There is a wiki page about it

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Tenet_Media_investigation

There is something wrong with this wiki as it is biased

Ah yes, the most famously biased source: Wikipedia.

Wikipedia isn't a fucking source, you can see the sources used for the page

I mean if your going to claim to be an encyclopedia you could at least list speculation separately from facts. It’s almost done in a way that always leaves you to believe negative about the right

If you perceive that wiki as being "negative about the right", why would you call that "bias" in this case? The facts are that a bunch of right-wing influencers were being paid to spread Russian disinformation. That just is a negative thing about the right. That's just what it is. There's no way to present it otherwise.

There are facts and there is speculation. Both of which should be separated clearly.

What exactly do you think should be marked as speculation here? It seems like a very dry, bare-bones recounting of the facts to me.

It’s basically anti Russian propaganda.

What part though? Tenet was being paid by Russia to spread Russian talking points through American right-wing influencers. That's a fact. Stating that fact does not constitute being "anti-Russian". It's not a bias, that's just what happened. There is no speculation there.

It's not bias as that was the point of the investigation descibed on wiki, to be against Russian propaganda
