"I didn't know the people that were paying me 100k per video were suspicious!"
This should end his career, but won't because the current right winged audience never holds their own figures accountable for anything.
I work with kids and one kid showed me a youtube channel about squeezing slime. It's just nonstop videos of someone squeezing various types of slime in a bowl.
I noticed that it have tens of millions of subscribers. So, whoever makes that channel is swimming in money. Meanwhile, I assume they aren't some media genius and are just making money almost by magic. So, is a person like that supposed to understand the business they are in?
I doubt it and the same goes for most youtube people I have seen.

I don't watch youtube channels like he has because I don't need anyone to tell me my opinions, but I have seen his a couple of times.
I'm skeptical that he knew he was taking Russian funds.
I watch other channels where the host is just some average guy with an idea. For instance, there's Stealth Camping with Steve Wallis, which is amusing to me. He has sponsors and he's just a guy who used to live in a camper and is likely doing really well from his channel. If he had a bad sponsor, I doubt that he would know about it because he probably lacks the business knowledge to know it and is just happy for the money.
I work in mental health and have some dreams about things I would do if I had the money. If Epstein invited me to the island to talk about a grant, I would go. I wouldn't have investigated his past of anything because I'd be excited.
So, I'm skeptical that people like Pool completely knew who they were getting money from.
I also enjoy RT News, Russian, because at times it's amusing, interesting, and provides insights I know are propagandaish about the US. Many of their news posts on Facebooks are very humorous and I enjoy them.
A good covert operation is not going to be clearly one, so I'm not in the condemnation camp.
And so what if they knew who they were getting money from?
shareIt's illegal for foreign agents to spread propaganda in the US.
In this case, it was positive propaganda for Republicans, so that puts a twist on that law. Typically, it would be anti-US propaganda, not Pro-US as in this case.
The Russian CIA is called the SVR and I DOUBT they announced themselves to these youtube hosts and being that. Our US CIA doesn't tell people they are using who they are, so why would the Russians?
The CIA has even used movie makers as fronts for operations. So, how many people guessed that they were making a movie as a front?
I assume none.
The Russians have RT news, which I think is fun and interesting to watch. They have good news segments and criticism of the US, which is important to US citizens, as it's all part of free speech. I believe some of these YouTubers were approached by RT people, unless I misunderstood.
In addition, only the media says Russia is our enemy. There's zero reason why they should be and in their entire history they have done next to nothing to the US. So, if I was asked to help the Russian government in some why I saw positive, I might.
I wouldn't do that now though, lol.
Russian Tool because he's not pushing the narrative? Get life in prison because he's not pushing the narrative?
shareOr maybe its because he accepted thousands to spread Russian propaganda saying things like "Ukraine is the enemy of the people"
shareThankfully, we have the first amendment to protect people from going to prison for life for the crime of offending you.
shareDoesn't matter. He is a traitor.
shareAs a lawyer would say, "assumes facts not in evidence." Pool, and Dave Rubin, and the others named in this accusation are all on record saying they were unaware the ultimate source of the information was Russia; that Tenet media, which is the company that paid Pool and Rubin, never disclosed its ties to Russia, and none of the content that Pool or Rubin ever produced was "pro-Russia." You are choosing to put the harshest possible interpretation on events, and it's abundantly clear that you are doing so out of political bias.
It kills me how you leftists squawk about "protecting our democracy," when you are the ones threatening it. Jailing your political opponents for life is not the sort of thing that happens in a functioning democracy, but you seem A-okay with it.
Tim literally has a video of him saying "Ukraine is the enemy of the people". You really think he was that naive that he didn't know where the money was coming from to be spouting that kind of rhetoric.
shareLots of people think that without being in the pay of the Russians. They look at Ukraine and see a corrupt government, a president who ended elections, and an endless drain on the U.S. taxpayer that risks drawing up more directly into a war with the country that has more nuclear warheads than any other on earth, and they see that Zelensky would like to draw us in more deeply.
This is not not an unreasonable view to hold.
I suspect that Pool would dislike seeing Russia achieve its war aims, of expanding its territory at Ukraine's expense, just as I would -- Russia is the aggressor here, after all, and no reasonable person likes to see armed aggression rewarded. But like many, he does not see it in our interest to keep propping up Zelensky, and does not see any possibility of us forcing Russia back over her pre-2021, never mind pre-2014 borders. Realpolitik dictates Ukraine, and the rest of the world, is probably going to have to accept at least a partial Russian victory at some point, and it's more in our interest to get Ukraine to come to terms with the need to reach a negotiated settlement, rather than keep the war going.
