Independent Media is Taking Over—And There’s No Stopping Us

For decades, corporate media giants dictated the national conversation, deciding which stories mattered and which voices were amplified. But the tides are shifting. Independent media, built on truth, transparency, and community, is not just challenging the establishment—it’s surpassing it.

Don’t believe it? The numbers speak for themselves.

A recent study by CAP Action, analyzing news organizations, revealed that our TikTok page now ranks second in engagement, outperforming legacy outlets like MSNBC, The Daily Show, and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. This isn’t a fluke or a one-time success. It’s proof that people are turning away from corporate-controlled narratives and seeking independent voices that prioritize honesty over profit.

And better yet, my work is not funded by billionaires or ad companies. It’s funded by you. Your support has allowed me to do this work full-time, and just today. Please consider becoming a paid subscriber today to support this effort:

It’s not just social media where independent media is dominating. The podcasting world has seen a major shift, too. The MeidasTouch Podcast recently achieved something once thought impossible—it surpassed Joe Rogan, claiming the top spot as the most downloaded podcast in the country.

For years, Rogan’s podcast was seen as untouchable, a juggernaut in the industry. But the rise of MeidasTouch proves that people are hungry for a new kind of content—one that values fact-based discussions over conspiracy-driven entertainment. This milestone isn’t just a win for one podcast; it’s a signal that independent media, when powered by truth and community, can outmatch even the biggest names in the industry.

Mainstream media’s credibility is eroding. Decades of sensationalism, corporate bias, and profit-driven agendas have left audiences disillusioned. Viewers are no longer willing to be spoon-fed narratives designed to serve elite interests. Instead, they’re flocking to independent platforms—ones that offer genuine, unfiltered reporting.

We’ve built something different. Instead of pandering to advertisers or corporate executives, we serve the community. Instead of pushing agendas, we expose them. Our success isn’t just about numbers; it’s about trust.

Traditional media relies on a top-down approach—broadcasting from ivory towers, disconnected from the people. Independent media thrives because it does the opposite. We engage, listen, and grow with our audience. The community we’re building isn’t just consuming content; they’re part of the movement. They’re the reason we’re winning.

Every view, share, and comment is a testament to the demand for truth. The era of monolithic media control is crumbling, and independent journalism is taking its rightful place at the forefront.

We’re not just challenging the mainstream—we’re replacing it. As independent media continues to expand, it will no longer be the alternative; it will be the standard. The world is waking up, and the numbers prove it.

The truth is unstoppable. And so are we.
