Russia Funds American Influencers, The Apprentice Joins Election-tainment Cycle, and Welcome to NEWSGIRLS!

In the inaugural episode of NEWSGIRLS, Wren & Mabel dive into the Tenet Media scandal (00:38), a DOJ indictment of Russian-government actors who allegedly funded an American influencer network. The newsgirls bring you every salacious detail of the scheme, from the comically fake foreign backer to the disturbing content put out in the wake of a terrorist attack. Then Wren & Mabel give you their thoughts on The Apprentice movie (13:53), the new controversial Trump biopic that almost didn’t make it to theaters. They scrutinize all the ways politics influences entertainment during election cycles. Finally, the newsgirls take a walk down memory lane to the origins of their friendship and how this podcast came to be!
