The Mad Centrist - The political podcast for the rest of us.
The MAD Centrist – named after the Kurt Vonnegut quote from The Monkey House, “A sane person to an insane society must appear insane.”
A social media production company, with 2,000 videos watched by 16 million pairs of eyeballs, has been indicted for being a Russian Influence campaign operation! The right-wing media operation was putting out 'news' and opinion with a Russian-directed slant, with some big names in the right-wing ecosystem being caught up in the mess.
How did it happen? And is this the only Russian influence operation? Tune in and learn more about the Department of Justice indictment that was unsealed September 4th, 2024.
