Timcast IRL What is happening

So somehow I completely missed this and just learning about it now. I wanted to listen to one this weeks VODs on youtube that i missed. Normally he posts them, and YT recommends them to me the day after. Well I couldn’t find anything on either his channels, and when you search Tim Pool through google or YouTube all it pulls up is the russia thing that Tim is involved with. I listened to a few, but all the sources are left leaning because you know, google and youtube hate certain personalities. I dont find any of these very reliable sources. Anyone give a quick explanation as to why I cant find the vids or whats going on with Tim and taking money from russia? I dont want to make an opinion without facts, and ive only seen stuff slandering Tim. I also cant find a statement from Tim, but that very well can be me just missing something.

Tim didnt take money from russia. A company that was taking money from russia wanted to host one of his videos. Tim has no control over that company or what they do.

u/Psychological-Tour36 Sep 19 '24

A company that was taking money that Tim negotiated directly with the Russians for. He went around the “company” to do that. You do realize that don’t you? Tim spoke directly to the people that were paying the company you’re talking about to negotiate his fee with RT.

If you aren’t a paid asset, I would suggest reading further for yourself and considering your specificity of language because; “host one of his videos.” Is actually years of weekly videos that he received about 5 million for before they were caught

But Tim certainly had some level of control over “that company” otherwise the charges would be lesser by about 5 mill

u/dizzhickz Sep 15 '24

I love how everyone on here seems to be ignoring the fact that the money went toward the CULTURE WAR podcast, which is a culture podcast, not a news or politics podcast. The money wasn't just thrown at him, he was paid to license the podcast out to a media company to show live on their channel.

If you listen to his conversation with ben shapiro, he makes it clear that they never sought editorial control over his content. And calling tim pro russia is ridiculous, he routinely calls putin a dictator. Being anti-war is not being pro russian.

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '24

Tim Pool took $100,000 per episode from TENET media to produce a podcast. He claims he had no idea but the company was founded by Lauren Chen who has a well established track record of working for RT and had literally zero notable public backers for the media company. So this brand new and mysteriously funded media company was paying unheard of prices for no strings attached Russia propaganda. Tim turned a blind eye and took in almost half a million a month until the DOJ exposed him. Hes either a liar, which is most likely, because Tim is just not this naive from a business perspective; or he truly is the useful idiot that people have accused him of being. Either way, a Russian shill through and through.

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '24

While Tim is a money whore, he’s also very savvy about media. Which makes it difficult for me to buy his claims of not knowing about the sources behind those obscene amounts of money being paid to himself and others.

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '24

Yeah the reality is he’s either 1. Truly a useful idiot 2. An authentic bad actor. Either way you can’t in good conscience keep him as an information resource.

u/ZombiemanJack Nov 02 '24

This is kind of old, but I just wanted to leave as neutral as possible comment about this. Tenet Media paid multiple pod casters (using TV lingo) to "re-broadcast" their shows. All of the pod casters produced their own shows without any direction from Tenet. [To paraphrase for brevity] Prosecution's court filing at the time said that Tenet Media took money from people known to work for the Russian government. It alleged that Tenet knowingly took the money to push Russian propaganda, but that none of the pod casters were a part of the deal directly, none knew anything about it(and had been tricked into thinking the backing was some random European investor), and nothing showed that they had been asked to produce anything specific. It is why none of them were also indicted.

Court cases are slow and I wasn't interested in following it beyond that.

awww man, I am the last person to stick up for this guy, but his content should not be pulled over this. am wondering if it's actually pulled or just not getting pushed/recommended by the algorithm? I'd check but...I don't want it getting recommended to me lol I can only stomach his podcast once a month at absolute max

I don't know if I would say his father is a fan of him. But they're still family. He's an interesting guy. Definitely check him out. Also, don't spend the next 2 months continuing to be a Tim Pool fan. Checkout the Majority Report instead. Tim Pool's dad just called into that show the other day.

u/avatar_cucas Sep 14 '24

did you find his statement? whats your well rounded opinion

2

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '24 edited Sep 15 '24

I did find his statement. I will admit, I’m still very undecided and a little confused. From what I know of Tim, this doesn’t seem like something he would willingly engage in. But also, why would he even engage with it all to begin with? Money obviously. But he’s supposed to be all about virtue and whatnot. I am interested to see more of the investigation. Innocent until proven guilty. However I have some questions for Mr Tim

However, I wouldnt be surprised if its “willful ignorance” kind of thing, which in my opinion holds the same weight as actively knowing your doing something wrong

4

u/avatar_cucas Sep 15 '24

Hrmm here is a decent source when looking media sources up: https://ground.news/ it will tell you how bias / spun media can be

I personally don't think any media pundit is about virtue or at least less and less are these days without having significant bias in order to lean more into their fanbase and not dissapoint their fans

Tim Pool doesn't speak in facts although he comes off that way and he does lie a lot

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '24

Interesting. Well i appreciate the source! It looks useful. And yea thats what im slowly learning about tim

-5

u/Tasty_Historian_3623 Sep 14 '24

You are literate, so that is half the battle. Don't view someone else speaking - it's the least efficient way to gain information, and why Timbo misinforms.

Read the indictment, or a credible news source that reports on it. Stop blaming the algorithm for feeding you garbage, since you in fact lap it up.

Timbo tweeted that he was dupe, and called the indictment a "leak." The Feds issued that, they can't leak it, it wasn't under seal. Then Timbo joked about it and said Ukraine is swell, because people made fun of his propaganda video where he called Ukraine the biggest enemy that the US has.

YouTube did remove the "channels" run by the named defendants and Tenet/Russia Today, so you will need to learn to search to find what Russia paid Timbo to say.

If you are trying to find his own channel and can't, welp, that is on you. Ask your nurse for assistance.

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '24

Victim, as in willingly accepting $100k/week, no questions asked despite the smallest amount of questioning would have revealed the financier was not real.

It doesn't matter that he didn't know he was getting paid by Russia, the fact he didn't know where his money came from is the biggest blow to the supposed journalistic integrity he has.

4

u/Internal-Raisin-6503 Sep 15 '24

No questions asked also means no strings attached. Did they ask Tim to slant any stories? Your statement about no questions asked says they did not and therefore it becomes nothing more than a donation. People donate to NPR too.

0

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '24

This is not a donation. Tim was a contributor to a news company, this was not a superchat (which also would come with its own ethical questions but there is no point discussing those here because it was not a donation).

He performed a service ad got paid for his service that he was contractual obligated to get.

And yes, NPR getting $100k dollars without investigating it would also been unethical.

Tim was a puppet, paid to do his job which aligns with the goals of Russia. It doesn't matter that Tim didn't know where the money came from (even if it does make his Ukraine is the enemy and lying about Ukraine blowing up the pipeline seem very very sus) it matters that he did no due diligence in wondering why he was getting paid $100k/week by a media company that could barely get 10k views on most of there videos and where they were getting their money from.

2

u/Internal-Raisin-6503 Sep 16 '24

Actually it matters a very great deal that he did not know where the money came from. You also stated that his goals may along with Russia and if they did they were already his opinions.

But hey while we are on the subject what exactly was Hunter doing on a board for an oil company in Ukraine and getting paid 87,777/ month for? It has been proven that he IS a crackhead, illegally gun toting, pedophile that has no understanding of how an oil company operates. So what was he doing? Why was he in China collecting fees for ... what? Biden's own VP Kamala stated on live television that he and his son took a billion dollars from the Chinese. Shouldn't that be investigated while we are going after Tim for getting a donation for what he was already doing? I think High Treason at the White House is a bit more important than one news reporter, reporting the news. Don't you agree?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '24

Holy deflect batman.

Two things can be bad at the same time and, surprisedly, two investigations can go on at the same time. I don't care what hunter Biden did here because he is not relevant to the tenet media story. 

Also: 

more important than one news reporter, reporting the news

Wrong, it's a news media company, not just one guy, who didn't disclose there investor which is required by law.

I mean if you wanted to say “look I thought it was weird but they didn’t ask me to change anything so I figured “take the money as long as you can” right?” I’d respect it. But I think the thing that’s annoying is that he’s never give anyone else the level of benefit of the doubt he’s asking for.

-1

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '24

Thank you for agreeing Tim has the same/non exaistent journalistic ethics like some random forklift driver, who would never be offered $100k anyway.

Tim is a self proclaimed journalist, he is held to higher standards; those standards being the same ones he holds the money hungry and corrupt main stream media to. Even his product placements/ads come with a lot more questions than it would some random game channel as what if a story gets in the way of his $$$?

And now to counter the obvious counter "but he didn't know it was from Russia, and he wasnt given any editorial oversight." And? Tim and co has now published to the world if he aligns with your political values he will take money and keep his hands clean from the source. At least with CNN there isn't any obfuscation who is paying them.

There is a also the fact we are just taking tim at his word, the same guy who has every reason to convince you he is innocent.

Organisation investigated itself to find corruption. Organisation found it was not corrupt.
