SHAME ON CNN, CBS, AND ALL OF THEM!!

By Ben Meiselas

My heart goes out to the family of Alex Pretti and to the entire Minnesota community who are under attack by Trump’s ICE and Border Patrol terrorist thugs. Pretti was murdered in cold blood by Border Patrol gestapo. He didn’t incite anything or threaten anyone. He was helping female protesters who were getting brutalized by the Border Patrol sickos when he was pepper sprayed and gang-tackled to the ground. He was bludgeoned on the ground before being shot repeatedly and killed.

This isn’t my opinion. This is what happened. This isn’t my perspective. These are the facts.

It does not surprise me that the Trump regime is calling Alex a domestic terrorist who had an agenda to massacre Border Patrol and ICE. This regime is made up of despicable and vile humans who lie about everything. They are terrorists and horrible humans.

What makes me livid, and what should also come as no surprise, however, is the coverage from CNN and CBS and Politico and of course Fox and frankly all corporate news. They have all parroted regime talking points that Alex Pretti was resisting and that somehow having a concealed handgun with a lawful permit made it justifiable to kill him. Alex did not brandish his weapon. He was holding a cell phone. Alex was not resisting; he was attacked and bludgeoned and murdered.

Of course we all know that CBS and Fox are regime media. But frankly, all other news media is as well, perhaps to slightly lesser degrees, but they are regime media nonetheless. They all deserve to be out of business for trying to “both-sides” and sane-wash what just took place.

It is obvious that independent news is more important than ever right now. We have had on-the-ground reporting in Minnesota thanks to our partnership with Status Coup, and we’ve been providing coverage all day on our network about what actually took place. Shame on all these corporate news networks for their pathetic coverage.

We will keep building the MeidasTouch Network to be bigger, more resilient, and to expand our coverage thanks to your subscriptions that have led to our growth. We were built to meet this moment, and we will not rest until the truth is out and we trample all these corporate news sellouts.
