A media company matching the description of Tenet Media, which hosts six MAGA commentators, allegedly received $10 million from Russian sources, according to an indictment.

A Tennessee-based media company with prominent MAGA personalities on its roster has been accused of receiving millions of dollars from two employees of Russian state-backed media company Russia Today (RT) in order to influence American viewers.

According to Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, the Russian employees created a $10 million scheme “to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging.”

    I can tell you for a fact that my one remaining MAGA friend is hyper-fixated on “liberals believing liberal propaganda”. I am sure that’s a well-researched safety mechanism from russian counterintelligence.

    It also fits snugly in the whole cult mentality, which is as old as the hills.

      Yeah I had a coworker who said that crap constantly, while endlessly parroting every talking point from his daily outrage channels.
