Tenet Media is an American right-wing media company founded by Lauren Chen and Liam Donovan in January 2022.[1] Tenet Media has featured a number of right-wing influencers,[2] including Matt Christiansen, Tayler Hansen, Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, and Lauren Southern.[2][3]

In 2024, the company was identified by several media sources as matching the description of a company that was the subject of a United States Department of Justice investigation into Russian influence in American media.[4][5] Some of the influencers have responded by claiming to be victims of the Russian disinformation campaign.[4]
