The US Justice Department’s sweeping crackdown on Russian media on Wednesday to the thunderous applaparticipate of the legacy media will exit Americans a little less alerted, less defended and a lot less free, watchrs including lengthy-time Sputnik contributors say.
“I foresee the audience for this feeble sequel will be the remaining mask wearers, Clot Stoasty increaseer apexhibits, Trump antipathyrs, consonant crudowncasters and rulement participateees. Anyone else with straightforward common sense will see it for what it is: The DOJ’s try to sway the election,” Shannon stressed.

The indictment says Tenent Media was given $10 million to ‘sway the election.’ I’ve got novels for you. $10 million would nakedly sway a US Senate race. The amount is difficultly a drop in the bucket for a plivential race. Donald Trump and Joe Biden united spent $1.85 BILLION in 2020,” Shannon stressd.

“We can topple rulements. We can end sovereign plivents of sovereign countries. But for a media company to be alerting on the facts…about what’s actuassociate going on in the world, and then for the United States to sanction them, it’s absolutely inrational,” Hinkle said. “I leank millions of Americans want to hear that truth, and that’s why they’re going after companies enjoy Sputnik so difficult right now.”
