Dem Influencers EXPOSED As Paid Shills F...

JIMMY DORE
About this episode

A number of prominent Democratic influencers were secretly offered contracts funded by the dark money group 1630 Fund through its project Chorus, paying them thousands per month to push party messaging while prohibiting disclosure of the arrangement. 

Guest host Misty Winston and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger criticize the hypocrisy of calling this "independent media," arguing it's simply undisclosed paid propaganda. They highlight how Democrats, unlike Republicans who've built strong influencer ecosystems for years, are scrambling to manufacture online influence while censoring dissent and silencing criticism. The segment frames the scandal as further evidence of corruption, elite manipulation, and the hollowing out of authentic political discourse in favor of scripted shilling.

Plus segments on the corporate vultures snapping up public utilities and how unhinged Israelis can be about genocide when they think they're only talking to each other.

Also featuring Jimmy Dore and Stef Zamorano!
