I really appreciate the "how we fight" section of this one. Thank you.
Respectfully, if you're still publishing there is still a free press in the USA. Unfortunately you don't have the same reach as the big networks.
Free press is not about publishing - it is about access, ability to ask questions and yes, distribution. There are several components. Freedom of speech is the ability to say what you want.
My reach is 6M in 122 counties. Bigger than several networks. I do not push clickbait, I do not monetize fear. I’m not in your face 24/7.

For-profit corporate news always had this vulnerability, beholden to parent companies, ad revenue, and investors. This isn’t new, just worsening. Best to flock to, support and make mainstream, nonprofit news orgs who show committment, fact-checking, and reach. Democracy Now, for example.
Onest is also a nonprofit media outlet and I’ve been working 24/7/365 on providing actual news with nowhere near the resources of org you mentioned.
THANK'S TO A RAPIST FREE ON BAIL US PRESIDENT AGAINST FREE PRESS ABOVE ALL THE TRUTH !FRIEND WITH EPSTEIN HE WANTS THE PRESS TO SAY HE WAS NOT? HE BELIEVES HE CAN DO ANYTHING HE WANTS NO HE CAN'T !THE LAW SAYS SO TRUMP RESPECT DICTATORS MORE THAN US VETERANS IN POLITIC TO STAY FREE MAGA=EVIL🤮
If there’s no truth Trump is not a lier!
Good call. I'm watching traditional media enabling & collaborating. The Smithsonian is a tragic loss this week. This is war on America across several fronts. Damned serious too! If I may share something I find useful.... snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...
#lookfortheplanners I don’t follow Onest closely. But I absolutely am impressed with her understated ferocity. Less is more, exemplified in her ability to put the relevant news in front of everything else.
Do you mind if we can count some of the reasons? A certain party that CONSTANTLY ignores our calls, and our emails The gutting of healthcare, people losing their jobs, the tarrifs The Paramount-Skydance merger and Stephen Colbert fired The end of PBS and NPR I have a saying--How much is too much? 😢
Thank you. I think people are expecting some sort of breaking news emergency broadcast, ala the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Not to make light of it, but this is Pogo: we have met the enemy and it is us.
That’s live at one my time , Im Atlantic time.If you can post two hours out , then an hour ,then just before with the link and I bet more people check it out.We have goldfish memories haha need reminding.
Ah, I see you had a six pack first, right? /s
?
It was a joke, like the whole I don’t say this lightly setup. I just imagined you downing a six pack before posting. That’s what I do, when I do. I never take a decision lightly. I always have a six pack first. ...Because the best political clarity always comes between beer #5 and hitting post
I don’t drink, so I imagined you talking about my abs for some reason.
Not about your abs, Olga. Just the performative weight of the whole I don’t say this lightly line. The six-pack was metaphorical. Drama’s still drama, with or without alcohol.
