Tucker Carlson's Role in Crafting Russian Propaganda
Leaked emails detail how Russia’s biggest state broadcaster, working with the nation’s security services, mined right-wing American news and Chinese media to craft a narrative that Moscow was winning....
(T)hey excerpted and translated footage from favorite pundits, like the Fox News host Tucker Carlson, whose remarks about the war were shown to millions of Russians.
“Be sure to take Tucker,” one Russian news producer wrote to a colleague. The email referred to a clip in which Mr. Carlson described the power of the Chinese-Russian partnership that had emerged under Mr. Biden — and how American economic policies targeting Russia could undermine the dollar’s status as a world-reserve currency.
Fox News and other conservative outlets were fixtures of internal news roundups, scripts and broadcasts.

So, in addition to poisoning the brains our of our domestic wingnuts, these self-proclaimed "patriots" at Fox News are a preferred source of material for Russian propaganda in support of the Ukraine War. America First indeed.
