Just about all of our readers and listeners are well aware that corporate media pushes whatever narrative they’re told to push by their advertisers, not to mention Democrats and any members of the globalist elite cabal who have an agenda for a particular day. Many of us are on the receiving end of the propaganda, which is one of the biggest reasons I recommend using alternative news sources like The Liberty Daily and Discern Report to get the truth.
The powers-that-be have a stranglehold on the information that reaches the masses, but things are shifting. People are becoming more aware that they’re being fed bovine excrement on a daily basis, which is why sites such as the ones I’m affiliated with continue to grow. Meanwhile, more and more journalists are escaping the corporate media world to find success in the freedom of independent media.
One such free journalist is Kristi Leigh. After two decades delivering the narratives as lead anchor for multiple news networks in Ohio and California, she took the opportunity in 2020 to go on her own. She has since worked with Infowars and American Faith and continues to broaden her horizons with gigs across the alternative media spectrum. I was blessed to have her join me on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show.
I will also be talking about how the media has distorted the current and future states of the economy. There are few things more important to Americans than providing for themselves and their families, but uncertainty has made that extremely challenging. Most of us have never faced the type of financial turmoil that’s rampant across the globe today and the trends do not point to a soft landing anytime soon. This is why I’m so bullish on physical precious metals.
Here’s today’s show:
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
