I WILL NOT Apologize for Our Coverage This Weekend!!
By Ben Meiselas
We are covering all the protests in the United States that are taking place right now that corporate news is suppressing. We are covering the Bernie Sanders Fight the Oligarchy tour in places like West Virginia that corporate news is not showing. We are covering international protests against Netanyahu. We are covering the protests in Tel Aviv against Netanyahu. I make no apologies that we cover what corporate news refuses to cover. Let them suppress it, and we will amplify it. I don’t care if we lose sponsors or if it hurts our revenue. So be it! This is a people-powered network, and we will cover what’s really happening in the world. I want to talk more about the media suppressing this news in a second.
First, I want to ask for your help on behalf of the MeidasTouch Network. Our coverage looks very different from corporate news coverage. That’s because of our subscribers on this Substack who help fund our newsroom and our network. This is what independent news looks like.

Help us stay the most-watched network in the United States, and let’s prove that this is how people want to consume news. Please subscribe.
Back to my post.
This weekend, I was so proud of our newsroom for fearlessly covering these topics. From downtown Los Angeles to Columbus, Ohio, there are major protests happening in the United States. They get zero attention on the news. It also seems they’re being suppressed. I know we run the risk of having our content demonetized, losing sponsorship revenue, or getting banned from social media platforms by covering these topics. I don’t care. Let it happen if that’s where the chips fall. We have the Meidas Mighty, and that’s all we need. And we have this Substack.
Similarly, the media spends so much time covering Trump events—so why don’t they cover Bernie Sanders speaking in front of packed crowds in ruby-red states like West Virginia in the dog days of summer? Well, we do at the MeidasTouch Network. I am proud of our coverage this weekend of Bernie’s speech in West Virginia.
Also, we covered the Tel Aviv protests against Netanyahu. What other American news company is covering that? Seriously, I don’t think any. Similarly, our in-depth coverage in India, Australia, Japan, Africa, Europe, and, of course, Canada provides a breadth and depth of foreign policy info that is unparalleled here in the United States.
The fight against Trump will keep getting tougher. His desperation will make him more dangerous. Surely, we will continue to be targeted by him and MAGA. We will not stop building this network and will never stop fighting for you.

Meidas Worldwide, around the globe and onto your screen. There is no word of anything against Netanyahu on corporate media. Thank you for the bravery and leadership. We would be in the dark without you on so many things.
Out of darkness is light! Thank you Meidas!
