Russian meddling: Yesterday, the Department of Justice charged two Russian media operatives, Kostiantyn Kalashnikov and Elena Afanasyeva (both affiliated with RT, formerly known as Russia Today), in a scheme it alleges funneled many millions of dollars to a Tennessee-based company that employs prominent heterodox/conservative commentators.
The company is almost definitely Tenet Media, founded by Lauren Chen (a.k.a. Roaming Millennial) and Liam Donovan, who allegedly knew the funding came from Russia; at least two contributors, meanwhile, were reportedly misled. The company employs Dave Rubin, Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and Lauren Southern.
