‘We’re fighting for you!’ Podcaster Ben Meiselas on taking on the Maga media – and winning the ratings battle

His channel, MeidasTouch, puts out 15 videos a day exposing Republican failings – and it is getting bigger audiences than Joe Rogan’s. Is this the champion the American left has been waiting for?

The corporate media reflect the owners and oligarch owners instead of reporting what is actually occurring. Only independent media report what is actually happening - support independent media and cancel your corporate media support - cancel Disney, HULU, paramount, MSNBC, etc!
