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

      You’ll get a bunch of headline gore followed by a DOJ that shelves this all as “unprosecutable”.

      In five years, Tim Poole will have a show on CNN where guest Jon Stewart recalls that he got caught taking Russian money. And we’ll all get a laugh about how he did this with Crossfire to the same effect.

      weird whattaboutism. bit beyond a caasual “accusation”, they’ve been officially indicted. I am sure that if Israeli propagandists had been indicted, you would hear about it.

    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.

    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.

      We have implemented this new thing called clickbaiting. How do you like it so far?

        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.

      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.

    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!”

    Putinist Russia and the Western far-right are two cheeks of the same arse. Ultra-conservative, ultra-nationalist, hellbent on stirring up culture wars and spreading false information.
