Funny how fast divisive far right sites are dropping now that the Russian money pipeline is shut down due to sanctions.
Russia has cut back to only funding republican congressmen. Austerity is a bitch.
The sanctions from 2 years ago?
There's a bit of a lag time while money already moved is exhausted. Note how many Republican (and other divisive far left/right) orgs are suddenly running out of money now that they don't have a constant infusion
There are plenty of billionaires in the US funding this. They are declaring bankruptcy because of losing their case against Georgia election interference. Blaming every instance of American fascism on Russia just removes the blame from the actual perpetrators.
¿Por qué no los dos responsables (perpetrators)?
Happy for them, I wish them many more bankruptcies in the future
Apparently they said they weren't broke, that it was fake news and everyone saying they declared bankruptcy was a filthy liberal.
LoL, not broke, just don't want to appear to be too wealthy when those defamation lawsuits start calling.
Good. Gateway Pundit is a name I recognize well from all the shenanigans that happened a few years ago. May they rot.
Damn fox news went bankrupt?
Idiots who go broke failing to scam other idiots are the biggest idiots of all.
Everybody in this thread is talking like this is a good thing, but it's really just a scam to try to weasel out of paying for their defamation.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Gateway Pundit, a rightwing website known for spreading election conspiracies, will declare bankruptcy as it faces lawsuits for defamation.
The site’s parent company, TGP Communications, will file for bankruptcy in Florida “as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet”, founder Jim Hoft wrote on the website.
In a separate case, Freeman and Moss secured a $148m judgment against Rudy Giuliani for spreading election lies about them and defaming them.
Gateway Pundit also faces a suit in Colorado from a former Dominion Voting Systems employee, Eric Coomer, who alleges the outlet defamed him by claiming he rigged the election against Trump.
Election offices have faced waves of harassing messages after Gateway Pundit stories have published, often targeting staff members with threatening and abusive language.
Hoft said that the company seeking bankruptcy protection was “not an admission of fault or culpability”, but instead a way to reorganize and consolidate lawsuits “when attacks are coming from all sides”.

Russia having to spend money on their war?

They forgot to sell "anti-woke" toxins to put in and on your body along with merchandise to advertise what a moronic and shitty person you are.
Womps and Preyers🙏
Go woke go broke?
Of course! All of this was astroturfed by wealthy benefactors who only kept dumping money for the purpose of getting policy out of it.
Awwww… anyway.
OH NO So what's a good way to cook edamame for people who aren't used to eating it?
I steam mine with shank of oligarch. *Chefs kiss
