Tenet Media, launched in 2023, was founded by conservative influencer Lauren Chen and her husband Liam Donovan.
Does this then mean that Tenet Media could be connected to the alleged Russia propaganda operation the DoJ is now investigating?
In the Post report above, when it comes to this supposed Russian finding, lots of Tenet's top talent claim they "did not know the money was coming from Russia.” But prosecutors are indeed claiming that bigwigs like Chen and her husband surely knew where their funding was originating and even “privately acknowledged in messages to each other that their backers were Russian.”
Last week, YouTube terminated Tenet Media and another four channels linked to Lauren Chen. They released a statement saying: “Following an indictment from the US Department of Justice and after careful review, we are terminating the Tenet Media channel and four channels operated by its owner Lauren Chen as part of our ongoing efforts to combat coordinated influence operations.”
Chen, who also worked as a contributor for Glenn Beck’s BlazeTV has also seen her contract terminated with Beck’s baby.
Epidemic?
According to this CNN report, the talent amassed across Tenet has brought in over six million YouTube subscribers. But the same report reveals how deeply the Russian connection might lay in Tenet and how there is much more to Tenet’s stance beyond just the eradication of porn.
In the above CNN piece, Nina Jankowicz, a co-founder of the American Sunlight Project, states what we all should be aware of when it comes to any and all media outfits these days… “they post rage bait that will perform well, rake in views and likes, and make their ‘producers’ happy.”
