Presuming Americans even want to watch foreign media. Tik-Tok aside, if all right wing voices are hosted on truth.rus can those people truly call themselves right wing? I'm certain there is a class of Americans that would willingly swallow literal Russian propaganda but those people are a minority, and a very small minority on the right. The American right will die if such an arrangement is made, because Americans won't accept Russia Today into their lives for the same reasons they won't accept China Daily. And similarly, if Russia becomes a major political participant the government can and will blacklist all Russian websites categorically by classifying them as publishers and declaring it to be misinformation.
Likewise, imagine the memes of Trump posting from wall.mx or drill.no or americafirst.il. I think most countries would just ban him and not deal with the consequences of hosting a guy who tried to kill the vice president.

Honestly if this comes to pass I wouldn't be surprised if major corps split into us/rest of the world divisions.
Americans will use vpn to see the eu version until that's banned too
