By Jason Jones & John Zmirak, The Stream - As we observed here last week, the Russian national sport isn’t football. It’s chess. That’s a game where the guy who can think not just two moves but ten moves ahead wins every time. And watching Tucker Carlson interview Vladimir Putin, then traipse around Russian supermarkets and subway stations goofily raving about their cleanliness, brought that truth painfully home... Tucker Carlson is the most important journalist in America. He’s smart, courageous, principled, and he got played by Putin. Carlson didn’t grow up playing chess, as Putin doubtless did — literally and figuratively, when he trained for the KGB.
