I hope you can all appreciate why I've taken my time to make a statement.
— Lauren Southern (@Lauren_Southern) September 8, 2024
What has happened with the DOJ indictments and Tenet Media is obviously a serious matter. I’m treating it as such.
A few short facts.
I am not accused of any crimes and the allegations I’ve read about in…

Because the report itself denies it for her.
It's kind of pathetic that people are trying to pin this on everyone except Chen, the only person actually accused of anything here. Probably because she's the least relevant person in the TENET media and they want to b-word about people like Tim Pool, a significantly bigger personality.

The only thing being pinned on anyone is being useful idiots

The only way to not be a "useful idiot" for Russia is to not offer any meaningful opposition to the US establishment, in other words, to be a useful idiot for the US establishment.

Russia supports anyone who opposes the US establishment. Maybe they won't give them money, but they will still send their bot farms to boost their tweets/videos.

Okay, but they did give them a ton of money and gained the level of influence that one gets when you pay people a ton of money.

Russia has hundreds of its people working as agents in various organizations and movements around the world, just like every other world superpower. The idea that a person who wants to be a media personality has to vet the financial sources of everyone he ever decides to have any dealings with is kinda ridiculous.

Why are you defending these r-slurs so hard? They aren't going to jail it's just embarrassing for them.

Because this whole situation feels like people trying to force some big drama and controversy where there is none (or maybe very little). And I don't just mean on rDrama, but also everywhere else on the internet.

No, it doesn't. In fact, Southern was also aware that the money coming in was from the Ruskies.

Is it actually illegal in the US to be a media personality who is funded by Russian money? I don't know what the laws are about that.
Surely we wouldn't brand foreign journ*lism/propaganda organizations as threats and make it illegal to work with them, like those evil countries like Russia do... we're better than that, aren't we?

it does specifically exclude news or press services as long as they're not owned by the foreign state though: it talks about political activities but that means lobbying not propaganda, and they apparently removed the term propaganda in later revisions
so they're either going to need to prove that the russians actually owned tenet and were completely choosing the talking points
or they'll need to come up with some weird argument that having a podcast is lobbying because a congressman might listen to it
this is the most relevant language i guess? it's hard to imagine how that doesn't catch a news agency (if you report on russia in any way, aren't you now publishing facts about russia? maybe not if you just lie so no facts?), but maybe it's worded well enough to hit them and the govt just never tried that until now

I checked the TENET media right before it was taken down from YouTube. They barely if ever talked about Russia. It was mostly just typical right-wing stuff.

That's propaganda. If they sperged about Russia 24/7 ppl would get wise. If they post about sjws owned and occasionally shill Russia its more convincing

I can't remember any pro-Russian person saying that "Ukraine is fascist and would destroy the West". They mostly say how this war is causing a huge strain on the world economy and how there is nothing tangible to gain by constantly supplying Ukraine and also how half of the resources given to Ukraine end up being stolen. All of which is true. If that's what Russian propaganda looks like, then we should pay them for more of it, because they are clearly the voice of reason.
