Meidas Made Fox and Murdoch Very Angry

By Ben Meiselas

I will keep this short. We woke up to some positive data about the strength of our movement that has Fox and Rupert Murdoch very upset.

Data point number 1: The MeidasTouch Network took a commanding lead over Fox News in digital views. The MeidasTouch Network is the most-watched YouTube channel in America across all categories, including news. The MeidasTouch Network now averages about 2 million more daily YouTube views than Fox News.

Data Point 2: The MeidasTouch audio podcast has expanded its lead over The Joe Rogan Podcast by nearly double the amount of downloads per month as Rogan. As reported first by The Daily Beast, the latest Podscribe data shows that the MeidasTouch Podcast gets 121 million monthly views and Rogan gets 64.3 million monthly views. (Remember to add the MeidasTouch Podcast on audio on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.)

Data Point 3: If you add the monthly YouTube views and audio podcast downloads together, you get a total of 471 million views/downloads a month.

The combination of these data points means more people in the United States and the world are getting their news from the MeidasTouch Network than any news outlet. Period.

For Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox News, and his execs at Fox News, this is their worst nightmare. They are propped up by billions upon billions of dollars. They pay their hosts tens of millions of dollars each year. Their executives get paid millions of dollars each year. They use their mountains of money to shill for the oligarchy. And, guess what? We record from our living rooms, with the occasional sounds of our dogs barking and sounds of our babies in the background, and Fox is still losing to us.

Despite Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham hatching plans to dump 40–50 videos daily on their feeds to try and beat us, they are still losing to the MeidasTouch Network. Despite Fox investing huge sums of money to beat us in their new digital plan, and despite their limitless access to Trump, they still can’t beat us.

This tells me America is waking up. America is hungry for the truth. America wants fighters right now. America doesn’t want BS. And not just America—most of the world sees it this way. Donald Trump, his MAGA sycophants, and their sicko oligarchs are despised. America and the world are rallying to the MeidasTouch Network, and together we are rallying to defeat Trump and fascism. MeidasTouch has become more than just a media network—it’s the digital town square where the resistance meets, where we exchange and gather information, and where we fight back. The momentum of the MeidasMighty grows.

Let’s keep growing. Let’s continue to win the information war with the truth against the lies of Fox and Murdoch and Trump and Musk and their oligarch buddies. It’s not going to be easy, but if we stick together and keep growing, our impact will be felt more and more each day.
