I Won't Apologize for Sending a Strong Message Back...

By Ben Meiselas

I won’t say I am sorry for how I responded to Trump and Fox. I simply called them what they are: vile pieces of trash. I said I have zero respect for Donald Trump regardless of the fact that he occupies the Oval Office. That is true and it’s how I feel. I said he is covering up a pedo sex trafficking ring. That is what he’s doing with Epstein. Trump is a criminal. He is a felon. He is a sexual abuser. He is a fraud. Fox is a network that defames just as they did with Meidas all week and Gavin Newsom all week.

Just because I run this network doesn’t mean I want to mingle with corporate news stooges and behave like them. I want to be the opposite of them. This network is built to be the antithesis of corrosive cable news. When I get heated and call Trump and Fox hosts fascist scum, I am simply reflecting my opinion. If this means I lose sponsors or lose revenue or I can’t land interviews, I truly don’t give a crap.

I am getting a little heated writing this because I am pissed at the amount of messages I am getting from weak people telling me I’m going too far. In this moment there is good versus evil and if you remain silent you enable the evil. Never apologize for trying to destroy evil.

It does seem that Fox attacks us most when we have the momentum. This week feels like we all came out swinging and shellacked the Trump regime. Our coverage was relentless. We beat Fox in the latest charts for digital views and engagement, which has pissed Rupert Murdoch off so much since he spent the whole week having his hosts try to destroy us. When you attack “the Meiselas boys,” as you call us Rupert, we strike back and beat the Murdoch clan. It’s that simple.

is doing. I don't care that they are click-baity - It took me a minute to respect their game. People respond to it. That's the point. In a time when democrats are getting drowned out by propaganda. We need to know how to play the game. Get out of our comfort zone. Stop all the finger wagging and pearl clutching.
