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.”

    You would think that if $10M was insignificant, they wouldn’t accept it from Russia given the implications of being found out.

    Kinda reeks of desperation if you ask me…

      It’s not insignificant to these Göebbels-houses, it’s insignificant to the oligarchs that fund it.
