I watch Rachel and Lawrence every evening; if I'm not home, it's on the DVR. Both give it to you with gusto and truth, you can't ask for more than that.
I too agree with Laurieanne, Rachel and Jon. Jon, you are spot on including Lawrence O'Donnell. I think he was the first big name news caster who called out Trump right after his first election when there were those who said, 'oh, he'll become 'presidential'. O'Donnell said, 'no, he won't. That isn't in him.'
Both Maddow and O’Donnell speak the truth and have actually gotten more bold in their criticism. I often wonder how long this will last? Last night O’Donnell said Trump has “economic dementia” several times during his show. We would argue he also has a severe lack of empathy for others!
Me too. Once convicted felon was on the world stage, it was time to change viewing habits. I stopped watching all network, local and cable news. I have not missed it at all. Thanks to Meidas for keeping me sane and providing unvarnished truth in news.
I still watch most networks (not faux entertainment news), but have the mute button ready for Cheeto, Miller, the blond bimbos, the puppy killer and the drunk at DOD. The button is starting to show a lot of wear. :)
Rachel Maddows report yesterday on YOUTUBE....."Anti Trump protests sweep the nation,crossing the threshold of mainstream media attention"..YOUTUBE...She is the one too.......FINALLY liist all the media outlets that HAD to report the massive demonstrations...........totally worth a look.
I saw that one as well. It was very informative. I agree that her and Lawrence are fearless in their reporting. They are well researched and cover aspects of the news that may be easily overlooked. Laurence's views on Trump from 2016 are even more valid today. I also like Michael Steele and Simone.
You are out of your mind. About 2 years ago, Rachel wrote a book where she highlighted the meeting of the Nazis in 1930s at Madison Square Garden. It was the first time I became aware of that. She also indicated that the Nazis were supported by a prominent millionaire, Henry Ford. In an interview she intimated that the current Nazi movement may very well have the support of another US billionaire, likely Elon Musk. She was spot on. She is one of the best and most fearless journalists out there.
How extensively did she cite Madeleine Albright's history of fascism, written over ten years ago? She covered the same ground, and much better. It's always best to exploit a niche when the actual heroes and heroines of democracy have passed on. Your ignorance doesn't exalt Maddow as an author. You sound like you're reminiscing about your prom date.
James ....You are an imposter......a fake that is unable to see or touch the truth. Ms Maddow is the real deal........not going to waste valuable time on you if that is not clear to you. Like dealing with Maga......just move on to a place and time that is of value and substance.
You are a liar. She has a bachelors degree in public policy from Stanford and a PhD in political science from University of Oxford. I bet your degree is in political nonsense fro Trump University. What position did you play on the softball team there?
She poses as an intellectual, but is just a careerist. She confused the concept of an acronym with that of an anagram in a recent rant (the McMahon AI vs. A1 story; the sad part is that AI is an abbreviation.) She embarrassed herself playing parlor games with Jimmy Fallon (she's no Jane Lynch.) Stop idolizing someone who is just another ignorant American journalist.
So that's a no. No, you have no concrete arguments. You have some kind of hatred for her as a person, for mysterious reasons, and that's it. That's what I thought already ;-)
OK....I get it now~! You're jealous! That's OK! She's not supposed to be Jane Lynch! She is RACHEL MADDOW! Jane is a great actress. Rachel is a scholar. Whenever you thought you knew her, that's then! NOW she is AMAZING!
I am a student of political science. The stupidest people in my classes were always the journalism students trying to earn their political science degree requirements. Journalists are ignorant, and think they are fulfilling a professional tenet behaving that way. Meidas are lawyers, not journalists. Their legal reporting is their core strength. They rarely review journalists like they did Jim Acosta.
I really, really, really appreciate Rachel Maddow & Lawrence O’Donnell as well. And yes, they have called the devil the devil so to speak. A spade a spade. A con man a con. A fascist a fascist. A sexual abuser an absolutely depraved human being. And they have backed it up with facts. And a strong clear voice with a strong clear message. Alongside the call to justice and democracy. We the people need to continue to use our voices. On the behalf of the entirety of humanity. And we need to find ways for our words turn into action. And results. And this message is from 🇨🇦
Don't give David Eccles any of your time good people!!! He is suffering from MAGA Mush brain 🧠 syndrome!!! He should be put in one of Trumps favorite places to disparage an INSANE ASYLUM!!! David I hope you have a great time when reality smacks you in the head realizing you have been conned by a Mysoginistic Maniacal Autocrat!!!
You wouldn't know because your in the MAGASPEHERE!!! She has condemned it so many times, you know of a little bar on you home screen it has a G on it, it's called Google!!! Do your research!!! That's the problem with you Maga, you can't see past your own bigotry and hatred to find out facts!!! You let the MAGGOTS at Fox mush your brain with COMMENTARY NOT NEWS!!!! Tell me one thing Trump has said he was going to do Policy wise?!?!? I'll wait, of course your going to say the border, well guess what...Biden deported more at this point in his first term than Trump!!! The difference is, it was not done by breaking our laws and defying the CONSTITUTION!! I hope naming a body of water is helping your elderly family, or that straws are helping you pay your bills, or taking away the rights of the people and institutions is helping your children's education!!! Wake tf up man!!! Do you not know left from right or up from down?? You will let MAGA morons just tell you that the grass is blue and the sky is green and you will fkn believe it, 😉
Your such a joke!!! Lmao!!! I CONDEMN ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION whether it be Religous, creed etc!!! Bottom line is you showed your ignorance by using curse words towards a woman that would run circles around you!!!Anyhow...love ya 😘
I didn't realize she was required to do a segment on Gaza. I think she's allowed to report on the subjects she wishes to report on. Free country and all. Besides may she just doesn't want to report on what a fascist yahoo is.
She tells the truth despite people like you. You have no proof of your claims. The rest of us watch, listen and research for ourselves to know and understand what she is saying to know the true meaning. She won’t bend the knee to people like you who can’t handle a strong woman!
Whenever someone purposely changes a person's name for insult i wonder y r they so threatened. Please show us your proof. I have not found 1 thing Rachel has said not factual. Have the best wed ever!!!!!
Yet, it's ok to raise the deficit $7Trillion with the last maggat budget so the 1% shite birds can get their tax cuts? Next time, they want no debt ceiling. What hypocrisy. F45 increased the deficit almost $8T in 2020 and not because of COVID. Yet allowed close to 1Million Americans to die from it. F47 should be in jail and hopefully he will one day soon. People that don't commit crimes, don't need pardons.
She is a truth- telling Rhodes scholar with a PhD from Oxford. Above your head… or threatened…. Or paid by Putin or magats? We aren’t fooled by nonsense and lies.
FYI: you don't "listen to" journalists. You THINK ABOUT what they say and you fact-check it. Do that with Maddow and you'll see, you'll feel better already ;-)
Agree with this 100%. I was devastated when I saw the news about Bill Owens and 60 minutes. This is an attack on the First Amendment and Free Press. It must be called out and stopped. Why I support you, subscribed and hope you keep growing exponentially. It’s independent media and we the people at the rallies that are going to save our democracy! Go Medias! ❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
It’s actually not the journalists and producers at 60 Minutes fault that this is happening, it’s upper management and the Corporation deciding to bend the knee to Trumps regime. But yes, it is independent media that is leading the way forward and we must lift them up so they can survive.
We can’t lose 60 Minutes! Their stories are so interesting, educational, entertaining and truth. Were there any restrictions placed on them by that orange POS via his FCC servant? 😡
Total agreement here. My contempt for all these cowards is absolutely through the roof. But they "courageously" attack Meidas Touch for the courage and patriotism they are brining to the people.
Don't let the facts get in the waybof your story. I'm in here for free. But they r not selling tesla on the wh front lone or bibles w/ their signature. Np w/ that kiddo? I have no supporting factual investigative reporting. They need to eat too!!!!
This is so insane- why are these media outlets caving? I can’t believe they don’t have enough balls to stand up for what’s right! We need to keep speaking loudly every minute of the day!
The "free press" isn't free when it's owned by giant corporations and mega-rich individuals. The U.S. Constitution lays out three branches of government. It never mentions the unelected, unaccountable fourth branch: big money. From the Reagan administration onward, it's been eating the other three branches alive, gradually at first but with increasing speed until -- well, here we are.
CBS is regulated. AI: To file a complaint with the FCC, you can use the online complaint form on fcc.gov/complaints. Choose the category that best describes your issue (TV, phone, Internet, radio, emergency communications, or access for people with disabilities). You can also call 888-CALL-FCC (225-5322) to speak with an agent.
As if they don't have enough money in the first place. This is why the only thing that can save us is grassroots movements and honest media, like Midas.
I'm hoping that she decides that our nation is such great peril that it is incumbent upon her to remain indefinitely. There is no book she could possibly write that would be more shocking than what is happening right now in our nation.
Morning Ben and the Meidas Mighty! While you might not be able to pay Bill Owens the salary he deserves, getting him for an interview would be great. Hopefully he doesn’t have an NDA that precludes him from speaking out on what Trump is doing to the media and his efforts to stifle him. An interview like that would be possibly an inspiration to many more journalists to stand up to the regime. And it pains me to see 60 Minutes, one of the beacons of truth to be under attack. They have no bias but the truth like the Meidas Touch Network. They report on things critical of Democrats and Republicans, as journalists should.
Congratulations on the win by the way. There are thousands of news and opinion podcasts alone and this is by far one to view and engage with. You, your brothers, and the staff you assembled have worked tirelessly over the years to provide honest news and analysis despite the threats to your wellbeing. Onward Meidas Mighty, glad to be a part of this community.
What happened to freedom of the press and freedom of speech? Couldn’t they win in a court of law? 20 billion lawsuit? He has to be the most litigious person on earth! It’s always about money, power and his bloated ego. Never back down to 🍊🤡!!
Yes they could all band together and fight back. But many do not want to spend the money, lose their viewers on the right, or be involved in a protracted fight with Trump. They also feel empowered when so many people believe the BS they are peddling.
Because the FCC is under the Executive Branch and they control the licensing, regulation, and oversight of the media that is on the air.
As far as the print media goes, he can't control that directly or indirectly. There are honest, factual, and centrally biased print media that you can follow on the Internet, or some independent posters who bring it all together for you, if you prefer.
I am one of those people who researches all the print media I can find, checks for factuality, etc. I may or may not add commentary, and you can read the headlines and skip the stories that are of no interest to you. I cover the U.S., Health, and International stories, as well as information, and other items of interest. I also have an entire section at the bottom every day that tells you how to be empowered, take action, fight back. If you are interested, take a look and spread it around as much as possible to add to the Independent media. My substack is always free and always will be!
Did you even read the article here? And have you heard of the FCC? Please take a civics course. The President has immense coercive power, especially when his autocratic party controls the other two branches of government.
See Election Truth Alliance for verifiable evidence that musk rigged the election for trump to win.
Every time I try to include a link my comment gets deleted.
Also see doc - vigilante Inc - details how over 4 million votes were lost due to suppression, interference and manipulation.
They're criminal and headed for prison of course they cheated. Kamala was meant to be president not him. How he's still infesting the WH with all this evidence against him, is beyond me.
How legacy power will pat your head with one hand and erase you with the other. Visibility offered like a prize, then revoked when it becomes too real, too loud, too... effective.
But here’s the thing about grassroots fire: it doesn’t need permission. It doesn’t wait for polite nods from institutions built on erasure. It just keeps burning, reshaping the narrative, pixel by pixel, truth by inconvenient truth.
This is so sad. I imagine Mr. Owens tried everything he could, for as long as he could, to fight management and keep "60 Minutes" fearless and independent. I'm really sorry to hear his only option was to leave. That is a big, big loss.
On the other hand, we're seeing more and more pushback against the bully blowhard from every corner, and it's wonderful! It's showing people that there is strength in numbers and it's possible to thwart this mad king's efforts to derail our democracy and tear down our Constitution. Kudos to all those brave organizations and individuals who choose to fight!
This is such a sad situation that Trump sues people for saying something against him😡What a fucking cry baby 😡😡👺He refused to go to the CBS interview with Kamala and then says it caused him anguish??? TRUMP CAUSES ME ANGUISH EVERY FUCKING DAY 😡😡👺HE SHOULD PAY ME A BILLION FOR THE ANGER HE CAUSES ME!!!!!!!!
Class action lawsuit. Keep a journal. Build up doctor bills. Get your evidence in order and talk to your DOJ in your State. Maybe somewhere along the way some lawyer will see a class action lawsuit in the making... but "We the People..." have to give them a Denali size mountain of papered evidence to support our claims. Then we can win!
Rachel Maddow is “the gift” please interview her. She’s beyond intelligent, fierce and fair.
I agree. She tells important stories with background information and color. There is no one like her at MSNBC, second would be Lawrence O’Donnell
I agree! They're both fearless and speak the truth.
I watch Rachel and Lawrence every evening; if I'm not home, it's on the DVR. Both give it to you with gusto and truth, you can't ask for more than that.
It's why mag@T$ hate her so much. Makes me laugh 😃
I like Chris Hayes as well.
Chris Hayes just did a great interview with a history professor from Yale on his new podcast. Check it out!
I will! Thanks.
Yes! I do as well.
Like his wife Kate Shaw (Strict Scrutiny podcast) even better.
Chris Hayes, Michael Steele & Jen Psaki are great too - all 5.
Tack on Nicole Wallace! We love Michael Steele!
I don’t like Michael
Steele, but I do liked Jen Psaki and Chris Hayes and always like Laurence O’Donnell
How about all at once like the crew on faux news only with the truth about anything important
I too agree with Laurieanne, Rachel and Jon. Jon, you are spot on including Lawrence O'Donnell. I think he was the first big name news caster who called out Trump right after his first election when there were those who said, 'oh, he'll become 'presidential'. O'Donnell said, 'no, he won't. That isn't in him.'
Agreed! But don't forget Nicolle Wallace.
Yes my two favorites are Rachel and Lawrence. The best!
Both Maddow and O’Donnell speak the truth and have actually gotten more bold in their criticism. I often wonder how long this will last? Last night O’Donnell said Trump has “economic dementia” several times during his show. We would argue he also has a severe lack of empathy for others!
Yes, classic sociopath behaviour!
Thank you MTN for being my news source.
Same here. I quit watching it on TV in 2016 and have never returned to it.
Me too. Once convicted felon was on the world stage, it was time to change viewing habits. I stopped watching all network, local and cable news. I have not missed it at all. Thanks to Meidas for keeping me sane and providing unvarnished truth in news.
I still watch most networks (not faux entertainment news), but have the mute button ready for Cheeto, Miller, the blond bimbos, the puppy killer and the drunk at DOD. The button is starting to show a lot of wear. :)
I don’t get news anywhere else. I want to know that I am hearing the truth and not have to attempt to sift through all the bullshit
That's what Meidas touch does for us so well or I'd be confused all day
I admit to not really having the time to do it. And at the end of the day, I really don’t have enough energy.
Rachel Maddows report yesterday on YOUTUBE....."Anti Trump protests sweep the nation,crossing the threshold of mainstream media attention"..YOUTUBE...She is the one too.......FINALLY liist all the media outlets that HAD to report the massive demonstrations...........totally worth a look.

Rachel and Lawrence are my favorites on MSNBC. They remain loyal to the Constitution.
No, she's not. She's out for #1.
Have a hard time with strong and intelligent women?
I think Christiane Amanpour and Katty Kay are wonderful. Maddow is an imposter.
You are out of your mind. About 2 years ago, Rachel wrote a book where she highlighted the meeting of the Nazis in 1930s at Madison Square Garden. It was the first time I became aware of that. She also indicated that the Nazis were supported by a prominent millionaire, Henry Ford.

Noooo, James! She ain't faking it! she knows her stuff and backs it up!
She's smart and a patriotic American who stands for democracy
If she get’s to #1 well deserved!
She's a Stanford "C" student who majored in intramural softball.
Take your unsubtle gay bashing over to Fox. I hear they're giving out cookies and milk for very special boys.
@ Jane in NC -- Agree. You're spot on! We're with you regarding the OP. He probably thinks we can't tell he hates gays.
He's in the wrong community for his brand of BS. He needs to take a hike back over to Dumpty's Sewer Blog!
Yep. This isn't Donnie's Dollar Store social media site. Here, you get called out for your hate.
She's a Rhodes Scholar and has her PHD from Oxford.
Hahaha - thanks for that. I guess he thinks softball and Standford are interchangeable for Rhodes Scholar and Oxford.
Thanks for that wonderful insight. Get back to your Mom's basement. Be gone troll.
PhD from Oxford. Have u ever heard of Oxford?
you just can't take the real news can you? Your kind is not welcome here. You just try to sow hate and lies. I have reported you to Meidas Touch.
Awww...what a sad little boy troll you are with nothing better to do with your life than bash a woman who is FAR more intelligent than you.
Feeling insecure today? Have trouble with smart powerful women? Sad.
You are a liar. She has a bachelors degree in public policy from Stanford and a PhD in political science from University of Oxford. I bet your degree is in political nonsense fro Trump University. What position did you play on the softball team there?
James!!!! Are you a MAGA boy? I'm getting suspicious of you now! She's outstanding!
James is as loser.....waiting for his fake Trump coin ......or trading card that will be used to wipe his ass in the future
She's a scholar! And she knows her value and strengths. She's good, James!
BS
Any concrete arguments, perhaps?
She poses as an intellectual, but is just a careerist. She confused the concept of an acronym with that of an anagram in a recent rant (the McMahon AI vs. A1 story; the sad part is that AI is an abbreviation.) She embarrassed herself playing parlor games with Jimmy Fallon (she's no Jane Lynch.) Stop idolizing someone who is just another ignorant American journalist.
So that's a no. No, you have no concrete arguments. You have some kind of hatred for her as a person, for mysterious reasons, and that's it. That's what I thought already ;-)
Listen to Olbermann's podcast to get a glimpse of the real Rachel.
I love him! Where is he?! I need him blasting everyday! But he left! Not gone...just not accessible...fast!~
The thread speaks for itself, contradict me all you like. That's a yes.
Uh... how to contradict a post with no concrete arguments in the first place... ? Any idea?
OK....I get it now~! You're jealous! That's OK! She's not supposed to be Jane Lynch! She is RACHEL MADDOW! Jane is a great actress. Rachel is a scholar. Whenever you thought you knew her, that's then! NOW she is AMAZING!
I am a student of political science. The stupidest people in my classes were always the journalism students trying to earn their political science degree requirements. Journalists are ignorant, and think they are fulfilling a professional tenet behaving that way. Meidas are lawyers, not journalists. Their legal reporting is their core strength.

Stupid dishonest troll blocked.
Too bad she’s leaving the weekly news spot to promote her book. That will be a serious loss.
I agree!!!
Rachel exemplifies the fact that women are capable of being a Mighty Force, and can no longer be thought of, as pushovers 🥰
I really, really, really appreciate Rachel Maddow & Lawrence O’Donnell as well. And yes, they have called the devil the devil so to speak. A spade a spade. A con man a con. A fascist a fascist. A sexual abuser an absolutely depraved human being. And they have backed it up with facts. And a strong clear voice with a strong clear message. Alongside the call to justice and democracy. We the people need to continue to use our voices. On the behalf of the entirety of humanity. And we need to find ways for our words turn into action. And results. And this message is from 🇨🇦
She is smart but she’s boring and not always honest. She’s also been pro-war.
Agreed!
Also Lawrence O'Donell
David shit for brains.........another posting the nobody will ever open........You are the poster moron for MAGA........LOL!!!
What a bunch of crap! She tells the truth!
Don't give David Eccles any of your time good people!!! He is suffering from MAGA Mush brain 🧠 syndrome!!! He should be put in one of Trumps favorite places to disparage an INSANE ASYLUM!!! David I hope you have a great time when reality smacks you in the head realizing you have been conned by a Mysoginistic Maniacal Autocrat!!!
BOOM! Tell the truth--shame the devil aka MAGA.
David Ech!!......probably does the same heroin that RFKjr Fuckup did way back when.
He's not MAGA ... check his profile. But he certainly is wrong about Rachel and his argument is ad hominem nonsense.
I think James has now earned the "IGNORE THE TROLL" badge as well as David Eccles. I'm wondering these 'di*kes' look like! Bleh!
Are you one of the janitors that sweeps up all the trash at FOX NEWS HQ and studies it at night????
https://www.factcheck.org/2021/10/trumps-final-numbers/#:~:text=The%20statistics%20for%20the

Your such a joke!!! Lmao!!! I CONDEMN ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION whether it be Religous, creed etc!!! Bottom line is you showed your ignorance by using curse words towards a woman that would run circles around you!!!Anyhow...love ya 😘
I didn't realize she was required to do a segment on Gaza. I think she's allowed to report on the subjects she wishes to report on. Free country and all. Besides may she just doesn't want to report on what a fascist yahoo is.
The fascist party is the GOP. Seems you don"t know the definition of fascism, but here's a hint: Its staring at you from the Oval Office.
Lmao... your a idiot
You aren't a right winger, you're just stupid and intellectually dishonest. There are a lot of people like you on the left, unfortunately.
She tells the truth despite people like you. You have no proof of your claims. The rest of us watch, listen and research for ourselves to know and understand what she is saying to know the true meaning. She won’t bend the knee to people like you who can’t handle a strong woman!
It's just a Bot or a Troll. Don't give David any more air. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
Elon with a fake profile perhaps?
Right you are!
Davy.......You never graduated from kindergarden
You first
Whenever someone purposely changes a person's name for insult i wonder y r they so threatened. Please show us your proof. I have not found 1 thing Rachel has said not factual. Have the best wed ever!!!!!
That kind of schoolyard insult is the defensive reaction of scared little boys.
Now that comment is hilarious! You just can’t handle that she’s intelligent and isn’t afraid of telling the truth
So you’re the one who has been hoarding the tinfoil…
There is someone who put the US in free fall, but it isn't Rachel Maddow. It's your boy Dull Donnie.
Be gone troll.
David STFU
and yet you believe a more than 5 decades mango Mussolini pathological liar and con man who kisses up to KGB Thug Putin😝😜😛
Yet, it's ok to raise the deficit $7Trillion with the last maggat budget so the 1% shite birds can get their tax cuts? Next time, they want no debt ceiling. What hypocrisy. F45 increased the deficit almost $8T in 2020 and not because of COVID. Yet allowed close to 1Million Americans to die from it. F47 should be in jail and hopefully he will one day soon. People that don't commit crimes, don't need pardons.
Shitbags call other people shitbag.
I believe you're confused. You're describing Don the Convicted Con (minus the high IQ).
What are you afraid of, David? The truth?
Another asshole expels gas…..
She is a truth- telling Rhodes scholar with a PhD from Oxford. Above your head… or threatened…. Or paid by Putin or magats? We aren’t fooled by nonsense and lies.
FYI: you don't "listen to" journalists. You THINK ABOUT what they say and you fact-check it. Do that with Maddow and you'll see, you'll feel better already ;-)
Please define "fascism", and then explain why you believe the Democratic party's record corresponds to it.
Another "Ech" nazi propaganda film to flush down the golden Mar-a-Lardo golden toilet.......along with all the stolen nuclear secrets.........F-You.
Wow. Maybe you should interview with Fox
Agree with this 100%. I was devastated when I saw the news about Bill Owens and 60 minutes. This is an attack on the First Amendment and Free Press. It must be called out and stopped. Why I support you, subscribed and hope you keep growing exponentially. It’s independent media and we the people at the rallies that are going to save our democracy! Go Medias! ❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
And then I will no longer be interested in 60 Min.
It’s actually not the journalists and producers at 60 Minutes fault that this is happening, it’s upper management and the Corporation deciding to bend the knee to Trumps regime. But yes, it is independent media that is leading the way forward and we must lift them up so they can survive.
Ironical that Trump can sue them for ‘hurting his feelings’. WTF?
We can’t lose 60 Minutes! Their stories are so interesting, educational, entertaining and truth. Were there any restrictions placed on them by that orange POS via his FCC servant? 😡
He’s suing them and requesting the FCC revoke their license. Direct interference with the Free Press and Free Speech. Russia kind of tactics.
Total agreement here. My contempt for all these cowards is absolutely through the roof. But they "courageously" attack Meidas Touch for the courage and patriotism they are brining to the people.
Independent media? What the fuck is that? Medias Touch monetizes all posts, sells ads, and splits money with Google... wake the fuck up
Don't let the facts get in the waybof your story. I'm in here for free. But they r not selling tesla on the wh front lone or bibles w/ their signature. Np w/ that kiddo? I have no supporting factual investigative reporting. They need to eat too!!!!
Threatened with prison. He would like to jail journalists.
This is so insane- why are these media outlets caving? I can’t believe they don’t have enough balls to stand up for what’s right! We need to keep speaking loudly every minute of the day!

Heh. You've just described what "opioid of the people" looks like in our day and age.
If we all push hard enough, Trump will cave. He's afraid of his own shadow!
Trump's puppeteers make the decisions, and they're the ones to fear. They hold Trump up like Weekend at Bernie's.
Exactly.
Greed - Shari
The threat is real. Not defending them but it has got to be bad - really bad. Trump is a tyrant. We know this.
Money - the root of all evil.
Hi Cathy, one word will sum this up... Money.
As if they don't have enough money in the first place. This is why the only thing that can save us is grassroots movements and honest media, like Midas.
Been listening to The Meidas Touch for about 2 months now. This update finally helped me make the decision to become a paid subscriber.
This is why I became a paid subscribers, this is important folks!
Well done Meidas 👏
Welcome!
Welcome!
Can you get Maddow? 😀
She did leave MSNBC once so maybe it could happen again?
Down to 1 day a week again after 100 days. 😢
I'm hoping that she decides that our nation is such great peril that it is incumbent upon her to remain indefinitely. There is no book she could possibly write that would be more shocking than what is happening right now in our nation.
I believe it's likely, again. She's supposedly back to one day a week after convicted felon's first 100 days is over.
I hope nbc sees the light and what she’s doing then decides to extend her contract for nightly shows indefinitely. Wishful thinking perhaps.
Morning Ben and the Meidas Mighty! While you might not be able to pay Bill Owens the salary he deserves, getting him for an interview would be great. Hopefully he doesn’t have an NDA that precludes him from speaking out on what Trump is doing to the media and his efforts to stifle him. An interview like that would be possibly an inspiration to many more journalists to stand up to the regime. And it pains me to see 60 Minutes, one of the beacons of truth to be under attack. They have no bias but the truth like the Meidas Touch Network. They report on things critical of Democrats and Republicans, as journalists should.
Congratulations on the win by the way. There are thousands of news and opinion podcasts alone and this is by far one to view and engage with. You, your brothers, and the staff you assembled have worked tirelessly over the years to provide honest news and analysis despite the threats to your wellbeing. Onward Meidas Mighty, glad to be a part of this community.
I watch 60 minutes weekly. This makes me mad. I guess i won't be tuning in anymore l.
Ditto.
How in THE HELL does the POTUS, much less Trump, have any authority over the media?
What happened to freedom of the press and freedom of speech? Couldn’t they win in a court of law? 20 billion lawsuit? He has to be the most litigious person on earth! It’s always about money, power and his bloated ego. Never back down to 🍊🤡!!
Yes they could all band together and fight back. But many do not want to spend the money, lose their viewers on the right, or be involved in a protracted fight with Trump. They also feel empowered when so many people believe the BS they are peddling.
It works for Putin and other authoritarian regimes. Dictators he admires and wants to emulate.
Because the FCC is under the Executive Branch and they control the licensing, regulation, and oversight of the media that is on the air.
As far as the print media goes, he can't control that directly or indirectly. There are honest, factual, and centrally biased print media that you can follow on the Internet, or some independent posters who bring it all together for you, if you prefer.
I am one of those people who researches all the print media I can find, checks for factuality, etc. I may or may not add commentary, and you can read the headlines and skip the stories that are of no interest to you. I cover the U.S., Health, and International stories, as well as information, and other items of interest. I also have an entire section at the bottom every day that tells you how to be empowered, take action, fight back. If you are interested, take a look and spread it around as much as possible to add to the Independent media. My substack is always free and always will be!

Thank you for that. I will give you a follow.
Did you even read the article here? And have you heard of the FCC? Please take a civics course. The President has immense coercive power, especially when his autocratic party controls the other two branches of government.
Yes, and yes. Not needed but I thank you for your concern, jibal.
He won bc he cheated.
See Election Truth Alliance for verifiable evidence that musk rigged the election for trump to win.
Every time I try to include a link my comment gets deleted.
Also see doc - vigilante Inc - details how over 4 million votes were lost due to suppression, interference and manipulation.
They're criminal and headed for prison of course they cheated. Kamala was meant to be president not him. How he's still infesting the WH with all this evidence against him, is beyond me.
Evidence has no power. Remember, he was convicted on 34 felony counts,
Congrats on your win of the Webby Award, you earned it!
Walter Cronkite, Edward R. Murrow and Eric Sevareid must be turning over in their graves.
Good night and good luck because that's the way it is.
It’s wild, isn’t it—
How legacy power will pat your head with one hand and erase you with the other. Visibility offered like a prize, then revoked when it becomes too real, too loud, too... effective.
But here’s the thing about grassroots fire: it doesn’t need permission. It doesn’t wait for polite nods from institutions built on erasure. It just keeps burning, reshaping the narrative, pixel by pixel, truth by inconvenient truth.
This wasn’t a setback. It was a signal.
Keep going.
What would you add?
This is so sad. I imagine Mr. Owens tried everything he could, for as long as he could, to fight management and keep "60 Minutes" fearless and independent. I'm really sorry to hear his only option was to leave. That is a big, big loss.
On the other hand, we're seeing more and more pushback against the bully blowhard from every corner, and it's wonderful! It's showing people that there is strength in numbers and it's possible to thwart this mad king's efforts to derail our democracy and tear down our Constitution. Kudos to all those brave organizations and individuals who choose to fight!
Please get Bill Owen, or maybe get Jim Acosta to get Bill Owen on your show.
I think Jim Acosta is having a ball as an independent content creator! For now, anyway!
Yeah, pushing back at an autocratic takeover of the government is so much fun.
Try thinking about things from a less privileged perspective.
Thank you for speaking truth to power! Love you guys.
So Trump "suffered because of a 60 Minutes interview? He's
just a hollow bag of gas and viciousness, with an insatiable thirst for praise.
Sharing Redstone is another greedy millionaire obsessed with money.
This is such a sad situation that Trump sues people for saying something against him😡What a fucking cry baby 😡😡👺He refused to go to the CBS interview with Kamala and then says it caused him anguish??? TRUMP CAUSES ME ANGUISH EVERY FUCKING DAY 😡😡👺HE SHOULD PAY ME A BILLION FOR THE ANGER HE CAUSES ME!!!!!!!!
Class action lawsuit. Keep a journal. Build up doctor bills. Get your evidence in order and talk to your DOJ in your State. Maybe somewhere along the way some lawyer will see a class action lawsuit in the making... but "We the People..." have to give them a Denali size mountain of papered evidence to support our claims. Then we can win!
Yes! Me too! We need a class action lawsuit against him
