Folks, let’s talk about who really pulls the strings in America’s so-called “free press.” Jimmy Kimmel may be back on ABC, but let’s not kid ourselves—giant, soul-sucking monopolies like Sinclair and Nexstar still poison the airwaves with propaganda and own many of the local news stations people trust, because they think it's actually local news.

Nexstar even runs NewsNation, a pretend “straight news” network that is right-wing sewage with a Grinch’s smile when the lights go down. If you know anyone watching it, tell 'em to shut it off. They’ll immediately gain ~18.25 IQ points.

Second, they deserve better than corporate disinformation peddled by a company that makes elephant dung kept in a dumpster in the Dubai sun in the middle of August smell like Chanel No. 5.

There's much in this Substack from our convo with viral TikToker "itsluke7," a 22 yr old Iowan who's channeled all our rage into brilliant TikToks. Watch the video and read the rest of to the Substack. Also, support our partner, Incogni, who scrub your personal info online--SS #, DOB, etc--so sleazes who sell it to identify thieves can't gain access to it.

Can you help us out?
