Fox News is GOING CRAZY over MEIDAS

Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Mar 12

I’ll keep this short. I have some good news to share this morning to show how your subscriptions to this Substack are causing Fox to lose it.

Fox is livid.

They just found out last night they are once again losing to the MeidasTouch Network in digital video views based on the latest Playboard rankings, which aggregate views and likes. The current rankings are MeidasTouch Network (number 1), Fox News (number 2), Call of Duty (number 3), and HBO Max (number 4).

Here’s the scoop I got from my sources at Fox: Sean Hannity and Jesse Watters are pissed. They have total access to Trump, and they still can’t get better ratings than Meidas. Fox executives are apparently furious about the press we’ve been getting lately. The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Globe and Mail, Daily Beast, and Newsweek write-ups have enraged them.

The secret is now out: despite their $14 billion in annual revenue, Fox is losing to Meidas—which has grown from Substack subscribers. Think about what Fox shareholders and oligarchs are saying to them when they’re coming in second to someone recording from his living room.

I feel that right now is the time for independent media to shine and speak to what Americans are really feeling under the Trump regime. Our news coverage on the MeidasTouch Network looks nothing like what’s on cable news and corporate news—but it looks exactly like what people are actually experiencing.

As Trump does “product placement” for Tesla vehicles in front of the White House while he crashes the markets and Americans suffer, we are going to call him and his regime out with the clarity that is needed right now.

We are not the “Rogan” of the left. We don’t need to sacrifice our values to beat Rogan and Fox like we are doing now. We don’t peddle in conspiracy, drama, or manufactured rage. We report on facts and the truth (Remember to add the MeidasTouch Podcast on audio on Apple Podcasts and Spotify).

What we are and what we do is simple. We are fierce defenders of workers, democracy, healthcare, equality, a functioning government, our international alliances, and our climate. We lift up marginalized groups and don’t punch down. We stand up to bullies.

We are for the people, not for the oligarchs. We are the Meidas Mighty. It’s just that simple.

So sorry—not sorry—Fox, your millionaire hosts, and your billionaire supporters, if you’re having a bad day. The MeidasTouch Network and our subscribers here on this Substack are putting in the work day in and day out. Fighting for our democracy. Fighting for American freedom.

A quick note: if you aren’t yet subscribed to this Substack, now is the perfect time to subscribe and support the growth of the independent media network beating Fox and Rogan.

Let’s expand our lead and expand our reach.
