Hey Meidas Mighty, it’s MeidasTouch co-founder Ben Meiselas. I’ll keep this short.
Yesterday, the MeidasTouch Network provided live coverage of the Democrats’ “Shadow Hearing” featuring Department of Justice lawyers who are now whistleblowers speaking out against the regime. The hearing was led by Democratic Senator Adam Schiff and Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin.
One of the attorneys who testified was Liz Oyer, who was a pardon attorney at the DOJ. She testified that she was fired for refusing to restore Mel Gibson’s gun rights at the demand of the Trump DOJ. The Trump DOJ tried to intimidate Liz by threatening to send armed marshals to her home to serve her paperwork telling her not to testify, she said.
We understood that there may be risks of the MeidasTouch Network becoming the main destination for covering the shadow hearings that Trump and Republicans tried to suppress. It didn’t matter to us. We know we are on Trump’s radar. He’s already sued our hosts for $500 million (then dismissed it) and attacked us in court filings before. We weren’t scared for a second of covering the entire hearing live on the MeidasTouch YouTube.
The MeidasTouch Network will be the main destination for these shadow hearings. Based on the size of our distribution network, these “shadow hearings,” which are not endorsed or supported by the GOP majority, will now get more views than the actual bogus official hearings held by the GOP. We are redefining news coverage at the MeidasTouch Network.
As you also know, the MeidasTouch Network was the main destination for coverage of the “Hands Off” protests. We got over 5 million views for our YouTube coverage of the protests across live streams and our supplemental coverage. The MeidasTouch Network also provided exclusive coverage of former President Obama’s discussion at Hamilton College last week, which has millions of views across different platforms.
The MeidasTouch Network is pioneering coverage you won’t see anywhere else. We are a people-powered network that has grown thanks to our subscribers (subscribe now if you can). Later this week, we are going to be holding our first “State of the Protest” live stream with the leaders of the Hands Off protests.
Once again on Monday, thanks to our coverage of the shadow hearings and our podcast stream and other videos, the MeidasTouch YouTube channel was the most-watched channel across all categories in America. Get this: whereas MeidasTouch came in first place, Fox News was in 10th place. Thanks to our subscribers, we are now trouncing Fox News. I guess this is karma for Rupert Murdoch’s spokesperson saying he was laughing at us. (Let’s keep it going. Remember to add the MeidasTouch Podcast on audio on Apple Podcasts and Spotify)
Let’s keep building out the infrastructure and distribution reach of the MeidasTouch Network. Your subscriptions to this Substack help make that possible. Please subscribe now to this Substack if you can, or gift a subscription to someone you know. Also, in addition to helping us grow, by becoming a subscriber, I hope you’ve enjoyed the content here on this Substack that we carefully curate.
Thanks again, Meidas Mighty. And hopefully, you subscribe now if you can.
We know you are risking all to stand up for America in this dark time and we stand with you.
