Freedom of the press was intended to protect the people from government tyranny, and they can't get Bezos and the Ellisons, et al, to buy up all the press outlets, can they? They hate facts, because they have few on their side.
And, as most people who actually prefer FACTS over “alternative facts” realize by now, trump has a specific agenda.
One of the 14 signs of fascism is control of the press. Unfortunately Trump is rapidly accelerating his way through the list. So independent media outlets like MEIDAS are absolutely essential now.
"The moment we no longer have a free press, anything can happen. What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history.” ~ Hannah Arendt
I fullu agree with Candace. Facsinating that a corrupt crime mob, like the current admin cannot think (well no they can't), cannot come up with anything more substancial than name calling for anyone or any organization that tells verifiable facts.
Bravo, Meidas! The more the regime morlocks attempt to vilify Meidas, the more reliable Meidas stands.
Trump senior advisor Kellyanne Conway told Chuck Todd on Sunday's Meet the Press that Spicer was not telling a falsehood when he insisted that Trump's crowd was larger. He was simply giving "alternative facts. Following the interview, social media exploded with a newly minted meme, “#AlternativeFacts.” Come Monday morning, the media worldwide is aghast at the notion that Trump's press secretary told the press a falsehood on day 1."

That's what I'm saying! The MTN is doing something right because they're scrambling now to spew lies about them! They're panicking! Love it!! Good on you, MTN 👊
Soooooo as far as I can tell… no one at Meidastouch asked anyone and in particular The White House for their opinion on new talent to the Meidastouch Network. Whenever this administration puts out information I feel like I’m back in Junior High, deflecting the wannabe bullies. Pathetic and embarrassing to the World. I am so done with the infantile banter.😖
As a former Afghan ally who stood shoulder to shoulder with U.S. forces, I know what it means when truth is ignored and voices are silenced. Independent journalism is not far-left or right it is necessary. When powerful people attack reporters, it usually means those reporters are getting too close to the truth.
Many of us who risked our lives for freedom are still waiting for our stories to be told and our sacrifices to be acknowledged. Networks like MeidasTouch give hope that real voicesespecially the forgotten onescan still be heard. Keep going. The truth matters, and so do the people who were left behind
Please encourage people to join the No Kings march near them to prove in ways the media can't to the elephant wrecking havoc how truly unpopular he is.
Keep at it….looking forward to ALL articles that shed light on the dismal happenings in your country. We are doing our best here north of the 49th to keep MAGA MAPLE at bay!!! Stay Strong all of us who value truth & decency!!!!❤️🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸💪💪💪
The Trump Organization needs to take a long hard look at itself before it starts criticizing the left for things the left has no control over. Take a look at the department of Homeland Security or the Department of Justice to see how badly the Trump Administration runs cabinet level posts.
It is the worst excuse for a cabinet in the history of the US. All incompetent. Unqualified. Hand picked actors for the fantasy dumbo is playing out in his demented head.
One of the most if not the most important we need right now is independent media. as legacy media gets swallowed up by billionaires what will save this country is independent media getting the truth out to Americans and the world. Keep going!

Authoritarian Checklist (With love, your Eastern European friends.)
• Win elections on fear & populist promises
• Reclaim power for the People from the “elites”
• Purge highest positions in key government institutions
• Place cronies in positions of highest power regardless of their competence
• Brush off any critical press as “fake”, “corrupt”, “acting against the People”
• Bluntly lie to the People
• Ban press from parliament/congress/White House or selectively limit their access
• Limit press freedom & quietly take control of mainstream media
• Label opposition & protesters as “traitors”, “elites trying to reclaim power”
• Limit freedom of assembly
• Fix highest court to be able to bypass Constitution “for the good of the people”
• Limit minority & women’s rights
• Ruin the economy to fulfil your populist promises in the short term
• Alienate international partners and allies, “making your country great again”
• Quietly fix electoral law under the disguise of making it better
• Start over, until there’s nothing left…

Some of the many words that deny truth to create doubt about where – and if – it exists:
• Fake News
• Witch Hunt
• Hoax
• Alternative Facts
• Deep State
• Enemy of the People
• Made Up / Fiction / Scam / Total Scam
• Rigged / Stolen
• Highly Inaccurate Coverage

WHY do republicans kiss his ass???? WHY!!’
the problem is that the WH and his ass kissers consider the truth to be far-left.
Steven Colbert once said that 'Reality has a well-known liberal bias.'

Bravo, Meidas! The more the regime morlocks attempt to vilify Meidas, the more reliable Meidas stands.
Yes, they prefer “alternative facts”.
“Alternative Facts” – Trump 1.0, “Day 1”
Trump senior advisor Kellyanne Conway told Chuck Todd on Sunday's Meet the Press that Spicer was not telling a falsehood when he insisted that Trump's crowd was larger. He was simply giving "alternative facts. Following the interview, social media exploded with a newly minted meme, “#AlternativeFacts.” Come Monday morning, the media worldwide is aghast at the notion that Trump's press secretary told the press a falsehood on day 1."

Yep, I remember it well.
And so it began. Nearly 10 years later.
(I still miss Tim Russert. No one can possibly fill his shoes.)

Exactly
That means our (Meidas Mighty) message is getting through. Keep it up!

Spot on Ruth!

Fellow vet here. Truth!
I hope our country makes it up to you someday. What's going on is unbelievably shameful.
Consider the source. It's a compliment.
The Daily Dose of the Great White Dope.
If the White House is attacking you it only means you're doing something right. Keep doing it, more of the same, more often until they implode 🤯
The hate I feel for trump, kkkabinet, administration, advisors, family! trump is mentally ill! So, wth does congress kiss his ass!
Please encourage people to join the No Kings march near them to prove in ways the media can't to the elephant wrecking havoc how truly unpopular he is.

When people are worried about the facts they attack the truth seekers. Says way more about them and the lies they speak
MeidasTouch now the Tiffany network! RIP 🪦 CBS News
That is so great 🏆 To the future Edward R Murrows and Walter Cronkites.
Hurrah! Go, Meidas!!
One of the most if not the most important we need right now is independent media. as legacy media gets swallowed up by billionaires what will save this country is independent media getting the truth out to Americans and the world. Keep going!
