A media company matching the description of Tenet Media, which hosts six MAGA commentators, allegedly received $10 million from Russian sources, according to an indictment.

A Tennessee-based media company with prominent MAGA personalities on its roster has been accused of receiving millions of dollars from two employees of Russian state-backed media company Russia Today (RT) in order to influence American viewers.

According to Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, the Russian employees created a $10 million scheme “to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging.”

    I don’t think knowingly doing millions in business with a hostile nation we have sanctions against is going to meet the definition of “free speech”.

        I’m curious, are you saying that you personally think receiving money from a hostile foreign country in violation of sanctions should be allowed as free speech, or is this some sort of contrarian reference to Citizens United saying that money is speech in elections?
