Fox News Wants Meidas Shut Down for Exposing Trump

By Ben Meiselas

Fox News just launched another attack on MeidasTouch. We need your help to fight back. Please become a subscriber to this Substack today if you can. Here’s what happened with Fox.

We reported more this week on Donald Trump’s cognitive decline.

We focused on his erratic public behavior, his imaginary conversations, his publicly manifested delusions, and his inability to form basic sentences.

It all seems pretty obvious to us.

This made Fox News livid that we would dare report on these things and back it up with receipts. Their executives were pissed. The White House was pissed. Murdoch was livid.

Fox was particularly angry about our interview with Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who agreed with us that serious questions should be asked about whether Trump is physically and mentally fit to hold office.

This did not sit well with Fox.

All throughout the day yesterday, Fox News attacked us for bringing up Trump’s mental decline.

They were livid with us.

For example, Will Cain on his Fox show attacked us and called it ludicrous that we would even ask questions about Trump’s mental decline to Leader Jeffries—and that he responded there were indeed valid concerns about Trump’s cognitive abilities.

Fox got a rude awakening when Democratic Congressman Dan Goldman went on the Will Cain show and was shown our interview with Leader Jeffries.

Congressman Goldman reacted to our clip by telling Fox he wasn’t sure if Trump was even fit to survive a challenge under the 25th Amendment if the Cabinet actually did its job.

The MeidasTouch reporting on Trump’s cognitive decline became a national story yesterday and was discussed ALL DAY on Fox as they tried to attack us—and failed miserably.

It is so obvious that Trump has been having cognitive issues for a long time now and that his issues have been accelerating recently.

The corporate news refuses to cover it and instead wants to malign former President Biden, who provided steady leadership.

I remember not so long ago when Rupert Murdoch once had his spokesperson say it was “laughable” that MeidasTouch was beating Fox in digital ratings—and then privately plotted to shut Meidas down. (Remember to add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.)

We know that Murdoch and Trump talk about going after us and independent media.

We know Murdoch despises Meidas and how this network was built with the help of our subscribers to this Substack.

Murdoch’s attacks on Meidas backfired. While they thought they were attacking us, Fox spent the whole day covering Trump’s decline and the 25th Amendment—which I’m sure the audience just loved.

Between Trump attacking us, Fox attacking us, and their followers attacking us—we must be doing something right.

We know they will continue to accelerate their attacks on us.

We really need your help.
