There is always getting an antenna....some stations still do that.......the only expense is the digital stuff needed......but once cable is gone.........you never miss it.
Haven't had cable in over a decade. Bought an OTA antenna (<$100 for a great one) & can get around 50 channels without missing anything I want to watch, which isn't much!
LOVE Meidas Touch & think they (et al.), Brian Cohen, Marc Elias, maybe Steve Schmidt & a couple of others keep me more than informed with fairly ACCURATE information vs the cesspool that the "click influences" have created (like Musk, Rogan & others!), ESPECIALLY about politics. Meidas was invaluable for this past election, such as it was. Congratulations to the crew for over-taking MSM in daily viewers. I think the hand-writing is on the wall for the corporate media opportunists & streaming will soon take over completely, especially as us boomers ride off into the sunset, & especially with Humpty Trumpty coming back to haunt us. He might can control his Fox State Media, but not the Internet! Onward & upward...
One of my first thoughts on Nov 6th, is what can I do with my time that would be beneficial to me and my mental health. The idea that I wanted a baton for my birthday popped into my head. My skill level never advanced beyond basic. I could do the twirls and some easy releases, but I was never really able to master the tough stuff like a release with a double turn and even single turns often resulted in a drop. But when I got my new baton, 40 years later, I could still do most of the basic stuff. I haven’t tried any significant releases and certainly no turns, but it really felt good to twirl again and I’m hoping it might help tighten up my triceps.
It has been wonderful. I turned off mainstream with the relentless bashing of Pres. Biden after the debate while they continued to sane washing Trump. Deleted X from my phone on Nov 6th. So disgusted with low information voters.
Best accident I ever made LOL I was going through my YouTube on my TV and it popped up before the election happened. At that point it was comic relief mixed with information and facts what was actually going on. Fast forward to now other than occasionally MSNBC is the only place to actually get non-whitewashed actual facts
SAME. I've also unfollowed a whole lot of journalists happy to push this crap on Bluesky. I haven't watched any corporate media since election night and quite frankly, I don't miss it.
On Election night, someone, I think Jay Kuo, said to go check the numbers on MeidasTouch Network because they were trustworthy. I checked and have watched steadily since then. Best move I’ve ever made.
I’m so pissed at corporate media for sane-washing the felon, and their treatment of Biden/Harris. They are NOT journalists. They are just covering their asses. It’s disgraceful and disgusting. Totally turning off and avoiding even online crap.
Couldn't agree more. They're so scared s**less of losing their multi-million dollar salaries when the Dump clamps down on the media, particularly the members of it who have done something to offend him (not a hard thing to do, he's so paranoid) in the past. He nurses a grudge like Hot Lips nursed those boys in M*A*S*H.
This is exactly where I am. The legacy media is not there to inform us. They are only there for clicks and revenue. We need to support independent media and let them die off.
I don't watch corporate-controlled media at all. I get my news from Meidas, The Status Kuo, Joyce Vance, Heather Cox Richardson, Robert Reich, and Jeff Tiedrich, among others. I appreciate all of you for not backing down and allowing the billionaires to direct the narrative.
Thank you for this article. I couldn't believe MSNBC commentators bashing Biden for pardoning his son after nominating Kash Patel and all the other criminals he's nominating specifically to carry out his revenge tour of the Biden family and everyone else who has spoken truth to and about the convicted felon about to take office. The case against Hunter Biden was so minimal, compared to the list of criminals that Trump pardoned in his first term. The Supreme Court has already given him permission to commit any crime he wishes to commit. He doesn't need Joe Biden to give him permission.
We are in for a VERY rough ride, and can only hope it ends in 4 years! I didn’t even have to watch the news, I knew it was going to be 24/7 Joe and Hunter!
You might enjoy the article in the Atlantic on the woman that Hunter Biden dated when he was at the height of his addiction in the year before he got married. What a sad, sad story. And sad for her as well.
So thankful for this option. I will never forgive corporate media for undermining everything that Kamala and her team tried to accomplish and normalizing all things "Trump". It is because of their silence way back in 2015/2016 that we are where we are today. Everything Everywhere all at Once...it's ALWAYS about the money!!!
Ben, yes I am very happy i don’t have to watch the corp media any longer. I really am. But today I did take a minute - a minute and briefly take a peek to see what the morons at CNN were discussing and there he was. Jake Tapper sounding like a MAGA loyalist essentially screaming about how Biden just sunk to a new low! I was surprised but not shocked. Boy, it’s crazy how the obedient just keep sucking up. There was no context like you say, no explanation of how and where this decision came from. Only that Biden went back on his word and has now made the DOJ normal for doing such pardons. And single handedly just gave Trump the ammunition to do it too. I wanted to vomit but I held back and signed off again. This time for good. I don’t give a flying fuck about them when Trump arrests them or Elon buys them. They’re on their own and good for them. They worked hard for this. They deserve it. My excitement is to see how your network can help take us to the other side of this Trump shit show. We will get through it, painful that it may be but we will endure thanks to folks like you and your brothers. But please, please, please don’t make me watch that filth again!
Even IF any of what the MSM is saying about Biden pardoning Hunter were true, and we know it's not, what the MSM is saying Trump will do the same and therefore it's on Biden. In other words, they are literally blaming Biden in advance for whatever nefarious and/or corrupt thing Trump does. Wow.
I don't get why there is all this chatter about Biden changing his mind. 45 pardoned a bushel basket of crooks in his crowd. And he was not a blood relative of any of them. He has said he will pardon the 01/06 gang on his day one. And there is no doubt that he will. He is probably going to attempt to pardon himself, bizarre as that is. And the msm as well as the loonies are jumping up and down like stupid clowns.
The media need to cease providing an audience for 45. I think Americans cannot and will not want to hear about every breath he takes. WHO CARES!
Please stop. It has become dangerous to oppose him, and the ugliness is being amped up, once again, by the people who make money tempting Americans to get themselves into a state of agitation and aggression.
Stop. You are feeding the cancer on the presidency. You gave 45 press for 8 years, as he kept himself in every American’s view every minute of every day.
They’ve actually been giving him free advertising since he came down his golden escalator over 10 years ago! He always screamed “fake news”, but that “fake news” handed him now two presidencies!!!
I agree, although John Stewart did show o’Donnell saying in 2021 that Trump had left Washington for the last time never to return again. He said Trump would be a pariah. Oh well. Obviously Mitch McConnell thought the same thing when he did not convict Trump in the Senate; he said let the courts handle it and look how well that turned out. McConnell could’ve stopped him and did not.
I literally unsubscribed from CNN today over their coverage of Biden pardoning hunter followed immediately by Trump posting “trusted” family members (also pardoned by Trump) in ambassadorships
Ben, I watch about 1% of what I watched pre-election! And I'm happier. Since the announcement about President Biden's pardon of Hunter, the best coverage, explanation, and context I've seen and read is Ron Filipkowski's post on Meidas+ (also delivered to my email). No network news I happened to see gave anywhere near as good of details, logic or reasoning. Why I'm with Meidas, Meidas+ and on Substack for the long haul!
Thank you all. Thanks to Ron for his excellent analysis!
After what the corporate media did to Kamala Harris and sane washing Trump I have no intention of watching mainstream media again
Cancelled my cable totally.......more time to care for my records and play the piano again..........MTN...Stephanie Miller and IHIPNEWS.......
Cancelling my cable was the best decision. An added bonus is no more commercials
Canceled cable, New York Times, WaPo, months ago in disgust. They are all spinelessly obeying in advance.
I did the same!👌
Good for you. I have gone off of C-TV also except for PBS.
even NPR & Democracy Now have become biased. We can expect PBS to get its funding cut. No corporate media ever again!
There is always getting an antenna....some stations still do that.......the only expense is the digital stuff needed......but once cable is gone.........you never miss it.
Haven't had cable in over a decade. Bought an OTA antenna (<$100 for a great one) & can get around 50 channels without missing anything I want to watch, which isn't much!

I started back baton twirling. Also canceled cable news and NYTs
👏👏👏 from a former junior high and high school twirler!! 😊

That is sooooo major cool!!! You will amazingly good very quickly!!!
I did the same!👌
It has been wonderful. I turned off mainstream with the relentless bashing of Pres. Biden after the debate while they continued to sane washing Trump. Deleted X from my phone on Nov 6th. So disgusted with low information voters.
I’m trying to figure out how to delete X. Only go to Substack now.
Just go down the list of apps in your settings on the phone. When you get to X just tap on it, and hit uninstall. GONE. It feels so 😊
After MTN and Stephanie........my 3rd go to is Jennifer and Angie on IHIPNEWS.....10-15 minutes....give it a go...........freebase the truth!!
Very Happy and extremely glad I found MTN when I did i am getting everyone i know to watch MTN and get rid of old hahabits of watching corporate media
Best accident I ever made LOL I was going through my YouTube on my TV and it popped up before the election happened.

MTN is definitely an upgrade from cable news and social media. It's value added, IMO.
So happy and less stressed! My sources are here, with really focused researched people! I love coming here to factual news with solid sources!
I’m so pissed at corporate media for sane-washing the felon, and their treatment of Biden/Harris. They are NOT journalists. They are just covering their asses. It’s disgraceful and disgusting. Totally turning off and avoiding even online crap.

This is exactly where I am. The legacy media is not there to inform us. They are only there for clicks and revenue. We need to support independent media and let them die off.
They are and have been in the tank for Trump. Hope they like it when he sends them all to the camps.
I don't watch corporate-controlled media at all. I get my news from Meidas, The Status Kuo, Joyce Vance, Heather Cox Richardson, Robert Reich, and Jeff Tiedrich, among others. I appreciate all of you for not backing down and allowing the billionaires to direct the narrative.
Ditto!! I have said for a long time now that journalistic integrity just doesn’t exist in corporate media anymore. So much nice on MTN!
Scott Dworkin is also very good. Not to mention Berkowitz. I’m not spelling it correctly.

I don’t miss it at all! Sick of their nonsense and slants on stories for ratings
Too stressful. This country, the government the courts, so fucked up. I think we are all in danger.
Absolutely glad I turned off the spineless billionaire owned corporate media. Don’t miss it at all. MTN is much more balanced and informative.
So thankful for this option. I will never forgive corporate media for undermining everything that Kamala and her team tried to accomplish and normalizing all things "Trump".

Yes and not to mention the New York Times, but her emails, her emails, her emails!
What do they say — “Follow the money”?
Ben, yes I am very happy i don’t have to watch the corp media any longer. I really am.

You are, it is sad to say, complicit.
Knock it off.
Unfortunately, the MSM won't stop. I am glad Biden pardoned Hunter.
They’ve actually been giving him free advertising since he came down his golden escalator over 10 years ago! He always screamed “fake news”, but that “fake news” handed him now two presidencies!!!
Exactly right.
Very happy-watch BBC and sometimes Lawrence O’Donnell and my local news.
I hope O'Donnell finds another platform. He's the only person I miss.
I agree, although John Stewart did show o’Donnell saying in 2021 that Trump had left Washington for the last time never to return again. He said Trump would be a pariah. Oh well. Obviously Mitch McConnell thought the same thing when he did not convict Trump in the Senate; he said let the courts handle it and look how well that turned out. McConnell could’ve stopped him and did not.
Exactly. Lawrence O'Donnell is by far my favorite. I was actually thinking he should slide over here.
My local news is sponsored by Elon Musk. I watch the weather on my radar app. They are more exact than local TV.
