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.

    I suspect $10mil. is what they were able to track but isn’t it just a pocket change in the american media world, especially with such a mission?

      Politicians can be bought for embarrassingly low amounts, I dont see “media personalities” as generally being any better.
