Secretly doing a illegitimate amount of lifting I that headline.
It’s not a fucking secret. Russia has been fucking with America for like 70 years.
I thought it was a Canadian company that then contracted out right-wing American personalities.
I remember thinking when I heard it that it's probably the smartest thing Russia could have done; sneak in the back door by using the Canadians as a go-between.

The fucking Muscovites influenced and supported their Orange Sock Puppet since the 2016 election.
A lot longer than that.

Tucker reports his shock at the current turn of events from his summer home in St. Petersburg Florida. 😉😉

What ever happened to the NRA after that russian spy thing?
IIRC, they declared bankruptcy then went back to business as usual.

Now do Tucker
You guys!!! Why didn't anyone tell me about the secret? I had NO idea and now I look like an ASSHOLE!
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.

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

Worst kept secret ever.
"secretly"? lol, cmon
"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.
I agree with you, but let's try to not treat massive organizations as a single being. I'm sure even there some people were not ok with how pervasive Russian talking points were there. But then again, maybe I'm being naive.
If it weren’t pervasive, ubiquitous, and predictable I’d agree with you. But it’s as close to systemic as we can measure.
Why they do it is debatable, but that they do it is not.
I’m so glad this was top comment.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

Tim Pool! I once knew a guy who thought everything he said was amazing
Tim Pool really recently said that he supports the death penalty for treason...
Secretly?
