Paywalled. If you want a response, give me something that isn't. Until then, watch this and stop being a rube. youtu.be/YcxeVkBJTQE?...

The article isn't paywalled for me, either, and is pretty clear on the point. They weren't given a specific script per se, but there were a lot of strings attached that absolutely tarnishes their credibility and ethics. If you're going to be this angry about it, you should at least read it.

I'm not sure why I'm getting a paywall that y'all aren't but I can't read an article that I can't read, so I cant really respond to whatever y'all think you're seeing

the part where people were secretly paid to say specific things, without being allowed to disclose that they were being paid nor say anything the people paying them didn't want them to.

So like... Even Taylor Lorenz, the author of the article, says they were not paid to say specific things. Because she lied. Why does this not bother you

it banned them from saying specific things as well. that's also in the article. that means they were being paid to say specific things.

Except that isn't demonstrated in the article. That's the point.

it's explicitly stated with multiple people giving testimony to that regard. again, i know you don't like the facts. denying them will do you no good.

So to clarify, The allegation is that they will be given money to say things other people told them to, but aren't allowed to say that's what happened. So they told people what they got paid money for saying publicly and aren't allowed to talk about? Are you reading the things you're posting??

some of the people who were offered a spot instead leaked it to the press, because they recognized that it was wrong. they offered testimonial evidence of this dark money group's contract to wired. i genuinely don't understand what argument you're trying to make here.

i mean it comes across like you're pretending there's a paywall to not see the evidence

Oh hey this actually seemed to work for me too, thanks. Someone else linked a version with no paywall as well for anyone unsure how to do this, but yeah, genuinely appreciated

it isn't paywalled for me. it's also full of testimony about the program. i understand you don't want it to be true for some reason, but it is. pretending otherwise just looks gross.
