Fox and others are not reporting the news. They are sharing propaganda fed to them by trump and project 2025. All are out for themselves and protecting their jobs. So, if sucking Trumps ass is what they have to do, they will do it. I don’t trust what is being reported, hence looking for information on my own. And by the way, lm a senior citizen, so stop your stereotype bullshit.

Why are you even here other than to to be a troll? Crawl back into your dark hole and continue watching your Fox News and NewsMax and keep sipping your orange kool-aid. You're obviously very angry like the rest of your kind.

Peter - you voted Democrat for 50 years - so you must be at least 70?

I hate to tell you this, but it's gone baby, gone. all that lovely education, all that wonderful searching for facts and truth - all gone away. There's a lot of people on here calling you a MAGA troll - I don't think for one moment you are. I think you're a guy who is enraged by what is happening -and what is NOT happening to prevent it. I think you have memories of the days when people were capable of organising themselves in protest - and prepared to die on the streets for their beliefs. I hope and pray that people like that are still around, in sufficient numbers to get up, go out and change the world around. But. . .

OK. I'll accept your point of view. But - if people disagree with you on SOME points (and they obviously don't disagree with you on all) going off on one at them won't encourage them to listen to what you have to say, will it? And you are ELOQUENT! It's a skill! A really IMPORTANT skill! Hit a wall, kick the cat,. anything to get the rage out of your system - THEN explain what is getting you so mad. Telling people they are morons doesn't make them more willing to listen - any more than when they call you MAGA. You are a liberal - Independent or Democrat, doesn't matter - and so are they. Not perfect, any of you. Slacken the rein a little. You have the words that could help people rise up.

This kind of eloquence isn't a skill. This is just sitting here calling people names, cussing & acting like a total fool of a jackass. Don't kick the cat but do go punch holes in your wall Peter. At least the only thing that'll feel anything is your hand.

A simple Google search provides you with the answer to your question: "An independent media network refers to media outlets, such as newspapers, television stations, and online publications, that operate without influence from government or corporate interests. This independence is crucial for ensuring freedom of the press and the integrity of journalism."

This means, Fox News, being owned by an oligarch who dictates what they can report on, lacks journalistic integrity while MeidasTouch has it because they can report on whatever they want and not what a billionaire owner wants them to.

Does that help?

Duuuude go easy on that speedway coffee....I stopped watching Fox News during the Bushes time in office I already knew they were full of shit. Slowly but surely all the other mass media outlets were swaying to one side or another due to the influence and money of the rich and their corporations. Not blaming all Dems media outlets, but there is fraction that swayed the wrong way. Even CNN is now owned by a conservative group.Thus this all pushed in helping to create more INFEPENDENT news coverage in my opinion. But why am I wasting my time to a troll or wanna be troll. Better hurry speedway is closing soon.

That's right, insult people to distract from any point of discussion, like that move isn't ENTIRELY worn out. As said, enjoy your little delusion while you can, you won't have any sympathy as it bites you in the ass. You had not one legitimate point, don't even know your own mind, & are just flinging shit. You are very confused & we will see how being a belligerent big mouth works out for you & your like-minded Fox "friends". You don't have any community because all your pride is in being small & mean. It's not smart. And, dude? It is NOT attractive. Go pound sand. We have a higher level of discourse here.

Kamala is on the way. Trump is out by August; maybe sooner. The votes are being revealed and DJT has heart trouble to boot. Vance may step in for a few days. After Elon's shenanigans are made public, there will be no question. The ICC will have a case if DJT and Elon are still with us. Rough for 6 months. Stay positive.

Leave it Pete. this is not an argument worth having here. I don't think it's actually an argument.There's lots of agreement else we wouldn't be here. It's clear you are a strong supporter of Meidas and what it stands for. your original point, I believe was that people should keep up with what's happening on the news outside of Meidas as well, but it turned a bit as there was a reaction against your strongly worded message.

As a side issue, do MAGA trolls really subscribe to the Meidas newsletter to troll its members? I hope so. they might learn something.

When the "news" is only reporting what their bosses tell them, why watch? Smart people are able to find the truth if they look for it. Too many people get their "news" from places like Fox entertainment instead. Mainstream media is part of the problem. All these outlets are run by billionaires who only care about money and power, they don't care about the rest of us. How many journalists have quit due to being told what they can report, if they can actually report on what's truly happening at all?
