I’m done. Actually, let’s be real, I checked out of the absolute circus that is mainstream cable news a long time ago. Whether it’s CNN, MSNBC, or Fox News, it’s painfully obvious they aren’t reporting the truth; they are just manufacturing a script.
On my Next Gen page, we’ve talked about Robert Maxwell, the man who pioneered the monopoly on information. Today, that monopoly has evolved. The same billionaires who want to own your child’s screen are using these fake news networks to program the narrative. If they own the device and the script, they think they own the future. But not our kids.
When are Americans finally going to wake up and realize these networks are pure fake news? It’s funny, Trump used to scream that from the rooftops, and he was right. But even that’s changed. Now, he mostly only breaks out the “fake news” label when he’s sparring with someone like Kaitlan Collins at CNN because she’s pushing him.
But let’s look at the reality: they are all fake. Even Kaitlan, who acts like the “tough journalist,” conveniently ignores anything that doesn’t fit the anti-Trump narrative or the corporate agenda. It’s all a performance, and we’re the ones paying the price for their lies. 🎭
I really “woke up” to this in 2020 when I was 30. Looking back, I can’t believe I ever let them fear-monger me with the COVID narratives. As this war with Iran escalates, the talking heads are all using the same scripted phrase: “Short-term pain for long-term gain.” They want us to accept surging gas prices, supply chain chaos, and more “temporary” sacrifices.
Does that sound familiar? Because it sounds exactly like “Two weeks to flatten the curve.” In 2020, they told us “short-term pain” was the only way to save ourselves. Six years later, we can see it was just a foot in the door for more control. Now, they’re using the same psychological trick to get us to sign off on a massive conflict. They take these talking points, literally word-for-word, and repeat them until people start to believe them.
It’s the same playbook, just a different year. They want you focused on the “short-term” so you don’t notice the long-term sovereignty you’re giving away. The “news” is often just a script designed to keep us terrified and compliant.
The Latest Receipts
Fox News & The Dover Ceremony: This past weekend at Dover Air Force Base, we saw a total lack of respect. During a solemn ceremony for our fallen heroes, Trump stayed saluting in a white baseball cap. But instead of reporting on the reality, Fox News ran old, “dignified” footage from a different ceremony where he wasn’t wearing a hat. They didn’t even acknowledge the “mistake” until those of us on X went OFF and called out the fake news they were airing. It shouldn’t take a social media uprising to get the “fair and balanced” network to show what’s actually happening.
MSNBC & The Russia Obsession: I don’t know how anyone can still listen to Rachel Maddow. She is still spewing “Russia-gate” lies years after they’ve been debunked. It’s a distraction. There is a country that holds MASSIVE influence over the United States, and we all know it isn’t Russia… Why are we still chasing ghosts from 2016?
CNN & The Journalism Gap: Seeing Jake Tapper try to diss Ryan Grimm and Jeremy Scahill from Drop Site News is laughable. Tapper wishes he was half the journalist they are. Jake is the leader of propaganda, while Grimm and Scahill are doing the grueling work of covering the atrocities in Gaza and the reality on the other side of the world, Jake was busy promoting a book about Biden’s “decline” that was five years too late.
People like Saagar Enjeti and Krystal Ball (Breaking Points) were calling out Biden’s cognitive state years ago. For CNN to act like this is “new” information for a book release is a slap in the face to everyone who has eyes.
The Bottom Line
It breaks my heart to see older generations still blinded by these stations. They trust these talking heads because “that’s how it’s always been,” but the game has changed. These networks are pure propaganda, and it makes me terrified for our country. If we allow blatant liars to push false narratives as “truth,” how do we ever get out of this mess? These people need to be held accountable. We need to stop feeding the machine.
But as a Millennial Mama, my biggest mission is making sure this cycle ends with us. We have to teach the next generation that “the news” isn’t always a source of truth, it’s a business with a bottom line.
I’m teaching my kids to ask: Who paid for this? Who benefits from me being afraid? And what are they NOT telling me?
If we don’t raise them to be skeptical, they’ll be just as easy to control as the people who fell for “weapons of mass destruction” or “two weeks to stop the spread.”
There is a reason the establishment comes so hard at independent journalists. It’s because devils can’t handle the light of TRUTH. The things they cover and the conversations they have are killing the mainstream narrative, and that makes them a threat to the powers that be.
We need more people willing to stand in the light. ✨️
Media Literacy Tips:
- The 3-Source Rule: Just like Cell Phone Sovereignty is about owning your data, Media Sovereignty is about owning your mind. Never trust a headline until you’ve checked it against independent sources.
- Identify the ‘Fear-Hook’: If the news makes you panic, they are trying to control you. Truth brings clarity, not chaos. If it’s trying to make you scared or angry, ask: What is the agenda behind my fear?
- Follow the Funding: We look at who pays for the ads. If it’s Big Pharma or corporate giants, we know the “reporting” has a price tag.
It’s time to wake up, America. 👁
The truth isn’t on a channel. It’s wherever they’re trying to silence the loudest.
