The irony here is that Benny Johnson and Tim Pool, key popularizer of this secret Politico funding theory, actually were secretly and illegally paid millions of dollars by the Russian government. (They claim they didn't know the money was from Russia.) www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...

Or at least put some restrictions on it, including (as you have suggested) Congressional review.

My Twitter/X feed is still better than here -- both less offensive stuff and less stuff that I'm just not the audience for -- but I've been cultivating it a lot longer, and I think a lot of the personalized moderation features are going to make this place better in short order.

My Twitter/X feed is still better than my bluesky feed, I assume because I've been curating it for longer, but I've done a lot of curating here in the last week.

I don't *think* it's a minority, and it sounds like it might even have just been one person in your group. But I increasingly doubt my ability to judge what's "normal" outside of my circles.
