A 32 -page indictment alleges that a group of right-wing media personalities were unwitting agents of Russian information warfare.

The DOJ says the group is a Nashville -based content company co-owned by Lauren Chen and Lauren Donovan .

Tenet Media is alleged to be a front for RT, which is run by the Russian government, to spread pro-Russian propaganda on social media.

Tenet Media was founded in January 2022 by Lauren Yu Sum Tam and her husband Liam Donovan .

Tenet received $10 million in funding from Russia , including $8.7 million to the production companies of three high-profile conservative podcasters.

The group targeted by RT was an impressive array of big-deal conservative and/or right-leaning YouTubers .

Indictment: Tenet Media employed over 2,000 influencers to create content for Russia .

The Russians would also request that creators make specific content, including videos about a terrorist attack in Moscow .

It's unclear what opinions began as propaganda and what opinions came by honestly, but in either case it seems backers are willing to pay for the output.
