Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson addressed allegations that a company they were associated with had been paid to publish videos with messages in favour of Russia

The nearly 2,000 videos posted by the company have received more than 16m views on YouTube alone, prosecutors said. The company paid $8.7m to the production companies of three of the online stars it recruited, according to the indictment.
The commentators, who were not named in the indictment, did not know they were paid by RT, the Justice Department said.
In one instance, the indictment said, one of the RT employees asked the company to produce a video that would blame Ukraine and the United States for a mass shooting at a Moscow music venue, the justice department said, even though Islamic State had claimed responsibility. A company founder responded that one of the commentators is “happy to cover it”, according to the indictment.
Good ole TimCast, Tim Pool
How many of his videos are posted here? A gazillion!
He may have been duped and didn't know that the Tenet Media was working as an agent for Russia State propaganda.
HOWEVER....how many of you KNEW he was being PAID millions by Tenet Media to play and discuss the Ukrainian/pro Russia crap? Even if he didn't know it was Russian oropaganda, has he ever disclosed that he works for the right wing/trumper conservative Tenet Media and gets paid by them?
These three influencers acted as if they were independently producing their programs, Independently giving their views of their own, without being paid millions by a big media arm of the right wing
Why would that be odd?
