Contrarian journalist Glenn Greenwald recently coined an aphorism that comes to me almost daily as I read the news: “Journalists are authoritarians.”
In an interview with Reason, the founder of The Intercept blamed his peers for relentlessly haranguing Silicon Valley to more closely regulate the subjectively offensive speech of platform users. As a tech policy reporter in the coming-of-age period of social media, I can confirm these companies did not have stated designs on controlling what you can say, beyond complying with routine law enforcement requests and referring true threats to authorities.
The journalism mentality “used to be an anti-authoritarian mentality,” Greenwald said. “Now they work for big corporations and become authoritarians.”
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
