Anybody paying attention to how weird GOP media has been becoming for over a decade has been speculating in this direction. It's good that the DOJ has finally done something. And lol, tenet media has folded.

This story was in The New York Times. During 2016 election The New York Times published thousands of stories about Clinton email/Benghazi, not one on Trumps lifelong ties to NY/Russian mob. As if The New York Times wasn't in a particularly knowledgeable position to report on 70 years of NYC construction & mob history. All the money in my pocket says The Paper of Record has been taking Russian money for decades.

New York Times front page, three days before the 2016 election:

Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia

FUCK YOU NEW YORK TIMES

Yup! Remember Romney saying that Russia was our geopolitical enemy and Obama being the one who called that ridiculous? Ever since then the Republicans have had an absurd love affair with Putin.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To be fair, there was an honest gambit there with Our Pal Russia, the same one that was tried with China. It didn't work but it seemed like a fair thing to try, especially considering the economic constraints of the alternative.

[–] pennomi 23 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Oh yeah, at the time Obama was right to try to repair relations with Russia. They’ve simply grown worse as they figured out how to poke at the world via information warfare.

"Secretly"

This is the dead giveaway that NYT does not give a SHIT about all the fucked up pro-Trump shit they've pulled. Not even a little.

This is why I have zero problems when conservatives want to shit on it. "Yeah!" I say. Even though yeah usually they have something good there. Liberal media - yeah right. Fuck.

"Secretly" lmao

Come on now. Worst kept secret in politics.

Secretly?! 🤣👌🏼

[–] Diplomjodler3 37 points 2 months ago

Worst kept secret ever.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago

Secretly?

Shit, I'm from the UK and I don't know a single person here that doesn't already know that the Conservatives in the US are infested with russian mouth pieces.

Horribly kept secret if you can even call it one.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This seems like kind of a poorly kept secret...

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Weren't they bragging about it back when Trump was in office?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yep, it went from "Better Dead Than Red" in the late 20th century to "I'd rather be Russian than be a democrat" on actual t-shirts.

‘an American media company’

Fucking who? Why this protection through obfuscation. Ugh

[–] A7thStone 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They do in the article. It's Tenet, Dave Rubin, Dim Fool, and a third person are also named.

[–] b3an 15 points 2 months ago

I’m just frustrated they use this technique to drag people into the article. Maybe I just wanna see the company and if I’d heard of it before.

[–] TheFonz 20 points 2 months ago

It's in the indictment: Tenet Media

[–] sunbytes 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The consensus (in most press) is that it's Tim Poole's company.

He's even made a statement about it. So it seems like a solid guess.

Companies should be dissolved. Men should go to prison. This is tantamount to treason

[–] captainlezbian 11 points 2 months ago

I think we should imprison the women involved as well

"secretly worms" is a pretty good way to describe Tucker Carlson, actually

Secretly my ass. Anyone with a brain can see the same thing happening on Facebook, popular podcasts, and YouTube as what we see Lemmy from HB and ml.

[–] carl_dungeon 26 points 2 months ago

It’s not a fucking secret. Russia has been fucking with America for like 70 years.

[–] Treczoks 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"worms it's way into"? Boy, you're late, that worming has been done ages ago. It laid its eggs, and they did hatch already.

Hot off the derp files.

No shit.

Fox News— Tucker Carlson, Shawn Hannity, Stepford Nazi edition wife Laura Ingraham and now Jesse Watters have been in the bag forever.

Rupert Murdoch has been licking Pootie’s sack and trying to bring down democracy.

[–] themeatbridge 25 points 2 months ago

This reads like a Baptist minister discovering a boyfriend his daughter's room, and then losing his shit like the boyfriend hadn't been invited in. "How could you dupe my sweet, innocent political party with your seductive money and influence!"

[–] FlyingSquid 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In case you missed the little summary above: Benny Johnson, Tim Pool and Dave Rubin are the big ones.

And if you've never heard of them, your average Trump voter has.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

to be clear, these are the just the end points of the money, lauren chen and her husband were the ones actually funneling the money into this corp and to these people. (and the two indicted russians obviously)

Her and her husband also knew about it being from russia, so they're likely getting fucked over by the fed soon for this one.

[–] EleventhHour 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I would be surprised if there weren’t well placed Russian influence in most conservative media in the United States.

Tim Pool! I once knew a guy who thought everything he said was amazing

[–] FlyingSquid 17 points 2 months ago

Tim Pool really recently said that he supports the death penalty for treason...
