I'm subbed to tenet media on YouTube and although I mostly only watch Matt Christiansen, scrolling thru their vids I don't think I've ever seen nor heard any pro Russia sentiment.
Yeah, it's just a smear using (at best) half-truths. If there was Russian involvement, and assuming they weren't CIA assets...the creators themselves didn't even know.
This is an attack on these creators, by the DOJ, not an attack by Russia on the US and Our Democracy.
I wouldn't be shocked if there was some truth involved, as it's easier to work with partial truths than outright lies, but this is likely an attack to discredit the biggest names (Tim Pool and Benny Johnson), not an honest attempt by a foreign power to trick Tim Pool and Benny Johnson into spreading their propaganda. The whole point is to get the word out there, and then use the media (who can lie even easier than the government) to run with those half truths and turn the narrative into these people being outright foreign assets.
The other strange thing about this whole thing is that Tenet media was very fledgling with hardly any reach at this point.
The only thing successful on their network with any views was Tim Pool's Culture War. I don't watch it personally. And it was an existing product pre-Tenet licensed to the platform.
I too followed Tenet for Matt Christiansen.
The problem is that existing fans of the creator get annoyed following the MCN for their preferred content while getting flooded by other unwanted notifications while subbed to the rest of the garbage on the channel.
Matt has a small but loyal and longtime audience. I feel like a lot of them haven't followed him over to Tenet for his new Wednesday solo hour simply because remaining subscribed to Tenet is annoying.
There's also the factor that Matt is a lot drier without Blonde (and also without the eye candy). But Blonde is pretty much completely checked out as a mother of two who is hitting the wall with a well-off husband (though still does 2+ hours a week on their Sunday show, where Matt does all the prep anyhow).

Sounds about as legit as Trump being a spy

The whole concept is laughable.
