Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

DOJ Indicts Russians over Election Subversion Scheme Involving Social Media “Propaganda” Accounts

HeadlineSep 06, 2024

The Justice Department has accused Moscow of backing a sweeping election interference scheme. On Wednesday, Attorney General Merrick Garland said his agency had seized 32 domains and indicted two Russian nationals for carrying out a $10 million online misinformation campaign to influence U.S. voters. The Justice Department says the state-owned Russia Today, or RT, television network bankrolled the influence campaign. CNN reports the funds were used to operate Tenet Media, which has published 2,000 videos across YouTube and other social media sites since it launched late last year. Tenet’s six far-right, Trump-supporting commentators have millions of online followers.
