IMPORTANT Saturday Message from MEIDAS MeidasTouch Network and Ben Meiselas Aug 23 By Ben Meiselas First, I want to start this post by thanking our subscribers. The MeidasTouch Network once again beat Fox News, all cable, and all corporate news this week in views and engagement. That was made possible by you. Please subscribe now to support the independent reporting at MeidasTouch. This week we covered the protests in the United States every single day. This was suppressed by corporate news. We brought you hours of video from citizen journalists capturing Trump’s personal military force, ICE, attacking migrants and citizens. We posted the full Ghislaine Maxwell audio interviews with Trump’s DOJ and called it what it was: an absolute cover-up. As a former litigator, I went through the full transcript line by line and showed the anatomy of the cover-up. We were the first national network to interview Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier, who was held hostage in the Texas State Capitol, and we helped break that story open nationally. Today we are going to Omaha and doing a live event in fron of 3,000 people as part of our Won’t Back Down Tour with MoveOn. We will be streaming the event live. You inspire us to go on tour. We are particularly going to red and purple states. We will also be going on tour in Canada and elsewhere in the world with the new international Meidas networks we are launching. This is made possible thanks to our subscribers here. This is what a people-powered network looks like. We will continue to fearlessly report on and expose the Trump regime. We recognize the MeidasTouch Network is more than just a “news network,” and so we will continue to build this international pro-democracy community to fight back each day and for generations to come. As Trump accelerates his authoritarian behavior and gets more desperate as his approval plummets, the MeidasTouch Network needs to continue to build and grow. We need your help now more than ever. I’ll just be blunt about that. It’s not going to be easy to keep on beating Fox and corporate news, who have unlimited funding.
