Meidas Editor Ron Filipkowski is Breaking MAJOR STORIES…
Written by Ben Meiselas
I will keep this short.
I am so damn proud of our newsroom at the MeidasTouch Network, led by our fearless Editor-in-Chief Ron Filipkowski.
When people see me in public, they often ask where I get my news to stay on top of things. I respond, with a smile: from us.
From Meidas.
From Ron and our team of editors and writers, who work tirelessly behind the scenes.
The MeidasTouch Network has a robust news-gathering, research, and writing team.
Most of our stories are original reporting—not aggregated news from wire services or other sources.
Our team has developed an extensive network of sources, closely monitors social media, and is constantly searching federal and state court dockets for new filings.
During a time when media outlets are making cuts and downsizing, thanks to all of you becoming paid subscribers of this Substack (if you aren’t, please consider becoming one now), the MeidasTouch Network is growing and adding more members to our team.
Let me give you an example of an important story where Ron Filipkowski has been leading all media coverage.
The current civil war in MAGA between the “tech bro MAGA” faction led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, and the right-wing nationalist MAGA faction, is a huge deal.
Corporate media has largely ignored this story because they want to help Donald Trump and the oligarchs by not showing disunity in MAGA.
MeidasTouch has developed a network of sources in this area, and we’ve been driving the original reporting on this topic to tens of millions across the country.
This reporting should be done by corporate media—showing that MAGA is falling apart before Trump even takes office—but they are ignoring it.
Fortunately, our team is on top of it.
Take a look at Filipkowski’s bulletin from last night for more information, and watch my various YouTube videos on this topic that I’ve released over the past 48 hours.
Another example of our original reporting: our team uncovered numerous instances of Peter Hegseth surrounded by booze. We’ve also led the field in surfacing old clips of Hegseth and Trump’s other Cabinet picks, which will undoubtedly play a key role in upcoming hearings.
These are just a few examples of our news and editorial team in action.
I think Filipkowski’s original reporting is among the most impactful out there today in all of politics.
This is, of course, made possible by this community—the MeidasMighty—so thank you for everything.
Let’s keep growing and making history together.
Please become a paid subscriber to this Substack now if you can and help the MeidasTouch Network grow. We have zero investors, so this is how we grow. We are 100 percent people-powered.
I haven't watched corporate news since the bashing of Biden after the debate with the orange one and instead turned to independent journalists. MTN is #1 on my list though I want to give kudos to you and other journalists (Brian Tyler Cohen) who are coming together to give one clear message. It's obvious that egos are being set aside for the good of our country and democracy. Keep it up and soon we will have a conglomerate of truth journalists that cannot be ignored. This is how we'll get our country back on track to the great nation it is. Thank you Meiselas brothers and everyone on the team!
Watching the YouTube now!! Loving the MAGA wars! 🤣 Who will win?! My money is on the Oligarchs (no pun intended!) - Vivek and Musk. They will win because they fuel Trump’s universe. Trump has no use for the minions any longer - he got what he needed from them. So, pass the 🍿 popcorn and let’s enjoy the show!
