Fox Wants MeidasTouch Shut Down…NOT HAPPENING!

Written by Ben Meiselas

I’ll keep this short.

Fox “News” is pissed that MeidasTouch keeps beating them in digital ratings.

My sources inside Fox tell me that the MeidasTouch Network beating Fox in digital views is a sore spot for Fox and is a frequent topic of their meetings.

This morning, I learned that last week a top Fox News executive remarked at a decent-sized meeting: “Can’t we just shut these guys down?” or “Isn’t Trump just gonna shut them down?” referring to the MeidasTouch Network.

Apparently, an awkward silence filled the room afterward.

Over the past few weeks, Fox has been running clips of my interview with President Biden, taking them out of context to further attack President Biden and me.

Fox has used its billionaire oligarchy money to relentlessly attack President Biden, our democracy, and to spread lies and propaganda.

Now Fox wants to come after us. An attack on us is an attack on this community. We are the Meidas Mighty!

I can see why it’s embarrassing for them to be losing to us in digital ratings.

In the last YouTube chart rankings, MeidasTouch is the most viewed channel in America, and Fox is two spots down as the third most-watched YouTube channel. Gosh, they hate that.

Fox makes $14.92 billion in annual revenue, which is about $14.92 billion more than us. But who’s counting? Yet, they are still losing to us in ratings with videos that are recorded in my living room.

Fox is funded by billionaire investors. We have zero investors, and we grow in large part because of paid subscribers to this Substack.

Here are the YouTube charts from Playboard showing Fox losing to us:

I love waking up Monday morning and hearing from my sources at Fox how pissed they are at us. Perhaps it’s me being petty. I don’t know. But what I do know is that our growth is thanks to you, the Meidas Mighty.

This is far more than a network.

This is a pro-democracy community.

If you are unable to become a paid subscriber to this Substack, please forward the MeidasTouch YouTube channel to as many people as you can. Please spread the word about us to as many people as you can. That helps us so much.

If, by chance, you can become a paid subscriber to this Substack, I much prefer to grow this network through paid subscriptions than by having outside investors.

It’s why I prefer to do it this way and to keep this a people-powered network that keeps beating Fox.

So, if you can become a paid subscriber, please subscribe to this Substack now.

We have so much great content on here throughout the day, including Ron Filipkowski’s daily bulletins, which I think are the best in all of media.

Thanks for subscribing if you can.

Thanks, Meidas Mighty!
