I am a UK watcher. So you can totally discard this. But get as many people on the ground talking to those in the LA fires exposing the lies, talking to the fire fighters etc.
Also, more coverage of how other countries are fighting the right wing in their own countries may just show that no one is alone in the fight for democracy!

Thanks again for all you do! Best channel on YouTube! We need the equivalent in the UK so please expand eventually 😅
That kind of boots-on-the-ground reporting is the best way to counter disinformation - even when it's unintentional. I'm still chuckling over Musk's own goal the other day when he 'interviewed' firefighters about 'how bad Newsom's response has been' and got his backside handed to him.
I’m glad to see that Canadians join this Meidas Touch Network. I am also glad this net work channel stopped showing Donald Trump‘s face & his voice. It’s very upsetting to me. I trust Meidas Touch Network to give me the most accurate and honest information. Kamala Harris supporter here.
Thank goodness!!! From Detroit!! Been watching CBC but need some more sane talking Canadian input here. Too much yak yak from our still fighting the civil war southern states.
Thank you for fighting against your own version of MAGA in the UK. Farage is the same kind of jumped-up street hustler and Putin-backed carny barker as The Felon. But, sadly, the appeal of those types can't be underestimated, especially when a large part of society are looking for someone else to blame for the mediocrity of their lives.
Let's get our priorities in order. Who cares if FAUX is #1 as long as we have Meidas to turn to as the alternative to all the lies? This isn't a race, it's a marathon. You've come so far so fast there is no doubt that you will out run FAUX soon.
Love the UK. My mom was born and raised in England. I was born & raised here in Michigan. She is 93 years old & very upset and very saddened by what the new presidential administration will be doing & is already doing…. Destroying the United States and our reputation on the world stage. I wish things aren’t the way they are. I don’t sit back and do nothing. I write letters to congress and senate protesting Donald Trump’s cabinet picks and his policies that he will be implemented in 2025 for Americans. Take care.
WXCELLENT IDEA, boots on the ground getting first person accounts. News, is mostly local, here on the East Coast - I do not see the news about the fires, unless it is the "evening" news where I get 3 minutes about the fire and 10 mins about TFG.
Writing from Germany where a party that comprises many neonazis is gaining more and more voters (with a little help of their friend Elon and associated sycophants...), I can only echo what you are saying - we need something like Meidas in Germany, too!
We still have a very critical and diverse press landscape, but I have the feeling that the rejection of the AfD (the very rights party including many authoritarian-loving, Putin-, Orban-, Trump-friendly and often nazi-style members and voters) is not as strong as it has been. There is already something of a both-siding going on. This is also the fault of the weakness and lack of competence of the old parties, but it is therefore not less spooky.
My very old parents who are extremely grateful for the allied forces liberating Germany are wringing their hands and saying that they would never had thought something like that would ever happen again, not in Germany and not - almost everywhere - in the whole world.
Voices like those of the Meidas Touch network contributors are getting more important by the day! Worldwide! There should be (no, there needs to be) an organised network exposing almost in real-time Fox's lies almost and those of their political representatives, i.e. the Republicans and similar parties members from other countries.
I 💯 agree with you. It shocks me that the AfD and parties like it (in the UK we have Reform) are not called out on the lack of facts, their hateful rhetoric and the lack of knowledge when it actually comes to government policy and economics!! We need to call them out!! I also hope that the EU swiftly ban twitter in favour of blue sky and any other platform that has promote disinformation!
Many users (also institutions, such as universitities, journalistic groups, the German Ministry of Defence,...) are leaving X. What I am worried about at the moment is that Elon, Trump, and the like would take over TikTok!
So many countries are suffering the rise of far right koo koo's. I LOVE the idea of a united alternative that believes in the power of the individual and "all the freedoms" vs. an authoritarian state.... like the NATO nations have done to support Ukraine's efforts to defend itself--but including people from other countries with the same challenge even if not in NATO? Maybe MTN is a good place to start, and if so we must all up our game in attracting more subscribers (from all over).
There needs to be far more unity with the the progressive anti-Trump YOUTUBE channels.
Ring of Fire:David Pakman:Damage Report.........WW2 was won because many countries formed the Allies.........FOX NEWs is just a part of the nazi-axis forces.
IHIPNEWS....for sure should be broght into the Allied coalition. MTN should be given a leadership role for sure. This should have been done already........
A more affordable pathway for seniors on social assistance should be created.
Those that can afford being a founder should do it.
JUST came across this group whose goal is to push back on orange 2.0... don't know much about them yet but looks interesting.....MTN probably well aware already.... This excerpt is from a Politico / West wing 1-16-25 article abou them : . . . . . THE RESISTANCE COMETH: Former Biden-Harris officials will help launch on Inauguration Day a new legal response center to bolster the fight against Trump’s impending executive orders, our MYAH WARD reports. The new effort, funded by the national legal organization Democracy Forward — formed in 2017 during Trump’s first term — will analyze the president-elect’s executive orders to support legal and political challenges to his agenda.
The group, which announced the effort Thursday, has already identified more than 200 “emerging threats” that the orders pose.
Agree entirely with this sentiment, but please include Ireland also when you expand to UK 🤣 We love our brothers & sisters in our neighbouring country, but we are different.
Another Brit here! I agree - you’re doing a good job for a lot of countries- not just the USA. Suggested interviews - Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Glenn Kirshner, Robert Reich, Chris Cuomo, Michelle Obama, David Parkman.
Get an interview with Michelle Obama. That should push Fox over the edge altogether. As an extra plus it also will get some of the other "good picks and picker" to go nuts. Maybe a group interview with Michelle Obama, AOC, Liz Chaney, Hillary Clinton and a few other women leaders together and watch them kick some backside for sure. That group of women should really start a seismic eruption of macho Republican men. Of course they are only macho when they are raping, grabbing, drugging, photographing the victims and showing the photos around or bragging about doing this. To think the Orange menace bragged about doing adult things with his own daughter! Get those women to do an interview please.
Great ideas! I’m happy about Midas touch as well because they give you the absolute and clear truth. Fox News disgusts me. All they do is lie and lie and twist things to mislead people. They are a horrible news media outlet. Very right wing hosts.
Why would we discard you?! I certainly agree with you, keep exposing the lies about the CA fire in response to Fox! This tragedy is what brought out the hate that fueled Fox and their hateful followers!
For anyone to disregard your input would be a great miscarriage of journalistic responsibility. I agree with your direction 💯 %. Thanks for your support.

That was fun to watch
This. Sometimes it takes someone outside our own democracy to point out where we can improve.
People all over the free world realize it's FOX who is broadcasting the fake news. The cult won't even think about that. :(
Great idea! We have our struggles here in Canada.

I wholeheartedly agree with you Martin. Seeing his face, hearing his voice gets my nerves rattled.
Been sick of it since 2015.
They're workin on Canadian Meidas coming soon Anna!
Thank goodness!!! From Detroit!! Been watching CBC but need some more sane talking Canadian input here. Too much yak yak from our still fighting the civil war southern states.
Yeah, Piss Pot Poilievre, Dump’s mini-me.
Also in the UK fighting Reform Ltd (Trzmpism)!

We stand with you UK! We must get rid of MAGA or the culture of MAGA
This 100%

I’m keeping everything crossed that that doesn’t happen. It’s can’t be legal to have that kind of monopoly!
YEP. I fear they'll see it as just one more way to spread bad lies and propaganda . .https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/17/tech/tiktok-getting-banned-trump-biden/index.html

Great News!!! Will check out Democracy Forward online definatly.
Resistance to Orange Hitler is going to be tough and nasty. Tomorrow, with the Peoples March we move on from the angst of the election.
Have been reading ..."Defying HItler...The Germans who resisted Nazi Rule"
We now are living proof that "History repeats itself.".........Democracy, in North America and accross the oceans will defeat and crush the Maggots!!!
Just wrote about Senior Discount. Agree.
Agree entirely with this sentiment, but please include Ireland also when you expand to UK 🤣 We love our brothers & sisters in our neighbouring country, but we are different.
Thanks for that comment.
I'll volunteer to head to the UK. :)
Yes, I'll take The Bahamas bureau.

Great first suggestion there! Feet on the ground.
These are GREAT IDEAS!
I like those suggestions, hope they get used! We are not in a dissimilar place than other countries.
