Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.

Charlie Angus is so cool!! Glad that he is fighting against the bastards with us!!
In that spirit of sharing, here is why we must question and the Biden Boys must explain to us what they know. We don't need some dark money associated or second hand strings to a party manipulating their own independent media with DARK MONEY. bsky.app/profile/thin...
BULLSHIT!! HE'S ONE OF POILIEVRE'S BEST PALS.

If you wanna go all caps, then bring out the evidence. Your social is clearly dedicated sentiment left. So if you have evidence of that, please share it with your fellow Canadians. Do play American hit and run posts. Please. #CanadaFIRST #CanadaSTRONG #BoycottUSA #BoycottAMERICA #BoycottMAINE
Sorry. Correction: DON'T PLAY
Complete nonsense. Charlie Angus is not best buddies with Pierre Poilievre. DID SOMEONE HACK YOUR ACCOUNT? Or perhaps you were referring to the orange felon, and replied in the wrong post.
Since when?
Since how
2nd that. I will let her speak for herself on this. If she is honest, she will pony up the goods. If that is just opinion, she own up. I can wait. I 'm very patient. I waited 3 years to attack Pakman until today that little smug arrogant centrist. He's greedy & no integrity now.
Why do you think that? Fair question.
2nd that
Charlie is one of the scrappiest, most principled punks in our Parliament. Frankly, I'm thrilled to see what's next for him.

Got it…sharing!

THANK YOU Meidas Canada !!!!!
FUCK ANGUS!! @meidastouch.com Should be more careful who they're tying themselves to. www.friendsofwe.org/politicians-... www.fairpress.ca/articles/goo...
Ben Meiselas runs Meidas Touch. Do we need Meidas Touch in Canada? Meidas online is sponsored by #Shopify who are huge #Poilievre donors. Can't Charlie run a site without an American daddy overseeing the operation? Meidas Touch should compensate freelancers whose work they use and profit off of?
📌
Hell yeah brother! Congrats to you and Ron and Ben and Anthony and everyone else
I appreciate Angus but isn't he funded by Meidas Touch? If so, his declaration rings hollow for me. He's right, Canadian media both sides everything or is outright maga-like. But plugging media that pays you to plug them is just an ad. I'm happy to be wrong if so.
#CSIS Umm. Clear this up 1st. b4 you Land in CANADA. Be honest, we will trust. If you can't, it will go badly. #influencer s integrity is subversively bought & content controlled by possibly a foreign funded #DarkMoney. #Chorus #1630fund #Wired #Democrats #TaylorLorenz www.wired.com/story/dark-m...

youtu.be/4Nda3CTs7u0?... Greatest national security threat in the history of our nation. And owes EVERY AMERICAN now. He wrote a check with his mouth conspiracy with his rich middle eastern buddies. Like m/t here. I BRING RECEIPTS! SEE BELOW
Ty for sharing. This is important to EVERY American. It's time we evolve and create some (EQUALITY). THE OLIGARCHS (CAPITALIST) wish to manipulate you into OCHLOCRACY. WE CAN'T LET THEM. It's not the polybius cycle of GLOBAL POWER. It's time for a TRUE DEMOCRACY. Not the ideology of democracy
youtu.be/e6HPdNBicM8?... you don't get to kill and lock up half of us first. You don't get to choose what race to pay. NOW YOU OWE EVERY FUCKIN AMERICAN FOR YOUR BREACH OF TRUST! TIME TO CASH THAT CHECK YOUR MOUTH WROTE. HOW DARE YOU BETRAY MY COUNTY'S POOR PEOPLE! JE SUIS DE LA FAYETTE! 11 11
That was 8 years ago before DOGE,nowadays it is a let them die without real healthcare,administration and lock up the government caused homeless in a for profit bit.8 years ago he didn't insist on monetarily backing 47 and probably wasn't taking ketamine.There will be alpha schools for rich children
Yea fuk that. Maybe a small nation or an uneducated nation is easily swayed by intimidation or false hope. THIS IS AMERICA AND WE THE PEOPLE ARE PISSED 🤣
There will be a REVOLUTION. End of voters suppression and gerrymandering. And a universal income to everyone making 5k and under a month to bring them up to a livable wage. As oligarchs either leave America or start downsizing. That isn't socialist or communism. It's REPARATIONS TO ALL! FUK THAT
Hopefully! but only if more folks wake up and realize what's going on in plain site.⏰Seems there are still those who are in the well I've got mine mode🤑,others are afraid to admit what is happening 🙈and don't want to hear🙉 about it or in depression💔. At least Alligator Alcatraz is shutting down.👏😄👍
That is what we are for hugh? Be loud. Be proud of your culture and speak for your ancestors. We got this
And they don't pay fines of $750B for lying.
The podcasters promoting Christian nationalism were preceded by AM radio broadcasters
We need more than one option though. I see a lot of stuff that is 'podcasts'. Not print, not shows that get on TV. FOX HAS ALL THAT SHIT. Liberals don't even really have anything on AM Radio. People need to start taking this seriously for the vocalization aspect as well as being mad.
It's the comedians that are keeping me sane. But we DO have liberal media, just not in the traditional airwaves. Y'all gotta look for them. But my fav: www.stephaniemiller.com

Fuck yeah! #angus should check out @muellershewrote.com and MSW too
"Play the clip" 🤭
damn straight
It’s NOT about messaging or language. It IS about failed policy proscriptions emanating from the political left. Americans reject progressives obsessing over Trump 24/7 365 and not offering viable alternatives grounded in reality. America is a center-right country. You simply don’t get it.
You have to wonder if the "genocide Joe" accounts were a Russian troll farm.
Dementia Joe is more like it. Ghost-Handshaker-In-Chief. Back in 2020, that was the best candidate The Democratic Party could come up with.
He did beat Trump like a dirty rug.
Then there was Kamala right behind Joe to do her part. Geniuses. Both of them. I still can’t figure out how Trump managed to beat her last November. I bet the fix was in.
Are you knowingly spreading those lies, or are you one of the rubes who actually believe them?
Who are you going to believe, Hat Madder, me or your own lyin’ eyes? www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4b1...
Note the clearly manipulative language: "looks" and "appears to." The authors are telling their readers what they want them to believe before the video plays. Then they show the carefully edited video. What a surprise! Some people are easily manipulated.
107 days before the ’24 Election, Party Elites forced Biden off the ticket Joe's cognitive skills have been impaired for over a decade now. Question is: Why do you refuse to acknowledge the obvious? Why don't facts matter to you? This from FIVE years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA-G...
The reporting is that Biden stepped down voluntarily when he was persuaded that he was not likely to win. There's no reporting supporting your "he was forced" narrative. No reports, either, from any of the 100s he would meet with that he was anything but very, very sharp.
You are an intellectually dishonest type. i) Biden was forced off the ticket by Pelosi and others. Hunter Biden admitted to, as much. ii) The snippets contained in the video I attached to my previous post demonstrate, without a doubt, Joe Biden was mentally impaired.
"Snippets" are not a reliable way to make a mental health diagnosis. It's easy to take a few seconds here, a few seconds there, and prove anything you want. Same technique as with the other video: first they tell you what to believe; then they show you carefully doctored videos.
In an interview with Jaime Harrison, Hunter Biden said that his father made the decision: “I know that it wasn’t a mistake in that moment,” Hunter Biden said, adding that his father “chose to save the party” over saving himself. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol....
"Why can't you see the obvious?" is what conspiracy wackos say when they don't have any evidence.
dudette: i) Barry Obama is the one exhibiting the traits of malignant narcissism. ii) Orange Cheesus 47 is the one exhibiting the traits of malignant egomania. Those two differences are distinct. Side Note: I cast my vote for neither of them.
Right. Please show me one respected psychologist supporting your claim.
You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Each one of those 9 boxes under ’Narcissistic Personality Disorder’ would be checked for Barry Obama. Fits him like a glove. Trump is more blatantly grandiose. The descriptions overlap, I would agree.
And a weatherman wouldn't just stick a wet finger in the air to give a comprehensive report 😂
You didn't mention what might be the biggest factor here, and few seem to want to acknowledge it.... The American population has an asshole-to-NON asshole ratio problem.
I guesstimate that Progs make up 15%-20% of 100% Democratic Party Voters. Progs are a minority within a minority. Even if the country is, for argument’s sake, a 50%/50% split between Dems and GOP voters, Progs would constitute, at most 7.5%-10% of the entire (100%) voting citizenry.
Meidas Touch and The Bulwark for me along with international media.
💯
Exactly!
AND Free Speech TV
We need media that isn't under the jackboot of vested interest. If its not independent its not journalism
Me too in Illinois
Wow
Incredibly insightful 'wow' you got there. Feel free to use even 4 letters to explain yourself anytime you are up to it and want to put in some effort.
👏👏👏
Crooked Media out here like:
Lol. Or Bullshitwark
👍🏼👍🏼🇨🇦
Bravo to you guys! 👏👏
This is great news - you have an opportunity to now amplify people/elected reps/community orgs who are doing the hard work of fighting back. We know how bad things are - show us a path forward!
I tell everyone I meet to listen.
So well deserved. You guys are amazing. Keep up the “good trouble” work.
Charlie's a hell of a guy; you're lucky to have him in your corner!
Congratulations!!! Your exhaustive efforts are making a much needed impact. 👏
🥰
Elbows Up 🍁
Oh they are. Looking at the... Americans wanting to waltz in here and take the spotlight. While their left media was just exposed as dark money narrative controlled. Their closeness to Biden alone makes them questionable. Charlie is good & clear eyed for sure on the USA and ask good questions.
Look at YOU 🤩
And yet you continue to ignore the facts that trump cheated and is illegitimate.
New follow.🙌🏽 #LongLiveDemocracy #ViveLeRevolution #Resistance
Exactly. I don't follow Midas Touch.
Well earned recognition!
I second that. It’s the only thing I listen too now. I can’t even go back to CNN or MSNBC.
Y'all have earned this. I remember when you were posting those glorious videos anonymously back in the first attempt at Facism, and look at you now. 👏👏👏👏
I was so disappointed at how the mainstream Media was so out of touch with what a majority of "WE The People" want to hear; The Truth! We love you Medias Touch!
Ya umm. Not so cool to Stan, pls. That's not a credential we need to base them becoming part of our media landscape. The right has let in Tommy Robinson and the likes of Fucker Carlson & prodigal Dipshit Cryboy Peterson mess with politics. We should find it worse if subversive & lacking openness.
Good job Meidas
@meidastouch.com Placing the facts in truth!!
Yeah because the spin is nauseous 🤮 everywhere else. I can't anymore.
Way to go @meidastouch.com @meidasjordy.bsky.social @meiselasb.bsky.social @bmeiselas.bsky.social @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social
Journalists today think they are entertainers and their moto is What sells is true!"... They need to report what's actual true, not spin offs they have pulled out of their behinds cos they think it will sell more clicks... Nobody want's to pay to get lied too....
This is happening in the UK with right wing Reform being given a huge platform on all our mainstream news channels. The mainstream media are playing a huge role in allowing the rise of racist right wing politics. Money and power dictates everything its frightening.
Yes!
My 78 year old mom is the one who told me about Meidas Touch. She has been watching every morning on YouTube for a while now.
Yay go Meidas touch, killing it
Impressive MeidasTouch 👏
I watch them, but they do tend to like their opinions a lot… Brian Taylor Cohen is a lot more concise and reports on much of the same stuff
WooHoooo!!! @meidastouch.com
bsky.app/profile/judy...
Love MeidasTouch 💘
I love @meidastouch.com But you Canadians have @daviddoel.bsky.social who runs The Rational National podcast. It's a great podcast!
Also MSNBC does a fine job giving all the real facts too in a very understandable way etc
Excellent idea. We should we can not trust these news outlets owned and control by maga CEOs
I love @meidastouch.com 🫶🏾🫶🏾
If you want a news media that rational people actually trust, stop peddling opinions that you KNOW your potential audience will gladly support. Report the facts and leave the opinions to the audience you give them to. Nothing more, nothing less. Or does the audience need to be "guided"?
The Mainstream media needs to be destroyed. They are just mouth pieces for billionaires. Every reporter that shills for them is complicit.
They are the same site for the Far Right podcasts, we need more of them!
@acyn.bsky.social @meidastouch.com Here's a little eye opener for you. Charlie Angus is an asshole opportunist. Fvk that guy!! I hope We Charity and those involved with it sues him into the ground. www.friendsofwe.org/politicians-... www.fairpress.ca/articles/goo...
I think he means well (not like some assholes I won't mention), but he's reactionary & prone to conspiracy. I enjoy his passion, cuz I think it's lacking in canadian politics, I just wish he would not fly off the cuff so much and use a little more brain.
Pls post who this is & more info.
Corporate media allows lies, especially lies by christians.
Well, FOX News and Newsmax are most likely a dead issue in Canada. They're worse than the weekly rags you buy at the Newsstands.
Luv MeidasTouch, have learned a lot about the law and politics. Great interviews, great people, great shows.
Because corporate media can't be trusted anymore, independent news is far better.
OMG I love this
I used to really like Meidas Touch about 3 years ago. However, slowly over time, I wanted better representation of the perspectives of people from diverse populations. So I found them & have learned so much. Also, I’m SICK of the hyperbolic headlines, and the content rarely matches the headlines.
He's right. + Something everyone has seemed to miss (maybe because the MSM didn't converge on this) is that Biden's overriding appeal in 2020 was his plain speak. It wasn't just anti Trump sentiment because all of the D candidates would have met that bar, it's that Scranton Joe used plain talk.
Midas touch, Sam Seider, tyt sports, John Oliver/stewart, occupydemocrats, legalAF are all great sources of info
He's right. We are too polite and need to start fighting with the truth in words everyone understands in both our countries. 🫡👏
If you like Meidas Touch you'll love Breaking Points.
👏👏👏👏
It would be great if we could have news stations that actually report the news. They go out to talk too people. I feel like I just see the same thing everyday on the news.
Meidas Touch and Sirius Progress.
Charlie Angus is full of crap. He couldn't care less. In his own riding, indigenous women and kids on reservations are sexually assaulted at 10X higher than the national average by indigenous men. EVERY POLITICIAN KNOWS ABOUT IT. No wonder we have so many #MMIWG! www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...
I like Meidas Touch. BUT- every headline is a troll or hyperbole not supported by the otherwise worth content. To replace the MSM, please dispense with the National Enquirer titles to your YouTube videos. Just report the substance you are so good at!!
He’s absolutely correct!
All I heard was "we didn't take it seriously." WE did. #FAFO #Revolt 🇺🇸
Tell them to start giving credit to their sources.
Grateful for Charlie Angus every day.
I used to push Popular Information and I still recommend it to the educated intelligent folks but I figured out that the majority of MAGA can’t read at that level. MeidasTouch pulls at the edges of the MAGA cult.
In the UK, BBC is blasting Nigel Farage & his Reform party. BBC = free media - just like corporate media did (and still does) for 🍅. Also, Farage is 🍅's buddy and has been to the US many times campaigning for 🍅's candidates. He was in Alabama with Stephen Miller & Steve Bannon - for Roy Moore!
"Grab 'em by the pussy"- Being Trump. Imagine the humiliation of having to let your old lady get borked by this disease ridden sorry excuse for a human.
I'm a Canadian, and Meidas Touch is the media I listen to every day! I love you guys and your "no holds barred" approach. I'm so excited to have Charlie starting up next week. We need independent media here, too.
I'm vacationing in Quebec and every local I've met more informed about Trump than 1/2 the US.
Facts are good to know!
Yes, but also: Shout out to The Bulwark gang, too. Solid stuff, great coverage/analysis, insightful. @thebulwark.com
This Canadian has given up on our CBC. It has swung to the left so badly that one has difficulty even understanding what the stories are. What the hell has happened to good reporting and factual information? I check in on MeidasTouch every day.
American here who tunes into CBC a few times a week just to remain reality-based. Do you have any examples of the CBC pushing left-wing ideology? Mostly I am seeing excellent coverage on climate change (not getting it here in the U.S.), lots of stories with in-depth background. I ❤️ the CBC.
I am really glad you are getting info from the CBC. Maybe it is just me but they seem to refuse to hold some groups accountable for actions while blaming others for everything. Case in point is the drug culture and homelessness in the big cities. I could go on but my letters have run out😄
100% Correct, great speech!💕
Lawyers work in facts as tools to defeat lies
I listen to them everyday now instead of the dt media.
Meidas Mighty here in South Saskatchewan! I concur!
I'd like to see a new cable channel - IMC - Independent Media Channel, with Meidas, Bryan Taylor Cohen, Lev and Aaron Parnas et al having shows.
Liberal media is an outright lie 90% of all Canadian media is right wing supporters and most are American owned. The continued fallacy of left wing media is a real problem for many who think it’s true.
I just wish their thumbnails were not so misleading and sensationalized. Makes their channel look cheap.
Thank you Charlie Angus and Meidas Canada.
I LOVE MEIDASTOUCH!!!!
One thing that Joe Togan does right is talk about a lot of different subjects that people find interesting
Free Speech TV
I like it except for Stephanie Miller. Worthless show.

America is dealing with terminally stupid people. They can’t be fixed, cured, deprogrammed or healed. Facts are a foreign language to them. They believe in reality tv. Magats believe the Apprentice was real and Turd was a successful businessman bc it was on CBS and a show. Low IQ people .
I love 'The Majority Report' outlet, which always looks at things from a historical perspective and the struggle for working people's rights.
This commercial for MeidasTouch brought to you by Angus.
Why does Meidas Touch never report anything about Gaza? Because it's neo liberal click bait slop.
Absolutely true, Charlie Angus is a Canadian national treasure.
Agreed... somewhat. NY Times, The Guardian, NPR, WaPo (though sinking fast) and several of the indies are covering quite well. The ease of AP has liquidated their voices in many ways plus buy-in investors like billionaire hedge and other funds who now control boards with eyes set solely on profit.
Good journalism is by it's very mature, progressive.
We Already Have it..MSNBC....All You Have To Do Is See Which News Source That President Blowhard Is Complaining About And Deduce That They Are The Ones Telling You The Truth....
We need more news outlets than just MSNBC...
True But The Billionaire Oligarchs Seem To Have Bought The Rest....
Corporate Media has been owned by Republican Wealthies for decades.
But Not These Extremist Republican Wealthies....ABC, CBS, NBC, The Washington Post And The NY Times Operated Independently Until Trump Engaged In His "Extortion" Tactics....
I grant you, not reporting key facts and events that would enlighten the country on Trump's illegal and fascist deeds has revved up since he took office, but I clearly recall CNN attacking Joe Biden from the moment he took office.
So glad coming here. i have pretty well stopped reading corporate news as most if not all journalists are following the mantra from the owners. it gets pretty sick after awhile
We need media that reports facts and quits the both sides stuff when it is not warranted (which these days is most of the time). Oh it would help if they knew their facts during interviews so they could ask appropriate follow up questions when then are clearly being lied to.

Add Aaron Parnes tells the truth on all matters.
@dailybeanspod.com deserves mention.
We need a reliable new agency outside of the United States. I'm thinking something like Radio Free Europe but for Americans under fascist control.
Truth. Tell them Charlie. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🍁🍁⚜️⚜️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Bubble pop too.
👏 👏 👏 👏
Exactly! So many people believe Trump and the GOP’s lies because they speak to their audience, and the audience understands them. If honest journalists trade their pretentiousness for normal language on a free accessible platform, it could change the world.
Charlie is my guru. 🥰
Meidas Touch is awesome! I also like Brian Tyler Cohen, he has great guests like Marc Elias, Glenn Kirschner and Michael Popek.
It's true and Meidas is expanding, they are making a Canada only channel.
But maga likes the made up "facts" that trump and the republicans present, they like the alternate truths (the alternate of a truth is a lie). They are excellent fictional story tellers.
Anyone who believes anything a MAGAts says is a fool! Even the minions are fools, that is without a doubt what this country is in the position we are in... But we need these assholes! It kills me but we need them to bring down these clowns, all of them in office!
I don't understand your example or about what you are talking all what I know he doesn't come without your doing something strong very strong very high . He is available
Wow!!!! Way to go Midas Touch!
The NDP will fail if they stay down the woke-Marxist path and call working Canadians racist.
The MAGATs thought he was just being trump. Ask them where the base is today. They are eating him for breakfast lunch ad dinner and degrading the no new Fox and the other MAGAT lying stations...
They base know now he is a F liar! And they are bring him down to the worse rating of any wannabe president...Whats funny, The MAGATs in Congress think they are going to win...I predict the Senate will lose at least 8 seats and the House 60! Meidas Touch!👍🏻
Trump Is Building His Own Paramilitary Force Aug. 27, 2025 The journalist Radley Balko explains the mechanisms Trump is using to create a personal army. youtu.be/E1Sik2wD62I?...
I’m in Ireland 🇮🇪 and listen to Meidas Touch every few days. They call it as it is and don’t pull the punches with how f….d up USA IS RIGHT NOW. Keep it going.
I still like MSNBC (soon to be MSNOW), which has a number of former republicans, who worked under GOP Presidents and just want to help bring the truth to Americans.
Good for Charlie! MTN Rocks! They tell it like it is.
You all are ignoring black voices at your detriment.
How's about just honest media. Unfortunately all big media is owned by billionaires for billionaires. All of it As the great Jim Morrison put it - He who controls the media , controls the masses. True then. True now
Ask grok what trump, Heritage Foundation, PROJECT 2025 , increasing fossil fuel use, decreasing or eliminating EPA, decreasing or eliminating clean energy will do in damage to the United States,planet, humans, animals, waterways, climate change, destructive weather, costs financially(last) SCARY AF!
We must remain critical of all media and occasionally fill our echo chamber with fresh air.
The right-wing media business model was built on the highly manipulative deeper linguistic strategies of propaganda: relentless stereotyping, scapegoating and dehumanization. These are red flags: if you hear a lot of this, get out asap.
Hey, Sorry to intrude. Please keep praying for Ukraine during this critical time. Your support means the world. Thank you. 💙💛💐#SlavaUkraini
Yes, they are better than @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy, @cnn.com and @nbcnews.com that love Kiss the Liar Racist RAPIST Dictator Trump and spread, support repeat & defend Trump and his Administration & GOP lies & nonsenses and that is a fact on US Media, TV News & Press today for Ratings!
Idk how dems expect to win if elections aren't fair or secure. Sticking your head in the sand isn't going to make this go away. Meidas has consistently ignored these facts. #trumpisillegitimate youtu.be/shB6QhkKEVA
♥ Meidas Touch ♥
I like MeidasTouch reporting but I hate the clickbaity crap. Just give us a descriptive headline. Not everything has to be "smacked down!" or "absolutely destroyed!"
Maybe they’re good, I don’t know. I can’t stand the sound of their voices. My brain will not allow it.
I agree…!
The Rational National is the best political podcast in Canada so far. The leftists need to organize themselves into a network.
Now life has thrown me more than I can handle, and I would never reach out if this weren’t urgent. It weighs heavily on my heart — but I still trust in our compassion and shared humanity. Your kindness could make all the difference. If you can help🙏💙 gofund.me/0af928df
I don't dislike Meidas. However, I stopped watching when they started elevating Michael Cohen. If Trump had not turned on him, Cohen would never have spoken out against him and would probably be working for the DOJ. I can't support anyone who elevates that POS.
To get any inside information on Trump, you're going to have to deal with some questionable people to get that inside information, as he has always surrounded himself with degenerates. It's the same with any criminal organisation; ask any criminal prosecutor. It's an unfortunate, but necessary evil.
I watch Meidas Touch podcasts on you tube every day!
@charlieangus104.bsky.social is 100% right: The left became so worried about what people will think of what they say, that they ended up saying NOTHING. Abandoning the battle field to right wing criminals. And boy did they take advantage of it. We must get back in, & WIN the war over the TRUTH.
Lmao those mother fuckers aren't progressive
Thank you, Charlie! Keep speaking truth to power.
Meidas, with their non stop hysteria and shouty tone has done more to undermine their cause than to help it. The sooner they are outed as grifters trying to monetise polarisation to the detriment of the country at large target than ideological warriors, the better.
straight up facts! wake up America
Facts (entire broadcast info in headlines), interesting interviews, and atrocious commercials. Mixed bag.
I’m ready for it!
Republicans do not want the truth broadcasted to the nation. They hide behind their lies and hypocrisy.
Accurately spoken
Meidas is OKAY, very click baity, I wish they addressed what they said in the thumbnail. David Pakman is more honest, and he does try to give the right an opportunity in his reporting, when the right has those rare moments of logical decisions.
I can’t believe how click baity they have become. Ben has changed, he really needs to stop with the impersonations, they’re just awful. Just the facts please and show the tape. I know how much you want to reach six million, stick with what got you here.,
yeah I agree the impersonations are pretty atrocious.
📌
If you live in one of these districts, PLEASE go vote in the special election ~
No you need to be in the streets fighting to save your country.
MeidasTouch? The so very Dem friendly centrists? That's... not the example of progressive media you're looking for.
If only they didn't love blue-tinged fascism so much. Quite a shame.
Chup. Need the facts not the grift. VOTE.
The great 'dumbing down' of America began w/computer 'icons' & pretty pics. Americans stopped learning to read. They prefer to be entertained. Enter: reality tv & now influencers. Sigh. I read 3-10 global news sources a day. over 150 books so far this year. I vet my own sources, no aggregator.
I've followed MeidasTouch since 2017. They are one of my core resources precisely because of their lack of bias. They have common sense when the world has gone crazy. And they call out hypocrasy & crime in gov't. Be like Canada. Follow MeidasTouch! Read.
progressive media = leftist propaganda
Is this an ad?
Meidas Touch, the way to get to where you want to go. Take everyone lost, with you. Lies and untruths have had their day. Look where it has has led. Be positive, determined to rid this vermin crawling across our world. We're facing the same ideology here. Vile corruption by desperate men. One aim🤬
@charlieangus104.bsky.social We NEED A #MediaMatters to help #Canadians scour through bullshit I’ve been begging them (since since at least 2006)
FYI
💕 @charlieangus104.bsky.social
Go Charlie!
Meh. Meidas isn't progressive, they're just libs. We need *actual* a socialist left media.
Meidas is just an example given, the general point is that the entire spectrum of the left needs to build up a media ecosystem to counter the one MAGA built for a decade. MAGA didn’t just have mainstream party-line Fox, but also other voices spanning a wide spectrum even further right.
I'll explain this point a bit further bc it seems you've thought critically about this & are rightly concerned about our media environment. I agree we can't let right wing media continue to dominate. But the reason they dominate is bc the Dem Party serves the same billionaire donor class as the GOP
and because of that, as you've probably noticed that Dems don't support universal heathcare, they tried to deport more people than the GOP, they give unequivocal support to Isreal, to the police state & all their solutions include "public-private" partnerships in which the donor class profits.
So when people see the Dems moving right on heathcare, immigration, the police state, on Israel's genocide of Palestinians & offer no public, good government solutions, people see they stand for nothing & vote GOP. We need to break the grip of capital on the Dem Party. That means real left media!
I am in full agreement with this. We may be engaging in some friendly fire. I'm just happy to see that the idea of intentionally building a robust left media ecosystem, is being discussed more openly & actively. For a while it kinda felt like no1 was talking about it, so this just makes me hopeful
"President Clinton on September 22, 1993, the proposed bill would provide a "health care security card" to every citizen that would irrevocably entitle them to medical treatment and preventative services, including for pre-existing conditions." ACA tried but didn't go far enough
That's *your* point. My point & the point of the left is that the Dem Party is nakedly corrupt & dependant on the same donor class as the GOP. Any media depending on them for their funding will also be corrupt. The problem is capitalism. We need socialist media to radicalize the working class.
I wasn't implying that anyone should depend on the same donor class. I've been encouraging the intentional growth of media outside of the MSM ownership/funding structure for months. I'm 100% for a socialist & left-leaning media ecosystem whose ownership and creation stays in the hands of the people
@majorityreport.bsky.social is a good watch!
I agree whole-heartedly and they definitely aren't libs! 💜

But we already have The Onion.

Sound advice. They all need to pivot away from WH outlets like CNN, CBS, NYT, and WAPO.
Time to turn the cameras on the mainstream. Who is reporting what. And confront them. Will you tell the truth.
Why don't U.S. working-class people actually listen to progressive media? It seems they'd rather listen to lies on Fox or Newsmax.
Yes!
I can't listen to anybody repeat the same 40 second message for 10 minutes, accurate tho it may be.

Agreed. The legacy media is trash.
We know that Russia pays podcasters around the world to promote their propaganda. It's no coincidence that inflation and immigration topped ALL elections worldwide. Will crime be next? Corruption?
They’re frauds too. Just paid by the DNC dark money web bsky.app/profile/tayl...
Has it occured to you that right now there are people going after individuals for their support of Dem candidates? That donors might want to keep their names out of the public? I’m not condoning it. Just trying to think if all the angles.
You’re making excuses for corrupt and dishonest behavior. Would you do the same if this was Charlie Kirk ?
J6 was an insurrection and they are released and being decorated as heros. Does this mean that our choice is a bloody civil war or an honorable insurrection?
I love this network
All Canadian media are also owned and operated by US billionaires. That's why Maple MAGA even exists.
Absolutely.
Any word at all on the feedback or response to this that Angus got? Either from those at the conference with him or from the general public?
We need Meidas in Europe as well. Starting by UK. But also France, Germany, Romania, and then everywhere. Meidas, aka New Voice of Democracy* * there was a Voice of Democracy radio in Cambodia until 2023 when it was shuttered by the Cambodian government.
I think Australia is next on the list but they are definitely going global 😃
What was missed is that the COnservatives allowed post media to gobble up most of the Canadian press and are simply a mouthpiece for Trump and Trump thinkers like the Mainstream Conservatives
And places like @CNN are still locked into the past, basically trying to be Fox Lite.
We need more people support MeidasTouch and it's affiliates!
Listen to Charlie, he knows! ✊🏻🍁🇨🇦 Maple Mighty
Why can’t citizens form a SuperPac type organization to fund an independent news network? One that can never be purchased by a billionaire. How do we do that? Like an employee owned company structure. I know what I want, but I’m not rich and I don’t have an MBA. Thoughts?
SuperPacs are a cancer! Start an online service, and if it's worth anything, the public will support it. Proof? The Meidas-touch network!
I want to be a viewer that has a stake in it to keep it neutral and fact driven. Everyone is trying to reinvent Meidas right now and too many want paid subscribers. That adds up and like I already said, I’m not rich. I don’t want opinion programming. I want news. I want 1991 CNN. Reporters reporting
If viewers have a stake, then it logically follows that their wish won't be to keep it neutral. Even if we disregard the open desire for sensationalism most have, cognitive bias will bleed into their feedback.
I didn’t say it would be easy, but surely, we have reasonable like minded individuals still left in society.
Sports is used by the right wing to make inroads for GOP / MAGA propaganda (see Pat McAfee, Dave Portnoy). Taylor Swift brings new fans to the NFL. How about a show hosted by peer of Swift's, paired with a left-leaning sports/politics celebrity to talk NFL, politics, music, culture, etc?
This is absolutely necessary, and imo Meidas Touch is going in the right direction = clear, current, thorough, constant, backed by understanding and openness to input from other recommendable sources.
I have heard they align with The DNC . Is that true ?
If you're referring to Meidas Touch, yes, that's how I see their current fair. Serious journalists are showing that honest journalism is still desired, viable + valuable--eg.contra Fox and WSJ. T and MAGA currently dominate much world news. IMO, Meidas will stay balanced, too when t + MAGA are gone.
I understand but I don’t want a DNC bias either. Both the GOP and The DNC are pro Israel. I am not a fan of western media for that reason
MeidasTouch doesn’t “align” with the DNC in any sense other than the DNC happens to prefer democratic candidates. They are “left”. They are honest. It’s all good there (:
So they cover the Middle East fairly and don’t use phrases like « lack of aid in Gaza « , but rather Israel is prohibiting aid from evening ?
Yes. They use the word ‘genocide’
Imagine calling it any other way and telling yourself you're not human rubbish
Thank you ❤️
