In an effort to contribute to public awareness about how deeply compromised our news media are, I’ve been giving a bunch of interviews about what happened at Thomson Reuters… putting me behind on completing a number of posts I’ve been preparing for this Substack. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish up those delayed posts and publish them in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, if you’re curious to see what’s been keeping me busy, I’ve collected some of the media coverage below. (I’ll update this Substack page as I do more interviews.)
One thing you’ll notice is that while my experience has been widely reported in right-leaning media there has so far been no coverage in the mainstream corporate media. This doesn’t surprise me given that other mainstream media outlets seem to suffer from the same internal problems preventing truthful reporting as Thomson Reuters does. The reporters and editors at those media outlets are likely just as unable to consider facts that conflict with the racial ideologies prevalent in their organizations as the reporters and editors at Thomson Reuters are—either because of each individual journalist’s own tribal allegiances, or because of the near certainty that racialized bullying will force them from their jobs if they do. Nevertheless, I hope that some brave reporters and editors stick their necks out to break this story in the mainstream press. The public needs to learn about what’s happening behind the curtain of the news agencies they rely on. It will save lives.

Other:
My perception is that liberal media for the most part misleads by omission, i.e. by selective reporting and by insinuation. Of those outlets you list here with which I'm familiar many just outright lie on a regular basis. So I'm principally disappointed with corporate/ liberal media though sadly this is nothing new. At the same time I feel some concern about your becoming a victim of guilt by association. The difficult issue in these times is how to reach an audience that's not merely an echo chamber.
This website helps me somewhat sort through the bullshit and opened my eyes to who owns what.
