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.

        That we know of. This was an extremely simple and silly scheme that was exposed. It wasn’t even the first. And it won’t be the last. Plus there will be a few slightly more competent ones that we may never know about in our lifetime.

      But…but…Putin openly endorsed Komrade Kamala…very strongly. Many say Sir, it is the strongest endorsement a communist has ever made.
