So excited that Katie Phang has joined the MTN and look forward to more journalist coming onboard. Trump wants to shutdown the independent media as he cannot control the narrative and how people view him. He’s got the worst approval rating this early in a term and it is thanks in part because of the Meidas Touch Network and Legal AF. Keep shinning the light and elbows up.
Her sign off speech mentioned MeidasTouch.........With Katie on board, MTN will get even stronger............IHIPNEWS is playing clips from MTN now..........
Congratulations. You do not watch TV... You are one of the fool idiots who get their news from Tik Tok, Facebook,,X, and U tube,,, How fucking pathetic
No TikTok etc. Kid, seriously, you’ve never heard of AM radio with its plethora of news stations and talk shows voicing every side? And you’ve never heard of any kind of printed news outlet, or apps that provide all of them?
And YouTube? Everything is to be had on there and intelligent people search out every kind of source to get the full picture.
I'm looking forward to seeing her here also. I've never seen or heard of her either. I used to love MSNBC but got rid of cable 4 years ago. It's not the same on YOUTUBE.
Team sport mentality ? If you are so pissed at Meidas then get the hell off our channel. President Joe Biden was not perfect nor has any president been so. You calling trump a chaos bomb rather than a fascist criminal says much about you. You are being deceitful by that very description of him. This is not a popularity contest. This platform has given a voice to many journalists who have been fired or silenced by their own networks. I am proud to be a part of the Meidas Mighty. There is no such thing as the unvarnished truth because human beings will always filter their truths from their own experiences. By the way, we are not sheep here. You claiming we watch Meidas because they tell us only what we want to hear is absurd.
I wonder if we might be seeing the start of paid bashers/ critics? Funded by folks like Elon! Goal to undermine dicredit and create uncertanty?? I can.picture.Elon.offering that
Agree!! Paid critics/ bashers get paid with how many responcess.they get!! Their efforts are so toxic! then add.elons.algo bots?? Most all projection coming the.Donald and.Don Jr.!! Their.the."fakes".
First of all, subscribing to the MTN YouTube channel is FREE. No money needed at all. And it is perfectly possible to subscribe to the MTN Substack for free too. Aside from that, Ben didn't even mention the WORD "money", let alone ask for it. So your first line already is extremely easy to refute. Not a good start for someone who wants better reporting...
And unfortunately, the rest of your post is just venting. Your claims are extremely vague and cynical, with nothing to back them up.
How exactly is that going to help us defeat fascism?
When anybody starts venting against MTN.........that "venter" does not fully grasp this pivitol time in history. I went to being a founder a few months ago......that was a no-brainer for me. Helping build the foundation for MTN is my duty in order to preserve democracy and freedom. "Venters" have the freedom to express their voices..........the truth will win over fascism.
While MTM is free,many people like me support this channel with small monthly payments. I pay $5. But when you have thousands of people paying $5 or more that's quite a sum of money. And you neglect the fact that people will watch however they can because they hate Trump and his cronies. People aren't getting paid to protest in major cities. People with a conscience will stand up and fight because they are true patriots no matter what.
I occasionally watch some of those as well. The important part is that we have all kinds of independent reporters to choose from. Something that Fascism would never allow.
You're not "calling out bullshit here". To do that, you need to be PRECISE and come up with ARGUMENTS and EVIDENCE. Instead, you throw around vague and cynical complaints, with nothing to back them up at all. How will that help anyone?
Example: you join the GOP here in calling the ACA "a disaster". Nonpartisan studies have shown that it has saved an additional HALF A MILLION American lives by now. If you want to call that a disaster, you clearly lost your moral compass. Democracy can only survive when citizens are willing to cultivate a strong moral compass and patiently fact-check and back up claims. Not by simply indulging in the negative emotions that Trump's "flooding the zone" cannot but trigger...
Lol... if you want to argue that only the people who read the books you read will share your opinion and therefore "See the Light", I'm sorry, but that's a VERY lame argument ;-)
Anyone truly interested in the truth and the democratic process cultivates engaging in real, respectful debates in which it is the job of everyone to back up your claims with arguments and links to evidence/studies. If you want to skip that crucial civic duty and imagine that anyone who'd read your books would think the way you do, what's the difference between your approach of the truth and that of a fascist... ?
So with that, let's ask you again: WHY do you want to call the saving of an additional half a million American lives a "disaster"? Any concrete arguments?
I always believe that if a commenter refers a questioner to "Look it up on the Internet," or "you could try doing the work yourself" - well, that means that the poster hasn't done the research on their view and doesn't HAVE those sources. Guess you don't have handy the facts that led you to your view? Yet here you are, promoting them. Sloppy.
Just as a matter of "FACT" - many many many people who come here to be here also expand their minds with a variety of sources. I have to say after reading this thread that you are making a lot of far reaching generalizations with no evidence to back any of it up. You say that ACA is a disaster and that the majority of us all want a single payer system. Where did you get that? Have you asked all of us what we want? Have you ever been on an ACA funded policy or ACA that you funded yourself?
What are the promises Biden made and then forgot about? Did Biden forget about them, or was there perhaps some other reason he wasn't able to do everything he said? But since you did not provide evidence and proof, I cannot address your accusations.
The Trillion Dollar Bank Bailouts were George W. Bush in 2008 - read your history. I was actually there screaming at my TV while Bush handed over 900 Billion dollars to Henry Paulson with no strings attached and Henry Paulson handed it over to the big banks, and put other financials out of business -- all the while people were losing their homes to the mortgage disaster that caused all that. Or were you referring to something else?
What environmental disasters have been made by democratic malfeasance? The Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico? Was that the fault of Obama? How? and Prove it!
Which Democrats are corrupt, dishonest and deceitful? And what is your definition of corrupt? dishonest? and deceitful?
You scream 'foul' and blame it all on Democrats with nothing but hot air that follows your accusations. Put up or shut up!
So much of what you bring up is old news. Way old news. And, while I am not familiar with any of those names you put out, my guess is that there is much more opinion than fact there. If we can't get past the melonhead, the things people do want that are daily put forth by Bernie Sanders, will never happen. I don't need interviews with people like me. I need interviews from those in the know and experts. Most of us most likely do access other sources. We come here for truth and expert analysis.
Sorry Barb.. you will not get news here. You want news: Go to The Independent, The Irish Star, Reuters, Raw Story,, Guardian, New Republic, BBC, CBS,NPR... Meidas Touch is to news what Cliff Notes are to Tolstoy... It is a junior shooter composite site that breaks down into little itsy bitsy pieces the news of the day that they cull from original news sources. Go to AP. The people on that site are too lazy to seek out in depth anything... They get news from Tik Tok, U tube Joe Rogan, and Cracker Jack boxes. Benny boy is the equivalent of the jeweled suit glossy con man pig fuck TV evangelist. Praise the lord, rub your nuts and pass the plate.
Look here David I will say this once again BUT not nicely. GET THE FUCK off our channel you obviously fancy yourself as an intellectual much like trump fancies himself as a deal maker.
That's not what listing "specific sources" in a debate means. Your concept of truth is 100% subjective. YOU, individual Z, know best because YOU read X and Y. And why are your claims true? Because X and Y said so!
That's never ever how the truth works. You need to come up with SPECIFIC and OBJECTIVE arguments and evidence. All you have are "ad hominem" arguments. Cicero already showed, 2,000 years ago, why those are the weakest of all and using them simply means preaching to the choir, in other words, creating a little bubble of shared subjective opinions and refusing to leave it to confront the real world.
So once again: you claimed that the ACA, which already saved more than half a million additional American lives, is a "disaster". Please try to back up your claim with arguments and evidence, if you think you can, OR just admit that claims like that are mere temper tantrums...
You're right. This particular email from Meidas is not journalism. It's a feel-good, in your face response to the Joe Rogans of the world. It's designed to get us pumped and, yes, to become subscribers. The chest-thumping may be over-the-top, but there is so much more to Meidas Touch than this email. Go back to 4/25 and listen to the interview Ben conducted with Merici Vinton, who worked at the U.S.Digital Service until DOGE took over and turned her job into something she was unwilling to do. She explained exactly how it all went down. As a result, we got the truth from someone who was there when it happened. That is journalism, and it's just one example of what Meidas does on a daily basis. These long-form interviews give people like Merici Vinton, who are witnessing the "walking chaos" firsthand, the opportunity to enlighten all of us about what's happening. No doubt you can find "corrupt, dishonest, and deceitful" people in other administrations, and I'm all for cleaning that up. But standing up to the Trump administration is our priority right now.
I looked up several of the names you mentioned and will take a look at their writings. I reserved Aaron Goode's book at the library. Never hurts to widen your view.
I suspect your omniscience has burned out everyone in your sphere that used to engage with you. In your loneliness and need for engagement you landed here today. Did the argument fill you up? Even a little? I doubt it b/c you seem like you're calling out from a black hole of your own making. Maybe take a step back for introspection and a hard look at your life. While you're here, trying to manage MTN and the lives of others, who is managing yours? Sincerely, I wish you the best, David.
I'm not financially able either, but I'm here and re-stacking so more people can see real truth in reporting. Thank you for all you're doing to leave a trail of beauty amidst constant chaos. 💕🦋
Could you answer these questions for the public? When US born kids are exiled with their mothers, are they allowed to take their belongings with them? Cribs? Clothes? Savings? Homes? Meds? Who inherits those if not, the government perhaps? Are they just dropped off penniless in the streets of another country? WTF?!
Oh my goodness - the way I SCREAMED in my house at 720am. I am an Asian American, and I look up to Katie Phang, her bravery, confidence, and BADASS-ery.
Watching Katie's 2nd to last MSNBC show with Representative Jasmine Crockett brought me to tears. Thank you Meidas for making the RIGHT choice with collabing with Ms. Phang.
Happy Sunday everyone! Keep informed and keep stafe.
Yes! Keep going and welcome to Katie! To all the Meidas Mighty…KEEP TALKING ABOUT THIS CHANNEL to anyone that would listen! The truth is starting to get through the thick skulls that the Fox propaganda machine created. They can’t hide from the truth of the grocery prices, eggs, inflation, the stock market….and so on. Keep it up. I’m here in deep red NC and my neighbors are starting to realize it too! Don’t EVER give up!
NC here also. My neighbors are also coming around, disgusted with Trump. One actually took their Trump crap down and put out a sign saying, Sorry America, Ashamed we voted for Trump, will NEVER vote Republican again!!
Thank you so much Meisalis Brothers and all the Substack reporting. I loved our Grandfatherly Joe Biden and his teams of capable staff, taking care of the USA and the world. I am a caring Neighbour from Canada. 🇨🇦
They can bad mouth Biden all they want but we all know the truth about that. Biden's economy was the envy of the world and look where we are now! And everyone hates us to boot! People don't even want to visit America out of fear! Seriously, are they kidding! Do they really think we believe any of their bs! I am so thankful to have found this platform and proud to be among the Meidas Mighty! Let's go!!!
One thing about Biden, is when some of his policies would have negatively impacted Canada (& indirectly the US), we were able to discuss it & come to a reasonable accomodation.
Thanks to a Canadian, needless to say I am appalled at the actions and comments made by the dumpster…we care about you and Canada. Before the election I was frequently heard to say that I was moving to Canada if the orange deplorable was elected….. It is still my wish, not so easy to execute. On the other hand I need to stay here and fight the rush into the pit
KEEP SPEAKING THE TRUTH! THE "MEN" IN THIS WORLD NEED GO REALIZE WOMEN ARE FAR FROM FOOL'S. HENCE NO HARRIS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.....
GUARANTEE WE WOULDN'T BE GOING TO BED AND WAKING UP WONDERING WHAT IT. DID NOW, OR WHAT IT'S PLAND ARE FOR THE DAY. NEVER IN MY 50 YEAR'S HAVE I HAD TO WORRY. WE HAD THE MOST QUALIFIED WOMAN READY WITH TIM TO MAKE US EVEN BETTER, WITH NO WORRIES.
NOW WE HAVE DEMENTIA DON, A CONVICTED FELON, SA AND SO MUCH MORE! HE HAS YET TO SEE HIS JAIL CELL AND CAN'T AFFORD HIS BAIL. OH AND NOT A SOUL WILL BAIL HIM OUT BECAUSE HE'S A FAILURE!
Having been blessed with a progressive, activist Mom who said "fuck the kitchen" and became a school teacher........a Real Man....would not have it any other way.
I knew instinctivly that Hillary and Kamala would have made great leaders. Contolling Men make me sick....they give me untreatable brain fog.
The bottom feeding male Orange Turd control freaks should be encouraging their women to do amazing things.
Just FYI: it seems as if you just replied to one of my posts in this thread (I received an email notification) but I don't see it pop up here. That means that Peter, our self-declared pro-democracy crusader, just blocked me, before I could even reply to his reply to my post. Imho, blocking people on Substack should be prohibited. It's highly detrimental to real, respectful debates, and allows people to throw around claims while silencing everyone who disagrees with them, which cannot but distort the debate in their favor. It's the most cowardly way to "discuss" possible... . And it also makes it impossible for me to reply to anyone else directly inside the same thread.
Since that's the case, I'll reply here, copying your reply from the email notification I received.
You wrote:
"Truth? He's being an ass! Are you joining his side. If so, you two picked the wrong news source! We are FIESTY AF, AND DON'T PUT UP WITH SQUAT! YOUR TURN. CHECKMATE!"
Since I cannot see the original post you replied to, would you mind letting me know what the context was, so that I know what you mean by "Truth?" here? Thanks in advance!
Apparently it's impossible to share screenshots here, but someone else just "liked" my reply to Peter (which I cannot see anymore, since he blocked me) and it seems as if that's what you were replying to, so I'll copy paste what I wrote first (feel free to correct me if that was NOT the post you were replying to!):
I wrote to someone, as a comment on Peter's post:
"He's talking about the legacy media. CNN, ABC, CBS, the NYT etc. And he's simply stating the truth: when it comes to reporting on politics, especially during election years, the quality of reporting is absolutely horrible. There is NO in-depth discussion of all the issues that truly matter to the American people, and only big cynical headlines about the horse race. That's how they are co-responsible for the installation of fascism in the US today. And it's clear why they decided to replace their editorial board with algorithms, when it comes to selecting what to report on and what headlines to write: when clickbait replaces moral values, the millionaires and billionaires running these corporations get wealthier."
So the "truth" that I was referring to is the horrible way the legacy media reported on politics last summer (and in part already the years before that). I'm not criticizing them in general (I continue to read the NYT for about 45 minutes a day, for instance), but only when it comes to how they report on politics during election season.
I obviously disagree with Peter on other things he mentioned. So I'm basically not "siding with" anyone here, and merely focused on specific claims Peter made - agreeing with ONE of them and disagreeing with most others (which, apparently, was enough for him to block me instead of counterarguing...).
This is exactly what I am talking about, This is the service MeidasTouch provides... they breal the news down into very very simple terms, so that the fucking lazy simple people who believe in this site can understand it.NBC,REUTERS, ABC, BLOOMBERG, GUARDAIN, INDEPENDENT, MSNBC, CBS,,RAW STORY, MOTHER JONES, NEW REPUBLIC, BBC.. These are just a couple of reputable news sources but over the head of your crowd "The only place i get my news now?""" Fucking pathetic
Watch my mouth? Who the fuck are you the leader of the church group bible read...?"Dang mouth"??? You must be of them no brainers from Far Fuck Indiana. Give me a fucking break,,, Go back to your Bambi reruns
FUCKING FIRST OF ALL, YOU WILL NOT SPEAK AT ME THIS WAY!
PERIOD!
I'VE HAD ENOUGH NARCISSISTIC PRICKS IN MY LIFE TO NOT DEAL WITH AN INTERNET BULLY!
YOU WILL WATCH YOUR MOUTH TOWARDS WOMEN! I'LL STOP YOU EVERY TIME. AND I'M SURE THE MEDIAS TEAM WON'T PUT UP WITH IT EITHER. WHAT'S ONE COMMENTER VS THOUSANDS? NOTHING!!!FULL STOP.
INDIANA? NO, BUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM? THIS IS AN US MOVEMENT, AND I'M QUITE SURE 💯 WOULD AGREE WITH ME, WE DON'T NEED OR WANT AGITATOR'S LIKE YOU! JUST LOOK AT THE MINIMAL COMMENTS THUS FAR.
NOW, WHEN YOU'VE HAD YOUR COFFE, SMOKED YOUR BOWL... I'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR APOLOGY AS WILL ALL THE WOMEN ON THIS THREAD AND THE ENTIRETY OF THE MEDIAS MIGHTY WOMEN!
WRONG GROUP TO FLAP YOUR LIPS TO DUDE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I CATCH YOUR NARCISSISTIC COMMENT, AND THEN YOU ONLY SHOWED YOUR TRUE COLORS MORE.
Your acting like the regime if you want truth and transparency. Hell even if you don't want it, you are getting it
I'm so politically involved, I'd LOVE to debate you! Show you exactly why SO many "men" refused to vote for an overly educated black woman vs a con.
Hint: There's a TON of overly educated women, especially now.
Time and place, just let me know.
Until then, WE THE POWERFUL WOMEN WILL AWAIT A SINCERE APOLOGY.
He's talking about the legacy media. CNN, ABC, CBS, the NYT etc. And he's simply stating the truth: when it comes to reporting on politics, especially during election years, the quality of reporting is absolutely horrible.

Bullshit.. The media is drowning in news sources. There are news sources talking about news sources, CBS has for hours every night , of detailed discussion until you are blue in the face. I am so fucking sick of your bullshit about millionaires and billionaires, Save the crap,,, Did you eat breakfast today,,,use water, turn on oven, TV, computer,check your cell phone,, use a toaster, put on shoes,, use toilet paper, fill up car with oligarchy gas. go to movie, use Spotify, Amazon, google,.,,etc?? There is not a thing you do every day,, not a food you eat,, not a shit you take, not a song you listen to that is not in one way or another tied to as you call it"the millionaires and billionaires" Medias Touch is a fraud site,,, The owner Benny Boy has a net worth over 30 million,,, His wedding cost more than you make in three years. 'Legacy news"?? What the fuck is that? You sound just like Trump and his rant about "fake news" You somehow think that news generated from the extra room in the Everglades, shot thru a zoom, using an apple microphone, with one person.. sitting in front of a library showing the last 200 books read is closer to the truth? Independent news? What the fuck is that.. It is scary that all of you people sound the same, use the same expression, buy your backpacks at the same store and think that you are saving American democracy by cutting back on Amazon purchases and Spotify subscriptions. 1/3 of the country does not even have high speed wireless internet. The closest those 1/3 are to a store is Dollar General, the highest grade they finished was 8th, they do not have an American Express card, they can not afford lattes, extra bedroom, and large garage. They tape their shredded shoes,. etc.. These are the people who elected Trump. These people need their minds changed... they need to see they fucked up. That is the only salvation for the Democratic Party, It sure a shit is not going to saved by the Uncle: I Shit Myself" Bernie Sanders, and " I Have a Wet Vagina" AOC
Uncle I shit myself, and I refuse to retype your verbage on AOC!! YOUR DEFINITELY A 'GRAB EM BY THE PUSSY' 47 SUPPORTER SPEAKING LIKE THAT!
HOW DARE YOU! NEITHER ONE OF THEM NEEDS TO HOLD RALLIES TO FOLKS OF EVERY RACE, CREED AND COLOR. CREDIT SCORES AS WELL. ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND WITH HUGE TURNOUTS! THE PEOPLE ARE DONE. FACE IT. SLEEPY, SHITTY CON MAN DON IS A FRAUD AS HE'S ALWAYS BEEN, AND WORSE! TIME FOR THE CONVICTED FELON TO ACTUALLY SEE A CELL, AND SERVE HIS TIME!
I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE WITH 108 FELONIES, 34 CONVICTED ONE'S AND SUCH A BOND NO ONE WILL ASSIST HIM, THAT HASN'T SEEN A CELL IN MY 50 YEAR'S! HE CAN'T EVEN TRAVEL! BESIDES BEING A FELON, SO MANY COUNTRIES, USED TO BE FANTASTIC ALLIES, HAVE ZEROED HIM OUT! WAKE UP AND PAY ATTENTION.
MEDIA YOU SPEAK OF IS SCRIPTED.
EVERY CHANNEL, BUT MSNBC, WILL SAY THE SAME THING WORD FOR WORD.
I PERSONALLY AM DISABLED, AND YOU ARE OFFENSIVE AS HELL!
OVAL OFFICE SEAT WARMER SHITS HISSELF FROM A PODIUM SPEECH. HE CLEARLY IS CONCENTRATING AND FLUSTERED, AND SILENT AF WHILE HE DID SO. IM A 32 YEAR RETIRED CNA AND 12 YEAR HOSPICE NURSE, I KNOW THE SIGNS.
AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN ON HIS DEMENTIA OR FAMILY HISTORY OF ALZHEIMER'S.
All kinds of staff and leaders have literally said he stinks like shit constantly.
Sleepy Joe?
Who fell asleep at the NATIONAL CHURCH SERVICE HONORING HIS ELECTION? WHO FELL ASLEEP, LEFT EARLY, ALONE ( WITHOUT HIS WIFE, SHE TOOK A CAR), AND COMPLETELY DISREGARDED DRESS CODE FOR THE POPES FUNERAL? THAT MAKE UP CLOWN!
JOE WAS JUST FINE, ALWAYS HAS BEEN. SLEEPY JOE MY LITERAL ASS!! THE POPE COULDN'T EVEN STAND DUMP OR JD, YET THEY JUST HAD TO SHOW THEIR DISRESPECTFUL ASSES.
WHO IS IN CONTEMPT OF COURT, YET STILL IS DEPORTING, AND CHILDREN!
WHO HAS MORE LAWSUITS AND HAS BEEN SUED MORE THAN BISTORY, IN LESS THAN 100 DAYS, THAN THIS IDIOT?
HE WISHES HE WAS AS POWERFUL AS HE ACTS!
WHAT THE F IS WRONG WITH YOU?
DADDY ISSUES, OR? WERE YOU IGNORED IN LIFE?
NO EFFING WONDER!
MAKING ME CURSE LIKE A SAILOR IS BEYOND ME NORMALLY, SO GET USED TO THE PUNS.
IS THIS WHAT YOU CONSIDER A DEBATE?
TALKING SHIT?
NO, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
AND WE THE MEDIAS MIGHTY MEN AND WOMEN ARE NOW AWAITING A SERIOUS APOLOGY OR FUCKING SCROLL ON! FFS!!
Especially Ben! His networth matters NOT! He's fighting the good fight, and OBVIOUSLY very well!
BACK THE EFF OFF PETER! GO FOR A DRIVE OR SOMETHING.
AND AS FAR AS YOUR BOYCOTT COMMENTS. I PERSONALLY DON'T BUY OR EAT ANYTHING MY LOCAL FARMER'S RAISED, AND REFUSE TO USE AMAZON OR THE LIKES OF!
I BUY LOCAL. SUPPORT LOCAL. AND WILL CONTINUE! I also took every penny out of my bank accounts, and cancelled 11 of 12 Credit Cards!
BEZOS FKD UP TOO. TONS DID. LOOK AT THE STOCK MARKET.
IT'S TANKED!
DUMPY PANTS LATEST APPROVAL RATING AS OF LAST NIGHT, 39%.....
ARE WE BETTER YET?
GROW A SET IF YOU DON'T THINK I WON'T BE ALERTED VIA MESSAGE TO YOUR RHETORIC!
YOU GOT THE WRONG BITCH TO FUK WITH TODAY, PETER!
I'M IN TOO MUCH PAIN, YET YOU ARE A GREAT RELEASE.
Hm. So you can write "shit" and "fuck". Congratulations.
As to your idea that all millionaires are bad people and that that somehow refutes all the work that they do: any concrete arguments to back up your claim?
What's "GUARDAIN"? Just wondering, since I'm a Grauniad subscriber and worry about the similarities, especially from someone pleading for literate news consumption.
(The only people who only use one information source are the 'Magats'. I hope the OP was just being over-enthusiastic!)
It is a typo mother fucker Nobody likes a smart ass who is stupid enough to take a picture with a hat on,,,, You must be kidding but assuming you are legit "The Guardian" is a great British publication,,, that is free, informative and very very anti Trump.. It does a hell of a better job portraying the world than that piss Benny Boy Meidas does. The Independent is another English journal that is free, very very anti Trump, and offers free forums, The Raw Story is another, that is tremendous and very very very anti- Trump...free for all and welcomes all comments and never asks for you to pay a thing. Daily Kos is another very very anti Trump site that is also free, well renowned, and brutally pro Democratic. It was started by a Vietnamese person who immigrated and has had enough of this shit. It is also free for reading and comments. On all of these sites ,, you will see leftist opinion of the news, and hear/see what is happening before it hits Google or CNN. There are alternatives to the mass moron podcasting sites,, There are places for people with an attention span beyond 45 seconds, and who like the idea of reading more than two sentences. I think there are still people who actually read a paper but the are almost extinct....very few even read books anymore,, Sad to say many many people get their"news" so to speak,,, from Facebook, U tube Tik Tok. Joe Rogan, The Large Breasted Women Podcasters, Double Bubble gum, and bathroom urinal walls.
We are fucked. To hear that people have stopped watching the news, and get their news from a podcaster with a zoom is just terribly sad.
My HAT is what you choose to bitch about? FFS, I'm also wearing a mask and glasses! But hey, you weren't paying much attention anyway, were you.
If you had been you'd have noticed that I KNOW what the bloody Graun is since I'm a subscriber- try READING things before replying.
Sorry, but I'd been working under the assumption that you just might have a sense of humour(and be familiar enough with the Guardian to recognise MY readers in-joke spelling).
Lol. Ever heard of a Facebook group called 'Uncle Billy Chucklefuck's Shitshow'? Go look it up if not; I get the impression from THIS post of yours that you'd feel right at home there. 😸
So proud to be a part of the Meidas Mighty. Became a paid subscriber back in November and had no idea we would come so far..so fast. Thanks Ben and the entire Meidas staff. And I thank all of the Meidas Mighty army all over the world.
So excited that Katie Phang has joined the MTN and look forward to more journalist coming onboard. Trump wants to shutdown the independent media as he cannot control the narrative and how people view him. He’s got the worst approval rating this early in a term and it is thanks in part because of the Meidas Touch Network and Legal AF. Keep shinning the light and elbows up.
Me too I love her this is going to be great bring it on Fox,Trump And Maga
This is not the place for promotion
SPAM! Reported. STOP this nonsense!
I also reported and blocked that spammer.
Watching the Orange Turd in his Blue suit made me throw up and the suffered extreme brain fog.
reported
> He’s got the worst approval rating this early in a term and it is thanks in part because of the Meidas Touch Network and Legal AF. <
and because Trump is a horrible person to begin with.
Because he is a complete fraud.
Generally, polls do not get a statistical sample. Respondents do not answer truthfully -- say what they think the pollster wants to hear.
If you ask whether we should join the axis of evil, I bet less than 5% agree.
Yippee for Katie Phang joining MTN!!!
Her sign off speech mentioned MeidasTouch.........With Katie on board, MTN will get even stronger............IHIPNEWS is playing clips from MTN now..........
James, excellent comment! I’m with you on your statement and agree completely!! 💯👍
I never watched her as I never had cable. Looking forward to seeing what she has to say.
I haven’t had cable in nearly 20 years but have watched plenty of Katie Phang on YouTube. She’s fantastic!
Congratulations. You do not watch TV... You are one of the fool idiots who get their news from Tik Tok, Facebook,,X, and U tube,,, How fucking pathetic
No TikTok etc. Kid, seriously, you’ve never heard of AM radio with its plethora of news stations and talk shows voicing every side? And you’ve never heard of any kind of printed news outlet, or apps that provide all of them?
And YouTube? Everything is to be had on there and intelligent people search out every kind of source to get the full picture.
Katie is one-of-a-kind!
So honest, positive, and knowledgeable! Aren’t we lucky!
I'm looking forward to seeing her here also. I've never seen or heard of her either. I used to love MSNBC but got rid of cable 4 years ago. It's not the same on YOUTUBE.
Bring Katie on.
me too, love her as well! I didn't know she was joining MTN, fabulous news!!!
I'd be surprised if 100% of the tariffs are still in place by May 10th. Trump changes his mind daily.
Team sport mentality ? If you are so pissed at Meidas then get the hell off our channel. President Joe Biden was not perfect nor has any president been so. You calling trump a chaos bomb rather than a fascist criminal says much about you. You are being deceitful by that very description of him. This is not a popularity contest. This platform has given a voice to many journalists who have been fired or silenced by their own networks. I am proud to be a part of the Meidas Mighty. There is no such thing as the unvarnished truth because human beings will always filter their truths from their own experiences. By the way, we are not sheep here. You claiming we watch Meidas because they tell us only what we want to hear is absurd.
I wonder if we might be seeing the start of paid bashers/ critics? Funded by folks like Elon! Goal to undermine dicredit and create uncertanty?? I can.picture.Elon.offering that
Notebook mention all the spam ads that have been cropping up like whack-a-mole.
Dang autocorrect! Should have been "not to mention," not "notebook."
Hi Scott, I would not put anything past anyone in this maga sphere, The good thing is we have each other's backs ALL DAY.
Agree!! Paid critics/ bashers get paid with how many responcess.they get!! Their efforts are so toxic! then add.elons.algo bots?? Most all projection coming the.Donald and.Don Jr.!! Their.the."fakes".
👍
Eccles is a fraud and a bore. BLOCKED.
Thank you Ed. You just made me laugh. I needed that. The Meidas Mighty have the fight in us. Apparently, theses idiots don't know who we are...
First of all, subscribing to the MTN YouTube channel is FREE. No money needed at all. And it is perfectly possible to subscribe to the MTN Substack for free too. Aside from that, Ben didn't even mention the WORD "money", let alone ask for it. So your first line already is extremely easy to refute. Not a good start for someone who wants better reporting...
And unfortunately, the rest of your post is just venting. Your claims are extremely vague and cynical, with nothing to back them up.
How exactly is that going to help us defeat fascism?
When anybody starts venting against MTN.........that "venter" does not fully grasp this pivitol time in history. I went to being a founder a few months ago......that was a no-brainer for me. Helping build the foundation for MTN is my duty in order to preserve democracy and freedom. "Venters" have the freedom to express their voices..........the truth will win over fascism.
While MTM is free,many people like me support this channel with small monthly payments. I pay $5. But when you have thousands of people paying $5 or more that's quite a sum of money. And you neglect the fact that people will watch however they can because they hate Trump and his cronies. People aren't getting paid to protest in major cities. People with a conscience will stand up and fight because they are true patriots no matter what.
How exactly is that a comment on what I wrote?
I occasionally watch some of those as well. The important part is that we have all kinds of independent reporters to choose from. Something that Fascism would never allow.
Except Jerry Weiss, Jessica Denson....
You're not "calling out bullshit here". To do that, you need to be PRECISE and come up with ARGUMENTS and EVIDENCE. Instead, you throw around vague and cynical complaints, with nothing to back them up at all. How will that help anyone?
Example: you join the GOP here in calling the ACA "a disaster". Nonpartisan studies have shown that it has saved an additional HALF A MILLION American lives by now. If you want to call that a disaster, you clearly lost your moral compass. Democracy can only survive when citizens are willing to cultivate a strong moral compass and patiently fact-check and back up claims. Not by simply indulging in the negative emotions that Trump's "flooding the zone" cannot but trigger...
Lol... if you want to argue that only the people who read the books you read will share your opinion and therefore "See the Light", I'm sorry, but that's a VERY lame argument ;-)
Anyone truly interested in the truth and the democratic process cultivates engaging in real, respectful debates in which it is the job of everyone to back up your claims with arguments and links to evidence/studies. If you want to skip that crucial civic duty and imagine that anyone who'd read your books would think the way you do, what's the difference between your approach of the truth and that of a fascist... ?
So with that, let's ask you again: WHY do you want to call the saving of an additional half a million American lives a "disaster"? Any concrete arguments?
I always believe that if a commenter refers a questioner to "Look it up on the Internet," or "you could try doing the work yourself" - well, that means that the poster hasn't done the research on their view and doesn't HAVE those sources. Guess you don't have handy the facts that led you to your view? Yet here you are, promoting them. Sloppy.
Wow, if Meidas has gotten you this mad they're doing their job right.
You don't have to come here. Go to your safe space (Fox "news," Newsmax, etc.) to denigrate Democrats all your little heart desires to.
Why don't you just get lost. Nobody wants to hear your comments try speaking to the maga morons!!
Just as a matter of "FACT" - many many many people who come here to be here also expand their minds with a variety of sources. I have to say after reading this thread that you are making a lot of far reaching generalizations with no evidence to back any of it up. You say that ACA is a disaster and that the majority of us all want a single payer system. Where did you get that? Have you asked all of us what we want? Have you ever been on an ACA funded policy or ACA that you funded yourself?
What are the promises Biden made and then forgot about? Did Biden forget about them, or was there perhaps some other reason he wasn't able to do everything he said? But since you did not provide evidence and proof, I cannot address your accusations.
The Trillion Dollar Bank Bailouts were George W. Bush in 2008 - read your history. I was actually there screaming at my TV while Bush handed over 900 Billion dollars to Henry Paulson with no strings attached and Henry Paulson handed it over to the big banks, and put other financials out of business -- all the while people were losing their homes to the mortgage disaster that caused all that. Or were you referring to something else?
What environmental disasters have been made by democratic malfeasance? The Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico? Was that the fault of Obama? How? and Prove it!
Which Democrats are corrupt, dishonest and deceitful? And what is your definition of corrupt? dishonest? and deceitful?
You scream 'foul' and blame it all on Democrats with nothing but hot air that follows your accusations. Put up or shut up!
So much of what you bring up is old news. Way old news. And, while I am not familiar with any of those names you put out, my guess is that there is much more opinion than fact there. If we can't get past the melonhead, the things people do want that are daily put forth by Bernie Sanders, will never happen. I don't need interviews with people like me. I need interviews from those in the know and experts. Most of us most likely do access other sources. We come here for truth and expert analysis.
Sorry Barb.. you will not get news here. You want news: Go to The Independent, The Irish Star, Reuters, Raw Story,, Guardian, New Republic, BBC, CBS,NPR... Meidas Touch is to news what Cliff Notes are to Tolstoy... It is a junior shooter composite site that breaks down into little itsy bitsy pieces the news of the day that they cull from original news sources. Go to AP. The people on that site are too lazy to seek out in depth anything... They get news from Tik Tok, U tube Joe Rogan, and Cracker Jack boxes. Benny boy is the equivalent of the jeweled suit glossy con man pig fuck TV evangelist. Praise the lord, rub your nuts and pass the plate.
I guess your reading comprehension isn't so good. I get my news from a number of sources. I didn't mention by name. You need to grow up.
Who the fuck was talking to you? That is classic narcissism, you think it has to do with you... It was a statement not an accusation,,, you twat
Hey little peter, Fuck you. Call a woman a twat ? YOU are an asshole. Come on up to New York and talk shit like that you punk ass.
Look here David I will say this once again BUT not nicely. GET THE FUCK off our channel you obviously fancy yourself as an intellectual much like trump fancies himself as a deal maker.
Any arguments to back up your claim?
That's not what listing "specific sources" in a debate means. Your concept of truth is 100% subjective. YOU, individual Z, know best because YOU read X and Y. And why are your claims true? Because X and Y said so!
That's never ever how the truth works. You need to come up with SPECIFIC and OBJECTIVE arguments and evidence. All you have are "ad hominem" arguments. Cicero already showed, 2,000 years ago, why those are the weakest of all and using them simply means preaching to the choir, in other words, creating a little bubble of shared subjective opinions and refusing to leave it to confront the real world.
So once again: you claimed that the ACA, which already saved more than half a million additional American lives, is a "disaster". Please try to back up your claim with arguments and evidence, if you think you can, OR just admit that claims like that are mere temper tantrums...
F OFF
You're right. This particular email from Meidas is not journalism. It's a feel-good, in your face response to the Joe Rogans of the world. It's designed to get us pumped and, yes, to become subscribers. The chest-thumping may be over-the-top, but there is so much more to Meidas Touch than this email. Go back to 4/25 and listen to the interview Ben conducted with Merici Vinton, who worked at the U.S.Digital Service until DOGE took over and turned her job into something she was unwilling to do. She explained exactly how it all went down. As a result, we got the truth from someone who was there when it happened. That is journalism, and it's just one example of what Meidas does on a daily basis. These long-form interviews give people like Merici Vinton, who are witnessing the "walking chaos" firsthand, the opportunity to enlighten all of us about what's happening. No doubt you can find "corrupt, dishonest, and deceitful" people in other administrations, and I'm all for cleaning that up. But standing up to the Trump administration is our priority right now.
I looked up several of the names you mentioned and will take a look at their writings. I reserved Aaron Goode's book at the library. Never hurts to widen your view.
Your mind games won’t work here…
I suspect your omniscience has burned out everyone in your sphere that used to engage with you. In your loneliness and need for engagement you landed here today. Did the argument fill you up? Even a little? I doubt it b/c you seem like you're calling out from a black hole of your own making. Maybe take a step back for introspection and a hard look at your life. While you're here, trying to manage MTN and the lives of others, who is managing yours? Sincerely, I wish you the best, David.
Oh go away.
I have no money right now, but i would if i could. Thank you for all you do
I'm not financially able either, but I'm here and re-stacking so more people can see real truth in reporting. Thank you for all you're doing to leave a trail of beauty amidst constant chaos. 💕🦋
Same with me!
Sadly, me too.
God bless you ❤️
Could you answer these questions for the public? When US born kids are exiled with their mothers, are they allowed to take their belongings with them? Cribs? Clothes? Savings? Homes? Meds? Who inherits those if not, the government perhaps? Are they just dropped off penniless in the streets of another country? WTF?!
Hit like on those YouTube videos, comments help too!
Oh my goodness - the way I SCREAMED in my house at 720am. I am an Asian American, and I look up to Katie Phang, her bravery, confidence, and BADASS-ery.
Watching Katie's 2nd to last MSNBC show with Representative Jasmine Crockett brought me to tears. Thank you Meidas for making the RIGHT choice with collabing with Ms. Phang.
Happy Sunday everyone! Keep informed and keep stafe.
Glory to South Korea & Slava Ukraini !
MTN.....Please do a repeat of the Katie-Jasmine interview.......only tears of joy will happen!!!!
I saw Katie's last post on MSNBC.
Very impressed, which is why I am here.
Yes! Keep going and welcome to Katie! To all the Meidas Mighty…KEEP TALKING ABOUT THIS CHANNEL to anyone that would listen! The truth is starting to get through the thick skulls that the Fox propaganda machine created. They can’t hide from the truth of the grocery prices, eggs, inflation, the stock market….and so on. Keep it up. I’m here in deep red NC and my neighbors are starting to realize it too! Don’t EVER give up!
NC here also. My neighbors are also coming around, disgusted with Trump. One actually took their Trump crap down and put out a sign saying, Sorry America, Ashamed we voted for Trump, will NEVER vote Republican again!!
THAT is HUGE from a native in this red state.
Wow amazing!!
Yeah, that is the news and action that is needed!,thank your neighbors from an oldster in Minnesota
Yes! Fox News, Trump and MAGA are out of here!
I too am in deep red Nc. Midas Onward
I’m in deep red NC also! Doing my best calling and writing Congressman!
Thank you so much Meisalis Brothers and all the Substack reporting. I loved our Grandfatherly Joe Biden and his teams of capable staff, taking care of the USA and the world. I am a caring Neighbour from Canada. 🇨🇦
We live in the USA but we are flying a Canadian Flag at our house. We love Canada and we love that you are standing up to Trump! Elbows up!
Thank you!!! ❤️❤️🇨🇦
I would be flying the Canadian flag……and/or flying the US flag upside down but for community rules. That is probably saving me from myself, haha!
Same here
BTW, many thanks to our Canadian neighbors who understand our heartbreak over what is going on here. ❤️
Spot On!
We Canadians can see what you are going through.
We are only indirectly affected, and we stand with you against Trump & company.
Many thanks to Canada. I love your country!
I was travelling in Italy and France recently. We had Canadian flag pins. We met lovely Americans who support us and want Trump gone! Thank you 🥰
Canada appreciates you all! Thank you! 🇨🇦❤️🩹😍
Elbows up and THANK YOU for the continued support! We definitely see you all, and appreciate the heck out of it!
They can bad mouth Biden all they want but we all know the truth about that. Biden's economy was the envy of the world and look where we are now! And everyone hates us to boot! People don't even want to visit America out of fear! Seriously, are they kidding! Do they really think we believe any of their bs! I am so thankful to have found this platform and proud to be among the Meidas Mighty! Let's go!!!
One thing about Biden, is when some of his policies would have negatively impacted Canada (& indirectly the US), we were able to discuss it & come to a reasonable accomodation.
Like friends.
Canada is "family" to many of us here in Maine . We are so grateful for your emotional support. As Ben says, you are the Maple Mighty.
Thanks to a Canadian, needless to say I am appalled at the actions and comments made by the dumpster…we care about you and Canada. Before the election I was frequently heard to say that I was moving to Canada if the orange deplorable was elected….. It is still my wish, not so easy to execute. On the other hand I need to stay here and fight the rush into the pit
Me, also. 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp
Keep on keeping on; love your work!!!
Ain't no stopping us (MTN and the MM)now! We're on the MOVE 👍💪💕
Never back down! Loving how MeidasTouch has grown and continues to grow. #MeidasMightyStrong
Oh man the bullies are scared including them screeching. The Meidastouch keep up the fight
Welcome Katie Phang. Now reach out to Rachel Maddow and Laurence O’Donnell. Keep growing MeidasTouch.
Rachel and Laurence are two of my favorites also. Facts matter!!
Rachel Maddow is a really positive, intelligent interviewer.
She would be a big plus.
Awesome keep up the good work this is the only place that I actually get my news now. Thanks again!!
KEEP SPEAKING THE TRUTH! THE "MEN" IN THIS WORLD NEED GO REALIZE WOMEN ARE FAR FROM FOOL'S. HENCE NO HARRIS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.....
GUARANTEE WE WOULDN'T BE GOING TO BED AND WAKING UP WONDERING WHAT IT. DID NOW, OR WHAT IT'S PLAND ARE FOR THE DAY. NEVER IN MY 50 YEAR'S HAVE I HAD TO WORRY. WE HAD THE MOST QUALIFIED WOMAN READY WITH TIM TO MAKE US EVEN BETTER, WITH NO WORRIES.
NOW WE HAVE DEMENTIA DON, A CONVICTED FELON, SA AND SO MUCH MORE! HE HAS YET TO SEE HIS JAIL CELL AND CAN'T AFFORD HIS BAIL. OH AND NOT A SOUL WILL BAIL HIM OUT BECAUSE HE'S A FAILURE!
WE TRIED TO WARN THEM....
LET THEM EAT PIE.
KNOW THE MOVIE?
Having been blessed with a progressive, activist Mom who said "fuck the kitchen" and became a school teacher........a Real Man....would not have it any other way.
I knew instinctivly that Hillary and Kamala would have made great leaders. Contolling Men make me sick....they give me untreatable brain fog.
The bottom feeding male Orange Turd control freaks should be encouraging their women to do amazing things.
BOOM!! 👊
Just FYI: it seems as if you just replied to one of my posts in this thread (I received an email notification) but I don't see it pop up here. That means that Peter, our self-declared pro-democracy crusader, just blocked me, before I could even reply to his reply to my post. Imho, blocking people on Substack should be prohibited. It's highly detrimental to real, respectful debates, and allows people to throw around claims while silencing everyone who disagrees with them, which cannot but distort the debate in their favor. It's the most cowardly way to "discuss" possible... . And it also makes it impossible for me to reply to anyone else directly inside the same thread.
Since that's the case, I'll reply here, copying your reply from the email notification I received.
You wrote:
"Truth? He's being an ass! Are you joining his side. If so, you two picked the wrong news source! We are FIESTY AF, AND DON'T PUT UP WITH SQUAT! YOUR TURN. CHECKMATE!"
Since I cannot see the original post you replied to, would you mind letting me know what the context was, so that I know what you mean by "Truth?" here? Thanks in advance!
Absolutely!! I'll screenshot shot it all.
Apparently it's impossible to share screenshots here, but someone else just "liked" my reply to Peter (which I cannot see anymore, since he blocked me) and it seems as if that's what you were replying to, so I'll copy paste what I wrote first (feel free to correct me if that was NOT the post you were replying to!):
I wrote to someone, as a comment on Peter's post:
"He's talking about the legacy media. CNN, ABC, CBS, the NYT etc. And he's simply stating the truth: when it comes to reporting on politics, especially during election years, the quality of reporting is absolutely horrible. There is NO in-depth discussion of all the issues that truly matter to the American people, and only big cynical headlines about the horse race. That's how they are co-responsible for the installation of fascism in the US today. And it's clear why they decided to replace their editorial board with algorithms, when it comes to selecting what to report on and what headlines to write: when clickbait replaces moral values, the millionaires and billionaires running these corporations get wealthier."
So the "truth" that I was referring to is the horrible way the legacy media reported on politics last summer (and in part already the years before that). I'm not criticizing them in general (I continue to read the NYT for about 45 minutes a day, for instance), but only when it comes to how they report on politics during election season.
I obviously disagree with Peter on other things he mentioned. So I'm basically not "siding with" anyone here, and merely focused on specific claims Peter made - agreeing with ONE of them and disagreeing with most others (which, apparently, was enough for him to block me instead of counterarguing...).
Does that make my point clearer?
This is exactly what I am talking about, This is the service MeidasTouch provides... they breal the news down into very very simple terms, so that the fucking lazy simple people who believe in this site can understand it.NBC,REUTERS, ABC, BLOOMBERG, GUARDAIN, INDEPENDENT, MSNBC, CBS,,RAW STORY, MOTHER JONES, NEW REPUBLIC, BBC.. These are just a couple of reputable news sources but over the head of your crowd "The only place i get my news now?""" Fucking pathetic
Go away Peter
I reported his rude ass.
That's just NOT OUR energy
FULL STOP PETER!
I did also...potty mouth. His momma must be so proud
I cursed, sorry. But he deserved every word. Both replies. Aka they look like book's.
Yet, he continued..... Here I go again. Mouthy one that I am. He said AOC HAS A WET VAGINA.... WTF!!!!!
Maga much??
MSNBC PERIOD!
BRING RACHEL TO US HERE TO @Ben and watch us overtake all!
Screw the haters and bashers!
Especially towards a woman!
WATCH YOUR DANG TONE AND MOUTH!
FULL STOP!
Joy Reid also........she has more balls than the entire Orange cultasphere could ever dream of.
Watch my mouth? Who the fuck are you the leader of the church group bible read...?"Dang mouth"??? You must be of them no brainers from Far Fuck Indiana. Give me a fucking break,,, Go back to your Bambi reruns
FUCKING FIRST OF ALL, YOU WILL NOT SPEAK AT ME THIS WAY!
PERIOD!
I'VE HAD ENOUGH NARCISSISTIC PRICKS IN MY LIFE TO NOT DEAL WITH AN INTERNET BULLY!
YOU WILL WATCH YOUR MOUTH TOWARDS WOMEN! I'LL STOP YOU EVERY TIME. AND I'M SURE THE MEDIAS TEAM WON'T PUT UP WITH IT EITHER. WHAT'S ONE COMMENTER VS THOUSANDS? NOTHING!!!FULL STOP.
INDIANA? NO, BUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM? THIS IS AN US MOVEMENT, AND I'M QUITE SURE 💯 WOULD AGREE WITH ME, WE DON'T NEED OR WANT AGITATOR'S LIKE YOU! JUST LOOK AT THE MINIMAL COMMENTS THUS FAR.
NOW, WHEN YOU'VE HAD YOUR COFFE, SMOKED YOUR BOWL... I'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR APOLOGY AS WILL ALL THE WOMEN ON THIS THREAD AND THE ENTIRETY OF THE MEDIAS MIGHTY WOMEN!
WRONG GROUP TO FLAP YOUR LIPS TO DUDE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I CATCH YOUR NARCISSISTIC COMMENT, AND THEN YOU ONLY SHOWED YOUR TRUE COLORS MORE.
Your acting like the regime if you want truth and transparency. Hell even if you don't want it, you are getting it
I'm so politically involved, I'd LOVE to debate you! Show you exactly why SO many "men" refused to vote for an overly educated black woman vs a con.
Hint: There's a TON of overly educated women, especially now.
Time and place, just let me know.
Until then, WE THE POWERFUL WOMEN WILL AWAIT A SINCERE APOLOGY.

YOUR TURN.
CHECKMATE!
Bullshit.. The media is drowning in news sources. There are news sources talking about news sources, CBS has for hours every night , of detailed discussion until you are blue in the face. I am so fucking sick of your bullshit about millionaires and billionaires, Save the crap,,, Did you eat breakfast today,,,use water, turn on oven, TV, computer,check your cell phone,, use a toaster, put on shoes,, use toilet paper, fill up car with oligarchy gas. go to movie, use Spotify, Amazon, google,.,,etc?? There is not a thing you do every day,, not a food you eat,, not a shit you take, not a song you listen to that is not in one way or another tied to as you call it"the millionaires and billionaires" Medias Touch is a fraud site,,, The owner Benny Boy has a net worth over 30 million,,, His wedding cost more than you make in three years. 'Legacy news"?? What the fuck is that? You sound just like Trump and his rant about "fake news" You somehow think that news generated from the extra room in the Everglades, shot thru a zoom, using an apple microphone, with one person.. sitting in front of a library showing the last 200 books read is closer to the truth? Independent news? What the fuck is that.. It is scary that all of you people sound the same, use the same expression, buy your backpacks at the same store and think that you are saving American democracy by cutting back on Amazon purchases and Spotify subscriptions. 1/3 of the country does not even have high speed wireless internet. The closest those 1/3 are to a store is Dollar General, the highest grade they finished was 8th, they do not have an American Express card, they can not afford lattes, extra bedroom, and large garage. They tape their shredded shoes,. etc.. These are the people who elected Trump. These people need their minds changed... they need to see they fucked up. That is the only salvation for the Democratic Party, It sure a shit is not going to saved by the Uncle: I Shit Myself" Bernie Sanders, and " I Have a Wet Vagina" AOC
WOW!!!
SMOKE ANOTHER BOWL AND CHILL PETER!
YOU ARE OFF THE FUCKING CHAIN!!
Uncle I shit myself, and I refuse to retype your verbage on AOC!! YOUR DEFINITELY A 'GRAB EM BY THE PUSSY' 47 SUPPORTER SPEAKING LIKE THAT!
HOW DARE YOU! NEITHER ONE OF THEM NEEDS TO HOLD RALLIES TO FOLKS OF EVERY RACE, CREED AND COLOR. CREDIT SCORES AS WELL. ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND WITH HUGE TURNOUTS! THE PEOPLE ARE DONE. FACE IT. SLEEPY, SHITTY CON MAN DON IS A FRAUD AS HE'S ALWAYS BEEN, AND WORSE! TIME FOR THE CONVICTED FELON TO ACTUALLY SEE A CELL, AND SERVE HIS TIME!
I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE WITH 108 FELONIES, 34 CONVICTED ONE'S AND SUCH A BOND NO ONE WILL ASSIST HIM, THAT HASN'T SEEN A CELL IN MY 50 YEAR'S! HE CAN'T EVEN TRAVEL! BESIDES BEING A FELON, SO MANY COUNTRIES, USED TO BE FANTASTIC ALLIES, HAVE ZEROED HIM OUT! WAKE UP AND PAY ATTENTION.
MEDIA YOU SPEAK OF IS SCRIPTED.
EVERY CHANNEL, BUT MSNBC, WILL SAY THE SAME THING WORD FOR WORD.
I PERSONALLY AM DISABLED, AND YOU ARE OFFENSIVE AS HELL!
OVAL OFFICE SEAT WARMER SHITS HISSELF FROM A PODIUM SPEECH. HE CLEARLY IS CONCENTRATING AND FLUSTERED, AND SILENT AF WHILE HE DID SO. IM A 32 YEAR RETIRED CNA AND 12 YEAR HOSPICE NURSE, I KNOW THE SIGNS.
AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN ON HIS DEMENTIA OR FAMILY HISTORY OF ALZHEIMER'S.
All kinds of staff and leaders have literally said he stinks like shit constantly.
Sleepy Joe?
Who fell asleep at the NATIONAL CHURCH SERVICE HONORING HIS ELECTION? WHO FELL ASLEEP, LEFT EARLY, ALONE ( WITHOUT HIS WIFE, SHE TOOK A CAR), AND COMPLETELY DISREGARDED DRESS CODE FOR THE POPES FUNERAL? THAT MAKE UP CLOWN!
JOE WAS JUST FINE, ALWAYS HAS BEEN. SLEEPY JOE MY LITERAL ASS!! THE POPE COULDN'T EVEN STAND DUMP OR JD, YET THEY JUST HAD TO SHOW THEIR DISRESPECTFUL ASSES.
WHO IS IN CONTEMPT OF COURT, YET STILL IS DEPORTING, AND CHILDREN!
WHO HAS MORE LAWSUITS AND HAS BEEN SUED MORE THAN BISTORY, IN LESS THAN 100 DAYS, THAN THIS IDIOT?
HE WISHES HE WAS AS POWERFUL AS HE ACTS!
WHAT THE F IS WRONG WITH YOU?
DADDY ISSUES, OR? WERE YOU IGNORED IN LIFE?
NO EFFING WONDER!
MAKING ME CURSE LIKE A SAILOR IS BEYOND ME NORMALLY, SO GET USED TO THE PUNS.
IS THIS WHAT YOU CONSIDER A DEBATE?
TALKING SHIT?
NO, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
AND WE THE MEDIAS MIGHTY MEN AND WOMEN ARE NOW AWAITING A SERIOUS APOLOGY OR FUCKING SCROLL ON! FFS!!
Especially Ben! His networth matters NOT! He's fighting the good fight, and OBVIOUSLY very well!
BACK THE EFF OFF PETER! GO FOR A DRIVE OR SOMETHING.
AND AS FAR AS YOUR BOYCOTT COMMENTS. I PERSONALLY DON'T BUY OR EAT ANYTHING MY LOCAL FARMER'S RAISED, AND REFUSE TO USE AMAZON OR THE LIKES OF!
I BUY LOCAL. SUPPORT LOCAL. AND WILL CONTINUE! I also took every penny out of my bank accounts, and cancelled 11 of 12 Credit Cards!
BEZOS FKD UP TOO. TONS DID. LOOK AT THE STOCK MARKET.
IT'S TANKED!
DUMPY PANTS LATEST APPROVAL RATING AS OF LAST NIGHT, 39%.....
ARE WE BETTER YET?
GROW A SET IF YOU DON'T THINK I WON'T BE ALERTED VIA MESSAGE TO YOUR RHETORIC!
YOU GOT THE WRONG BITCH TO FUK WITH TODAY, PETER!
I'M IN TOO MUCH PAIN, YET YOU ARE A GREAT RELEASE.
DUMBASS!
Hm. So you can write "shit" and "fuck". Congratulations.
As to your idea that all millionaires are bad people and that that somehow refutes all the work that they do: any concrete arguments to back up your claim?
Where in the world did I say that millionaires are bad people? You are deluded
Looks as if I have more higher up contacts than you counted on... Your comment is about to be famous and NOT in a good way.
And Peter, don't bother trying to delete it. I already took the screenshots.
You dead tool have messed up. Capital Hill is going to eat this up.
What's "GUARDAIN"? Just wondering, since I'm a Grauniad subscriber and worry about the similarities, especially from someone pleading for literate news consumption.
(The only people who only use one information source are the 'Magats'. I hope the OP was just being over-enthusiastic!)
Sir, don't listen to the rhetoric. Scroll by, and read how the TRUE feel. Please
The Guardian. Newspaper.
Thanks for the aid offered innocently. I already knew- as I said, I'm a subscriber.
Unfortunately I joked about it, using reader-slang, expecting yer man Peter to have a sense of humour. Like I say though - thanks for trying to help.
Right
It is a typo mother fucker Nobody likes a smart ass who is stupid enough to take a picture with a hat on,,,, You must be kidding but assuming you are legit "The Guardian" is a great British publication,,, that is free, informative and very very anti Trump.. It does a hell of a better job portraying the world than that piss Benny Boy Meidas does. The Independent is another English journal that is free, very very anti Trump, and offers free forums, The Raw Story is another, that is tremendous and very very very anti- Trump...free for all and welcomes all comments and never asks for you to pay a thing. Daily Kos is another very very anti Trump site that is also free, well renowned, and brutally pro Democratic. It was started by a Vietnamese person who immigrated and has had enough of this shit. It is also free for reading and comments. On all of these sites ,, you will see leftist opinion of the news, and hear/see what is happening before it hits Google or CNN. There are alternatives to the mass moron podcasting sites,, There are places for people with an attention span beyond 45 seconds, and who like the idea of reading more than two sentences. I think there are still people who actually read a paper but the are almost extinct....very few even read books anymore,, Sad to say many many people get their"news" so to speak,,, from Facebook, U tube Tik Tok. Joe Rogan, The Large Breasted Women Podcasters, Double Bubble gum, and bathroom urinal walls.
We are fucked. To hear that people have stopped watching the news, and get their news from a podcaster with a zoom is just terribly sad.
My HAT is what you choose to bitch about? FFS, I'm also wearing a mask and glasses! But hey, you weren't paying much attention anyway, were you.
If you had been you'd have noticed that I KNOW what the bloody Graun is since I'm a subscriber- try READING things before replying.
Sorry, but I'd been working under the assumption that you just might have a sense of humour(and be familiar enough with the Guardian to recognise MY readers in-joke spelling).
Now go play in traffic.
You need a spelling lesson!
And so are you
WE FIGHT WHEN WE'RE RIGHT!
Meidas Touch with its subscription only funding is the new definition of public broadcasting.
That is nuts
Poor peter living up to the peter principle. Blow jobs and beer lost and everything worthwhile ..
Hey John: Speaking of blow jobs,,,go have your Sunday sex with a zoo animal.,.. Fuck u very much
How typical. Nothing intelligent to say peter? Don't go away mad, just go away.
Lol. Ever heard of a Facebook group called 'Uncle Billy Chucklefuck's Shitshow'? Go look it up if not; I get the impression from THIS post of yours that you'd feel right at home there. 😸
Why? You forgot to add that.
You just majorly upped your game with Katie Phang.
So proud to be a part of the Meidas Mighty. Became a paid subscriber back in November and had no idea we would come so far..so fast. Thanks Ben and the entire Meidas staff. And I thank all of the Meidas Mighty army all over the world.
Great catch with Katy!! Keep it up.
