Legacy Media Isn't Dying, It's Dead
Independent media is the future, and I am proud to be a leader in this movement
Since November 5th, I have gained more than one million new followers across my social media platforms, with the most on TikTok. I don’t write that to brag. I write that because Americans are waking up to a new landscape following this election. Legacy media is no longer dying. It’s dead. And, it died on November 5th.
During the 2024 election, we saw legacy media channels fail everyday Americans time and time again. In print media, we saw the Washington Post and the LA Times reject endorsements of Vice President Kamala Harris because of their billionaire donors. On television, we saw CNN prop-up right wing talking heads like Scott Jennings. And then, shortly after the 2024 election was over, we saw Mika and Joe from MSNBC’s Morning Joe go to Mar A Lago to meet with Donald Trump, bury the hatchet, and kiss the ring.
For years, legacy media channels, whether online, on TV, or in print, have told the American public that Donald Trump is a danger to our way of living. Then, the moment he won, everything changed. He was no longer a danger to our democracy to the legacy media. It was almost like a switch went off and legacy media was afraid that Trump would harm their bottom line. It’s true. And, it’s exactly why I have grown so much since the election.
My channel, whether on TikTok, YouTube, or Bluesky isn’t funded by a billionaire who can control what I can and cannot say. I have full editorial control over the content I release, how I release it, and when I release it. And, I am able to give my viewership the unvarnished, unbiased truth, even when they don’t want to hear it.
So, no matter what, my pledge to you is simple: I won’t be bought out by a billionaire who will control my platform. I will always share the truth. And, you will never catch me groveling at the feet of Donald Trump in Mar A Lago.

Being independent gives journalists the opportunity to actually practice journalism, not do as the boss says!!!
