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

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, Dave Rubin 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.

    100k/month to post pro Russian videos. The company was giving them talking points.

    Tim pool weasely claims he has full editorial control, but doesn’t say how much of their editorial direction he “decided” to take, and how often.

      It’s better if he just admits to being a Russian shill. He recently called Ukraine an enemy and said that the US should apologize to Russia. If he’s saying that shit of his own accord, that’s WORSE.
