Ben Meiselas is putting the puzzle pcs together.

Mediastouch is reporting the truth, Working on 7MM subscribers. And what a stable of reporters under their umbrella: Katie Phang, Michael Popak, many others. Other outlets: IHIP. Jack Cochiarella (sp), Keith Edwards.....lots of great content.

What a pleasure to watch people telling the truth. Haven't watched corporate media ....except MSNBC.....for 20+ years. Now. I'm listening to great alternative news media that is truth based. A positive sign going forward.

And MSNOW is doing the work, as well. They have continued to strengthen their bench of journalists and experts.

Truth and information!

Do you have to have cable? I’ve searched for streaming services and best I can tell they won’t be available except through cable until fall.

The M$M is the propaganda of those that are destroying democracy in favor of oligarchy -- these independent sources are the anecdote....

The information is important and incremental, but not person melting....yet.

It is becoming really annoying, that and their commercials in the middle. I try to listen while I am busy doing other things, with my ear buds but constantly have to go back and FF through the annoying commercials. I am concerned they are becoming a bit too greedy with pushing out repeated content.

I’ve been a long time fan, but just today I unfollowed them because the article was so obviously written by AI. I’m just so tired of that fake overwrought style of writing that is so obvious.

Just humans telling the truth. Lot's of AI on Youtube. MTN isn't one of them.

I "unsubscribed" from Jack Cocinella (sp?) because the misleading headlines often had nothing to do with the content. I let him know why I was dropping out. We are being misled enough.

Sober. Serious. No screaming headlines. No ads. Just a daily news summary email packed with information progressives would want to know, given with historical context and links to where the information is from. And it's free. Perfection.

For anyone who doesn't get her emails, you can sign up here:
