Crime Russian influence campaign, yup all those right wing grifting dorks!

She was a senator and then secretary of state, and then presidential candidate. I like how you idiots apparently never stopped to ask yourself why you keep getting candidates that "no one fucking likes", but who do take heaps of cash from big banks and special interest groups.



And sure, Rachel Maddow makes $30 million/year for a part time job doing 1 show per week, Anderson Cooper makes $20 million, Wolf Blitzer makes $15 milion Jake Tapper makes $9 million, Joy Reid gets $1.5 million for poor ratings.
Those are all members of establishment media, they aren't progressive by hardly any metric. Nice try bone head.

Who's "progressive" then? Is Brian Tyler Cohen "progressive"? He has about the same number of subscribers as Dave Rubin and his youtube channel is bringing in about $140k/week.


 
No, they aren't asked if they want to go to "blue cities". Most migrants wouldn't know wtf you are talking about about "blue cities". Take a step outside your bubble.

Texas gets extra federal funding to handle the border. If they don't want the job we should remove the funding. Give them open borders for real.
That funding should be sent here to NYC. It's going to cost a lot more money but Abbott gets so much more partisan clout bussing them here it's worth it to the taxpayer. <mma4>

This is public info, Brian Tyler Cohen is getting nearly 3x the monthly views. 140k would be the extreme high end of what he might earn from ad revenue share.



Not that it matters anyway. Their ad revenue per week doesn't matter. They didn't get paid for some return on ad revenue share, it was to license their content to another channel that barely got any views at all. Their weekly ad revenue wouldn't be more than a factor in considering the prices for such a pointless license not the price of the pointless license agreement.

This organization was targeted by Russian intelligence to pump full of cash to amplify and influence their message.

secular talk and breaking points are progressives. and neither one has ever talked to a donor corporation or takes any money from anyone except the viewers. they do get revenue from random adds placed on their shows by YouTube but they have no knowledge of or say in what those adds would be.

the progressive criticism of people like pool is not that they knowingly serve Russia but that they pretend to be independent media but still take MASSIVE amounts of money from parties with partisan interests in what content they put out. and the criticism is just that they should not pretend to be different than corporate media when they are getting money like that. there is also the criticism that the kind of money they were getting 100000 an episode should have made any intelligent person skeptical.
 
On youtube, while Rubin also has another 600k subscribers on rumble.

Subscribers don't mean dick, it's about actual views and engagement. Any loser, even you, can bot hundreds of thousands of followers for a price. Majority of people that watch videos on youtube don't subscribe to the channels they are watching.
 
my question for any democrats is what GOOD did it do for Russia to fund people like pool if he was already sharing the views they stared supporting. is it suggested that it caused him to do more segments like that or to strengthen his message on certain topics?


I wonder if anyone will do a deep dive analysis of the content from pool for example before and after the money started to flow in.

Well that's certainly not true. Krystal and Sagar made their name from being on The Hill that was funded by billionaires and had the partisan interest of being owned by a major democrat donor until it was bought for $130 million, and secular talk licensed his show to TYT for years who take money from all kinds of sketchy places.

Independent means you run your own show and are not an employee of anyone else. They signed a non exclusive licensing contract with no editorial control and continued running their own shows on their own channels. Nobody has made a very strong case for why they should give a shit who donates to the company paying them.

whoa man!!! why are you so adversarial? its impossible to even talk to you sometimes....

and it is true. BREAKING POINTS does not take any advertisers dollars and SECULAR TALK has also never talked to an advertiser. don't lie and pretend that the hill is breaking points man,..... that's just bad faith. YOU asked the question (who are the progressives) and I gave two examples. you don't have to be a cunt in every exchange man. its shocking.. I'll come to you with good will (like with that secular talk video recently) really wanting to get your take and your so pissed off and toxic that you shit all over the discussion. your so toxic that you cant even tell when someone genuinely wants your perspective on things......

Money is an incentive. They were being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for basically nothing. They weren't sharing the ad revenue, they weren't sharing merch sales, they weren't doing anything extra except what they were already doing and then sometimes running stories about suggested topics.

This was more money than most of the creators involved ever made for their content and it served as positive reinforcement to just keep doing what they were doing, but at larger scale.

These guys are fucking retards, retards like money. It's really that simple.

What if I told you that next week you I'll pay you $100k extra per week for no extra effort on your part? Sounds like a great deal if you're a retard doesn't it?

im slow and not following your point though. are you saying it did or did not make any difference in their programming?

nobody seems to be directly addressing this directly in commentary I've read or watched on YouTube. and if it did NOT directly effect their content why in the hell did the Russians bother funding it.

The money provided the incentive to continue pursuing that type of content they were already exploring AND they also suggested topics that they wanted to be pushed.

In particular they have discord logs of the Russians getting them to cover the Tucker Carlson trip to the Russian supermarket.

The point is instead of peddling any old bullshit, Pool was peddling the bullshit they wanted spread at that particular moment for whatever purpose.
 
yes. Jerome Powell who was selected by Trump said the statement inflation was transitionary, that’s a fact.


Trump also signed the Covid act himself you dumbass

No; you either can't read or didn't read the article:

WASHINGTON, July 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday said an increase in prices was expected to be temporary, but his administration understood that unchecked inflation over the longer term would pose a "real challenge" to the economy and would remain vigilant.

Biden said he told Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell recently that the Fed was independent and should take whatever steps it deems necessary to support a strong, durable recovery.


You ignorant ass, the article is talking about the America Rescue Plan Act of 2021 where Obama's economist said if they passed it it would kick up inflation.
 
Only blue cities, why no red city option? How many do you think would pick Miami if it was a choice?

Florida said they don't want them.

The better question is why was it "not a problem" when Texas was the one dealing with it. Send a few to NY and Chicago then even democrats are saying something needs to be done.

Your statement was that the migrants picked those blue cities. What other option did they have?

It was a problem that could be dealt with much more economically if Abbott didn't spend money to bus these people to high cost of living areas for political clout. These migrants aren't going to disappear but it seems Republican led States want perceived future Democrat voters shipped out no matter the cost.
 
And they have a faster growing economy.
