Fox Declared War on Us… Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Oct 15 By Ben Meiselas This doesn’t come as a surprise. Fox has always hated the MeidasTouch Network. Rupert Murdoch despises me and my brothers. He thought he was going to hand off the biggest news network to his son Lachlan. The Murdochs poured billions of dollars into it. Private equity poured billions of dollars into Fox. Yet, here we are—with the MeidasTouch Network, built on this Substack and our subscribers, beating Rupert Murdoch. As you know, other than the MeidasTouch Network, my favorite news entity is The Guardian, which is based in the United Kingdom. After expanding out from Australia, Rupert started building his media empire in the United Kingdom. The Murdochs are very much aware of the major stories coming out of their competition like The Guardian. Apparently, from all of my Fox sources, the profile that The Guardian did on me and the MeidasTouch Network sent Rupert and Lachlan into a spiral. They’ve told several executives privately, words to the effect of, “We are going to war with Meidas and taking down the Meiselas brothers.” I hear they have an entire digital team at Fox monitoring the work we do each day. In the past, Fox has essentially reported our hosts to the DOJ for accurately reporting on ICE. As you know from my prior reporting, Fox has also gone after several of our hosts on air. Although the Murdochs may want to make this fight about Murdoch versus Meiselas, I don’t see it that way. I see it as Murdoch versus the Meidas Mighty. I don’t have an ego in this. The MeidasTouch Network has shocked the world and is pummeling Fox in views and engagement because of this Meidas Mighty community. Whereas Fox deceives and exploits its audience, in my opinion, MeidasTouch uplifts and channels the strength of our community to get out critical messages and the truth during these uncertain times. That is why we will continue to beat Fox and the Murdochs. Rupert and Lachlan will just have to learn that their time controlling the narrative with lies is over. As The Guardian article pointed out, it’s now time for the MeidasTouch Network to lead the way. Let’s keep building this wonderful network and community together.
