Russian Times back at it again

Now I think I know where some here get their "real" news...from Putin...

Right-wing influencers were duped to work for covert Russian influence operation

I think they happily did it rather than were duped.

Hope you got some of that sweet Russian money that the Tim Pool’s and Benny Johnson’s of the world got.

I think they happily did it rather than were duped.

I mean, I think they happily took the money ($400,000 monthly fee, a $100,000 signing bonus and an additional performance bonus), and spouted lies that they perceived to be truths. 

But It's gotta be embarrassing to learn you were a pawn for the Russians.

I’m sure Ron Johnson and Tucker are embarrassed, then?

I have serious doubts about them finding out about all of this just yesterday.

We (globally) are pretty gullible when money gets involved.  "Hey, I really like your messaging and will pay you lots to continue it!  I'd especially appreciate if you emphasize points A, B & C".  "Nice work, I see you've got a million new followers, here's a bonus.  Keep up the great work!  Our country needs more people like you"

It's not like these guys have a clue about counterintelligence.  In fact, they probably think they're speaking for the good guys.  Sigh.

I guess I should say "It should be embarrassing to learn you were a pawn for the Russians."

This is the funniest part of this is the response: "Putin's a scumbag" but also the missing subtext of "I refuse to look introspectively at if there's an issue when the guy i call a scumbag is willing to pay me hundreds of thousands for views I'm espousing".

I’m sure some dentists are embarrassed, then?

I take exception with the idea that these people were duped or were pawns. They are fully aligned with Russia and happily spout the propaganda, along with fellating Orban. No duping necessary.

The video of Tim Pool calling Ukraine the enemy while pounding a table is peak.

Hopefully nobody on Scoop listens to alt-right Twitter streamers to get their news, though.

Lol.  We have a few posters whose only posts are barfing those talking points on here.

[Pakuni]

Whether or not they knew is to me less damning than the fact that Russia took at look at their content and said "Da, that's exactly the message we want to spread."

[rocky_warrior]

Bwahahahaha.  "mythical"

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-says-it-will-target-us-media-response-move-against-rt-2024-09-05/

Russia's foreign ministry said the U.S. moves were part of a plan to purge any dissenting voices from the global media landscape and to stoke fears among U.S. voters about Russia as a mythical external enemy.

I get all my news from Elon's feed.
Did you guys know Churchill is to blame for WWII?

Churchill AND Jew bankers.

And all the dead at Nazi camps were just the unintended consequence of poor logistics.

Thanks, Tuckems, for bringing us this illuminating information.

Kind of amusing how "paid shill/plant/influencer" when it comes to politically tinged social media posts used to be some sort of bogeyman/conspiracy theory for certain people even just a few years.  But now its not just a certainty, but disturbingly common, across any variety of topics, political persuasions, and geopolitical players.  Guess its probably cheaper than paying lobbyists.

And for all the justified criticisms of X, it was ramping up even before the Elon takeover.  "Western" Chinese propagandist shills were sloppy and blatant way before.

Yeah the platform is dead because of bots. Other social media is headed the same direction.

From the daily “not surprised at all” file.


Tucker has been cavorting with nazis and commies. Now he will be cavorting with JD Vance.

Will we even notice the difference? Is Vance a holocaust denier? Is Vance happy that childless women were gassed?

Oh certainly.  And I've been a twitter / X hater forever.

Tucker is just asking questions.  He’s the biggest thing in news media
