这些保守派评论员工资好高，一月40万，签合同时另外10万奖金。
The indictment shows that some of the influencers were paid handsomely for their work. One unidentified influencer’s contract included a $400,000 monthly fee, a $100,000 signing bonus and an additional performance bonus.
Tenet Media’s shows in recent months have featured high-profile conservative guests, including Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump, former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake. The nearly 2,000 videos posted by the company have gotten more than 16 million views on YouTube alone, prosecutors said.

原来这些保守派评论员，Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, Lauren Southern, Taylor Hansen and Matt Christiansen，都是拿俄罗斯的钱。
The DOJ’s indictment does not name the “Tennessee-based online content creation company” that received the Russian funding, but the description matches Tenet Media, which describes itself as a “network of heterodox commentators that focus on Western political and cultural issues.”
Tenet’s website lists six prominent right-wing social media personalities—Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, Lauren Southern, Taylor Hansen and Matt Christiansen—as part of its talent roster.
The DOJ’s indictment alleges two Russian state media employees covertly poured $10 million into the company to publish English-language videos on various social media platforms spouting views that are “often consistent with the Government of Russia's interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions.”
Tenet’s YouTube channel, which has more than 315,000 subscribers, features segments from Pool, Johnson and Christiansen’s online shows mostly focussing on conservative political and culture war issues.
