Trump Supporters Try to Destroy MeidasTouch…Podcast Purge?!!

By Ben Meiselas

MeidasTouch Network is under attack. We need your help!

Right-wing message boards have been filled with posts from Trump supporters demanding we be “doxxed and purged.” This has intensified over the past 24 hours.

Trump supporters are calling for a coordinated attack to bring down the MeidasTouch Network.

They even have an official name for the operation: “Operation Podcast Purge.”

Apparently, Trump supporters are working together to attack our reviews and go after our advertisers. They are planning to mass report us across all social media platforms in an attempt to get our network banned.

They’re planning to flood us with 1-star reviews and sabotage us with our advertisers (Remember to add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and leave your review to help push back).

They say they want to hit us where it hurts—to “purge” the MeidasTouch Network and destroy all of our funding.

This message has been spreading on right-wing message boards, where they’re recruiting others for “Operation Podcast Purge” and providing instructions on how to harm us and our ability to fund the network.

The right-wing extremists are terrified of the MeidasTouch Network.

They never anticipated an independent media network of our size, scale, and scope—one that has rallied America and the world against Trump and his fascist goals.

We’ve dealt with their death threats, harassment, hacking attempts, doxxing operations, and targeting of our family and extended family before.

We know as things intensify under the Trump dictatorship, their conduct will get worse.

Here is an example of the posts circulating on right-wing message boards:

We hope you’ve felt that the MeidasTouch Network continues to meet the moment as the most viewed independent news network in the world.

This week, for example, we were the exclusive stream for Governor Newsom’s address to California—and yesterday, we hosted the official update on the No Kings Protest.

We will be the main distributor for all the news coverage surrounding the No Kings Protest, and we’ll be embedded in the protests across the country on Saturday.

I understand why Trump and his supporters target us. They don’t scare us.

We’ve built the MeidasTouch Network with zero investors. But we do need your help to keep building it out.
