And even if we buy that morons like Tim Pool were unaware, what does that say about their "journalistic" integrity? (Lmfao at labelling Tim Pool as a journalist though). Just shows that they accepted hundreds of thousands of $ to spew bullshit propaganda and they couldn't even be bothered to check their sources validity or the validity of what they were saying. You'd get the same level of journalism from a parrot which is made to repeat words in a sentence. Tim Pool straight up labelled Ukraine as the biggest threat to America and said the war began because of the NordStream attack, an attack which happened half a year after the war began, you don't have to be a genius to know that an event which happened after a war began is not what caused a war to start. Someone this fucking dumb has no right to be a journalist and talking about world events. |
What is the legal penalty for collaborating with hostile foreign agents?
At one point it was life in prison, but my only source to go on this is the 1946 Hitchcock film Notorious :D |
Likely nothing. As Ryuu said, it may have been different if the US was in an active and direct conflict with Russia, but at present they are not, so whilst we may mock them as being less than journalists they likely can claim right the disseminate their pro-Russia stories under the First amendment. Even the election interference one is likely to be a hard-sell as whilst I believe there is a law about election candidates getting foreign funding I don’t think any of these people are working for a candidate in an official capacity.
That will be why the US is going after the financiers, as they wouldn’t have such protection.
