Tenet Media was an American right-wing media company founded by conservatives [ 3] [ 4] Lauren Chen and Liam Donovan (her husband) in 2022. Describing itself as a "network of heterodox commentators that focus on western political and cultural issues",[ 5] [ 6] Tenet Media featured six right-wing influencers : Matt Christiansen, Tayler Hansen, Benny Johnson , Tim Pool , Dave Rubin , and Lauren Southern .[ 7] [ 8] [ 9]
In 2024 the U.S. charged two Russian media executives in a $10 million scheme to illegally fund Tenet Media and influence it to promote Russian propaganda.[ 10] The company shut down shortly afterward.
