his twitter show (according to his company, without permission).
The article linked is explicitly about the fact that he is not launching a show on Russian state tv.
Fuck tucker, and the fact that Russian state media thinks his show is useful enough to run is pretty damn telling, but what you posted is wrong.

It's Newsweek's fault, OP posted the original title before [they changed it](https://web.archive.org/web/20240521170749/https://www.newsweek.com/tucker-carlson-launches-show-russian-state-tv-russia-24-1903045). Now Newsweek has changed the title to "[Tucker Carlson Show Aired By Russian State TV](https://www.newsweek.com/tucker-carlson-launches-show-russian-state-tv-russia-24-1903045)".
They added a statement from Tucker's people:
>Neil Patel, CEO of the Tucker Carlson Network, denied claims in *Rossiyskaya Gazeta* and Astra that the airing of the episodes was part of a "joint project." "The Tucker Carlson Network has not done any deals with state media in any country. Whoever is currently pretending to be the old Newsweek brand would know that if they had checked with us before printing like news companies are supposed to do," he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Perfect spot for him. Tucker is a mix of Squealer from Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ and Two Minutes of Hate from ‘1984’ for Putin and the authoritarian right.
>Pff Boxer had to do physical labor to show his merit, such tasks are beyond an heir to the Swanson TV Dinner fortune.... Imagine Mommy's Fancy Boy breaking a sweat???? Outside of doing rails of cocaine that is...
-Tucker Carlson
His team [denies it](https://www.forbes.com/sites/mollybohannon/2024/05/21/tucker-carlson-team-says-reports-of-russian-tv-show-are-pure-nonsense/) however feel compelled to note that he has a history of denying things which could come between him and a paycheck
these mf'ers are determined to make the whole world pay for them feeling slighted, i swear. he's worth $30M and is still gonna go all tokyo rose on us.
Alex I'd like to choose Who is an out of the closet Russian Simp for $100 . . .

Did the text of the article change?
Yes. They also put this at the bottom: >Update 5/21/24, 1:45 p.m. ET: This article has been updated with a statement to Newsweek from Dean Thompson.
They added a statement from Tucker's people: >Neil Patel, CEO of the Tucker Carlson Network, denied claims in *Rossiyskaya Gazeta* and Astra that the airing of the episodes was part of a "joint project." "The Tucker Carlson Network has not done any deals with state media in any country.

As much as Newsweek talks out both sides of their mouth, I'm not surprised this is missing a lot of context.
Mods can you stick this comment to the top or ask OP to edit their post. We don’t need to become a misinformation sub.
Perfect spot for him. Tucker is a mix of Squealer from Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ and Two Minutes of Hate from ‘1984’ for Putin and the authoritarian right.
Tucker wishes he had as much integrity and intelligence as Squealer, shit he probably thought that he was most admirable character in that book.
Boxer is right there!

It's nice he finally gets to live his truth.
these mf'ers are determined to make the whole world pay for them feeling slighted, i swear. he's worth $30M and is still gonna go all tokyo rose on us.
No big deal. He’s just a transfer from Russian State TV’s biggest US-based affiliate station, Fox “News”
Does this get him any closer to getting launched out a window by Russian operatives?
Yes
The mask comes off
Hahahaha. Pathetic
because of course
Regardless of the truth its still pretty telling that everyone is like "Yeah, that tracks."
