Description

A number of prominent Democratic influencers were secretly offered contracts funded by the dark money group 1630 Fund through its project Chorus, paying them thousands per month to push party messaging while prohibiting disclosure of the arrangement. Guest host Misty Winston and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger criticize the hypocrisy of calling this “independent media,” arguing it’s simply undisclosed paid propaganda. They highlight how Democrats, unlike Republicans who’ve built strong influencer ecosystems for years, are scrambling to manufacture online influence while censoring dissent and silencing criticism. The segment frames the scandal as further evidence of corruption, elite manipulation, and the hollowing out of authentic political discourse in favor of scripted shilling.

Always thought Pakman was a shady "character", just bollocks coming out of his paid mouth.
