In recent weeks, there have been a series of stories about the government cracking down on foreign agents allegedly working to influence the 2024 election.
Then the federal government seized several websites it claims were linked to a Russian campaign to circulate disinformation—meaning deliberately spread false information.
They’re trying to maintain a monopoly on it.
First, the intelligence community linked the Iranian government to a hacking of Trump campaign documents.
US officials claim the scheme aimed to inject Russian government messaging across social media using conservative influencers.
Yet nobody in the political establishment condemns what the FBI and DOJ did.
The biggest story came last week when two employees of the Russian media organization RT—formerly Russia Today—were indicted for allegedly sending nearly $10 million to a Tennessee-based online media company.
