Putin was interviewed in detail by a US journalist for the first time since he started the full-fledged war against Ukraine almost two years ago

And in the next paragraph, he’s a “television personality.” I mean the second one is more accurate, but sloppy reporting and editing nonetheless.

You don't have to be a good journalist to technically be a journalist

Journalism is a skilled profession that covers things like properly sourcing articles. Something Carlson could never be accused of. He’s a personality and nothing more.

By that logic I'm a neurosurgeon.

Well other than the fact that you haven't (presumably) done any neurosurgery
