Well well well, who would have guessed that f*&^$% up right-wing nut-jobs are actually russian assets.
In short: This is a $10 Million scheme to spread disinformation via TENET media youtube channel that includes Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, and Dave Rubin and is based in Tennessee.
This is being reported by corporate media (which I will not link to) ,as well as smaller places, including on Medias Touch Network and linked below:
From: www.dailydot.com/...
“The Department of Justice charged two employees of Russia Today with violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), saying they participated in “a $10 million scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging.”
The press release from the DOJ says that “Russian state broadcaster RT orchestrated a massive scheme to influence the American public by secretly planting and financing a content creation company on U.S. soil.”
Updated to add more details:
From Huffpost: www.huffpost.com/...
“The Department of Justice indicted two employees of the state-backed Russian media company RT on Wednesday, saying they funded and directed the coverage of a U.S. conservative media outlet in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
The indictment alleges that two Russians, Kostiantyn Kalashnikov and Elena Afanasyeva, funneled nearly $10 million into the U.S. media company as part of a Kremlin-backed effort to influence American audiences in favor of Russian government priorities, and says they failed to register as agents of a foreign government as required by law.”
Kudos to the DOJ and Merrick Garland and President Joe Biden.
Now, is there any way to also figure out how elon musk is getting away with being an active agent of chaos and do something about it!
