Tenet Media is no more.

The conservative media network folded Thursday night, just one day after the Department of Justice unsealed an indictment accusing it of being funded by Russian state-controlled mediaaccording to Tenet Media field reporter Tayler Hansen.

The indictment accused Tenet and its founders of receiving nearly $10 million from employees of Russia Today as part of “a scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging,” Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a statement.

    It definitely helps. And even then it’s not for everyone. It’s ironically become a near perfect totem for American conservatism/conservatives. Sociopaths all the way down. You don’t watch the show to identity with a character. And if you do even the actors will tell you that’s a bad thing.

    The entire gang are irredeemable sociopaths. Who get up to selfish, childish antics. But always get hilarious schadenfreude in the end. Over in Europe and especially the kingdom the closest analog I know is bottom.

    Basically the trump administration would have been Danny Devito’s character slathered in orange. Charlie Day playing a more loveable Eric. Rob McElhaney playing junior as he sees himself. Katlin Olson as ivanka and Glen Howeton as jarred. Different names, same antics.

      Judging by that video, Bottom is like if Mr. Bean talked more and lived with another Bean.

        Honestly for those that know their beans. And let’s face it many on Lemmy do. That’s pretty accurate.
