Tenet Media is no more.

The conservative media network folded Thursday night, just one day after the Department of Justice unsealed an indictment accusing it of being funded by Russian state-controlled mediaaccording to Tenet Media field reporter Tayler Hansen.

The indictment accused Tenet and its founders of receiving nearly $10 million from employees of Russia Today as part of “a scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging,” Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a statement.

    Where’s all the “there’s no Russian interference” people at now? Are they doing the mental gymnastics on how they’re going to flip this as being the Democrats fault?

        That we know of. This was an extremely simple and silly scheme that was exposed. It wasn’t even the first. And it won’t be the last. Plus there will be a few slightly more competent ones that we may never know about in our lifetime.

      But…but…Putin openly endorsed Komrade Kamala…very strongly. Many say Sir, it is the strongest endorsement a communist has ever made.

      These people were too busy creating some bullshit called Trump derangement syndrome and accusing people of having it. They don’t live in reality and want to drag us down with them.

      Babylon Bee promptly started posting ‘satire’ pieces about Clinton whining about Russian interference the moment the news dropped. The right’s response appears to be to connect this to the prior cases, which they already got people to believe a false narrative about.
