A number of high-profile, conservative influencers in the US have said they are “victims” of an alleged Russian disinformation campaign, after the Biden administration accused Moscow of carrying out a sustained campaign to influence the outcome of November’s presidential elections.
Tim Pool and Benny Johnson published statements on Wednesday evening addressing allegations that a US content creation company they were associated with had been provided with nearly $10m from Russian state media employees to publish videos with messages in favour of Moscow’s interests and agenda, including over the war in Ukraine.
One should add, they were willing victims of that campaign. We all remember what kind of senseless dribble they amplified that could have been discarded as false after a simple google search.
Are they really “victims” if they were willing and profiting? Seems like you’re just an accomplice at that point.
They’re only victims because they got caught. If they never got caught, they’d be happily taking Russian money everyday of the week.
I think it’s fair to call The Useful Idiot a victim.
Are you really a victim if you are willfully ignorant? Tim Pool loves to brag about how uneducated he is
Sounds like something an idiot would brag about.
Or completely stupid? If I spew idiocies what am I if not either paid to do it or literally an idiot?
I don’t think it’s an and/or situation with that one lol. They are definitely stupid.
a) Certainly. b) FYI it’s “senseless drivel” which sounds almost exactly the same.
Thanks!
They sided with the pandemic because Putin said so. They’re welcome to jobs outside the public eye, but not in it after that
