Tucker reports his shock at the current turn of events from his summer home in St. Petersburg Florida. 😉😉

[-] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 62 points 6 months ago

"Secretly" lmao

Come on now. Worst kept secret in politics.

[-] Doom@ttrpg.network 45 points 6 months ago
[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 38 points 6 months ago

Secretly?! 🤣👌🏼

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 37 points 6 months ago

Worst kept secret ever.

[-] Navarian@lemm.ee 33 points 6 months ago

Secretly?

Shit, I'm from the UK and I don't know a single person here that doesn't already know that the Conservatives in the US are infested with russian mouth pieces.

Horribly kept secret if you can even call it one.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 32 points 6 months ago

This seems like kind of a poorly kept secret...

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

Weren't they bragging about it back when Trump was in office?

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 23 points 6 months ago

Yep, it went from "Better Dead Than Red" in the late 20th century to "I'd rather be Russian than be a democrat" on actual t-shirts.

‘an American media company’

Fucking who? Why this protection through obfuscation. Ugh

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago

They do in the article. It's Tenet, Dave Rubin, Dim Fool, and a third person are also named.

[-] b3an@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

I’m just frustrated they use this technique to drag people into the article. Maybe I just wanna see the company and if I’d heard of it before.

[-] TheFonz@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

It's in the indictment: Tenet Media

[-] sunbytes@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The consensus (in most press) is that it's Tim Poole's company.

He's even made a statement about it. So it seems like a solid guess.

Companies should be dissolved. Men should go to prison. This is tantamount to treason

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

I think we should imprison the women involved as well

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

You'll get a bunch of headline gore followed by a DOJ that shelves this all as "unprosecutable".

In five years, Tim Poole will have a show on CNN where guest Jon Stewart recalls that he got caught taking Russian money. And we'll all get a laugh about how he did this with Crossfire to the same effect.

[-] blarth@thelemmy.club 27 points 6 months ago

Secretly my ass. Anyone with a brain can see the same thing happening on Facebook, popular podcasts, and YouTube as what we see Lemmy from HB and ml.

[-] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 27 points 6 months ago

"secretly worms" is a pretty good way to describe Tucker Carlson, actually

It’s not a fucking secret. Russia has been fucking with America for like 70 years.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 24 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Hot off the derp files.

No shit.

Fox News— Tucker Carlson, Shawn Hannity, Stepford Nazi edition wife Laura Ingraham and now Jesse Watters have been in the bag forever.

Rupert Murdoch has been licking Pootie’s sack and trying to bring down democracy.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months ago

This reads like a Baptist minister discovering a boyfriend his daughter's room, and then losing his shit like the boyfriend hadn't been invited in. "How could you dupe my sweet, innocent political party with your seductive money and influence!"

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago

In case you missed the little summary above: Benny Johnson, Tim Pool and Dave Rubin are the big ones.

And if you've never heard of them, your average Trump voter has.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

to be clear, these are the just the end points of the money, lauren chen and her husband were the ones actually funneling the money into this corp and to these people. (and the two indicted russians obviously)

Her and her husband also knew about it being from russia, so they're likely getting fucked over by the fed soon for this one.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago

"worms it's way into"? Boy, you're late, that worming has been done ages ago. It laid its eggs, and they did hatch already.

I would be surprised if there weren’t well placed Russian influence in most conservative media in the United States.

[-] jas0n@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Bingo. People keep saying how obvious because views aligned 100% with Russia (which, randomly, is like lottery odds). I have conservative friends who believe all that shit and they don't follow any of these clowns. The amount of times they've regurgitated Russian propaganda to me verbatim is hard to comprehend, and I've been shouting this from the rooftops for the better part of 2 years. It was just so damn obvious. People who have never given a thought to news outside of the US all the sudden telling me about Nazis in Ukraine was just a little too on the nose.

I'd bet my savings account this is just the tip of the iceberg.

[-] Shameless@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

Tim Pool! I once knew a guy who thought everything he said was amazing

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

Tim Pool really recently said that he supports the death penalty for treason...

[-] Zomg@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Unsurprising news from anyone with half a brain cell...

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Now do Congress

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

Open secret

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago
[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Fox News curiously silent.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

You guys!!! Why didn't anyone tell me about the secret? I had NO idea and now I look like an ASSHOLE!

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago
[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Now do Tucker

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

hey! just like the us have been doing to other countries for decades!

ironic if true.
