Wow…Fox is Panicking Over Meidas!!! Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Jan 29 Written by Ben Meiselas I’ll keep this short and sweet. Fox is terrified. The momentum of the MeidasTouch Network is undeniable, thanks to you. The MeidasTouch Network just hit 22 million YouTube views in 48 hours, and Fox is pissed. That’s more than every top Fox cable show combined. I have many sources at Fox and its parent company, News Corp, who tell me how much Rupert Murdoch, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Jesse Watters hate us—and hate the Meidas Mighty. They despise when we hit growth milestones like this and put their billion-dollar operation to shame. We should wear that as a badge of honor, don’t you think? Every time they’ve tried to trash us in the past, they’ve failed. I expect them to try attacking us again, but I hear Rupert is worried their viewers might check out our network if they give us any more attention. When they went after us following my interview with former President Biden, some of their own audience stuck around and is now furious over Trump’s disastrous policies. Listen up, Rupert. Do whatever you want. We don’t care. You are an oligarch funded by oligarchs. We are a people-powered network that has grown because of the Meidas Mighty. We don’t have billions of dollars or fancy investors—nor do we want them. We just want the truth, and we want our country and the world to be a better place. We aren’t afraid of you, or Fox, or your hosts, or Trump, or any MAGA extremist. The Meidas Mighty is having a major impact on political affairs in America and abroad. Trump’s approval rating is in the gutter and sinking fast, thanks to you. The MAGA Republican-led Congress is despised, thanks to you. International pro-democracy forces are uniting against Trump and his oligarchs, thanks to you. Most of Trump’s policies have less than 35 percent approval in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll. And here’s more good news—a special election just took place on Tuesday in Iowa for a State Senate seat that was previously a +21 Trump district. The Democratic candidate flipped the seat blue with a massive +27-point shift away from Republicans. Can you imagine if seats across the country flipped by +27-point margins in future special elections and in the midterms? The impact would be historic. This isn’t how Fox envisioned things playing out. This isn’t how Trump envisioned things playing out. They thought that after the election, they had destroyed all media. They believed ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS, The New York Times, and The Washington Post had kissed the ring, leaving Trump as an authoritarian with Fox as his propaganda machine—like state TV in Russia or North Korea. Well, Meidas Mighty, you delivered a rude awakening to Fox and Trump. The MeidasTouch Network is growing faster than any other news company in the world. We are inspiring top journalists to enter independent media. We have the greatest community in the world—the Meidas Mighty. We aren’t just resisting. We’re going on the offense, and we haven’t lost our joy even in these dark times. Hold your head high today, Meidas Mighty. You are doing great. I know Trump and MAGA will try to exhaust us and demoralize us with their tactics today. Don’t let them. We got this. I am so damn proud of you. There’s a reason Fox detests us. Now let’s build on these 22 million views, 3.7 million subscribers, and nearly 6 billion total views—and let’s continue making history together. And don’t worry—we are staying independent! I get so many emails from people telling us we must never be controlled by oligarchs or billionaires or take on investors. You have nothing to worry about, Meidas Mighty. We are staying independent. 100 percent independent. 100 percent people-powered. Our secret weapon is you—this community. It’s the Meidas Mighty. This is more than a media network. This is an international grassroots movement. There is no Meidas without the Mighty. Since we have zero investors, please consider becoming a paid subscriber to this Substack today.
