Conservative influencers say they are ‘victims’ of Russian disinformation

[Dr. Anthony J. Toole]

The fake news is full of fake stories today about fake conservative media outlets receiving millions of fake dollars in a fake disinformation campaign led by fake Russian news organization RT to push fake Russian narratives. Several fake media celebrities have released fake statements about their falsified involvement:

[Tim] Pool, a popular podcaster with more than 2 million followers on X, said “should these allegations prove true, I as well as the other personalities and commentators were deceived and are victims.”

“Never at any point did anyone other than I have full editorial control of the show and the contents of the show are often apolitical.”

Here is a video of Tim exerting full editorial control of the show based on his nuanced understanding, first-hand experience and junior high school diploma in the arena of commercial podcasting international geopolitics.

Ukraine is the enemy of [the US]. Ukraine is our enemy. Being funded by the Democrats, I will stress again, one of the greatest enemies of our nation right now is Ukraine. They are expanding this war. Now, don’t get me wrong. I know you’ve got criminal elements of the US government pushing them and guiding them and telling them what to do.
...
Ukraine is the greatest threat to this nation and to the world. We should rescind all funding and financing, pull out all military support, and we should apologize to Russia.

I'm worried about Tim's rights right now. The entire fake news industry is rubbing its hands with glee. What about Tim's right to free speech? He is allowed to say anything that Russia pays him to say - that's the law.

Finally, the difference between Democrats and Republicans can be seen. We can see in Ukraine it may be necessary for Republicans to take up arms against the army of the Democrats, Ukraine's army.

I think the main difference between Democrats and Republicans is that we do our own research, while the Democrats believe whatever the government says. There's a wealth of free, well-produced content on sites like Youtube to help us.
