Russians Paid Right-Wing Creators $100,000 Per Video!

"The conservative creator Lauren Chen had her contract terminated by Blaze Media on Thursday, a day after she was implicated in a bombshell DOJ indictment alleging a Russian influence campaign.

Chen, a co-founder of Tenet Media, had been collecting checks from the right-wing Blaze Media for creating YouTube content and appearing on BlazeTV, which was founded by the former Fox News host Glenn Beck."

Guys, read the indictment! It says Lauren Chen asked when they were going to get paid and didn't get an immediate response. She then googled "moscow time" and realized it was 4am Russia time. She then waited to receive a response. She knew the money was coming from Russia!

You don't ask questions when you know the answers.

Last time i was victimized i got punched and robbed, meanwhile the last time Tim Pool was victimized he got paid $5.2 million per year

[RockerickS]

Tenet is a Christopher Nolan movie in which the villain is a Russian oligarch. 😂😂😂

[Rains]

These right-wing traitors need to be in prison.

Tim Pool literally said in a video "Ukraine is the enemy of the American people, and the US should withdraw and apologize to Russia"....he said that

[rmpumper]

So Dim Tool says that he was just a useful idiot when he was screaming "Ukraine is our enemy", rather than a paid shill?

I’m with Cenk. I don’t believe them not even one little bit. I think all they care about and wanted the money.

[jediryan]

Tim Pool didn't ask why someone was paying him 100k per video to spread Russian talking points. YEAH RIGHT! That fooker knew it.

[gxuodso]

They knew and they're traitors for money!

[Woody]

They should be required to Donate All Russian dirty money to Ukraine's actual victims

[mrddcass]

No wonder there's so many right-wing channels online. 💰

[Rghjustsaying]

As Jessie Walter’s recently acknowledged on the Five when discussing this issue, he would lie to for $400, 000 per month. Oh, he actually makes over $400, 000. Per month hosting for Fox.

I blocked Tenet Media a long time ago. They were very polished, but their “information” was clearly biased.

[haircafekevin]

Why has Lauren Chen not been charged with a crime yet?

[davidkirk]

Russian bots trolling this pod. Really obvious.

[Dawg]

Is water wet? Yes they absolutely knew.

[PatGeo]

Someone should investigate Tucker Carlson too!

[stubbysidwell]

I hope there are a lot of sweaty commentators out there wondering where their money comes from now. Awesome video.

[KCAATV]

I suspect that none of them are unwitting.
