I am going to make this into a video short for YouTube. I want your feedback!
1- We admitted that we were corporate Newsaholics and that our bias had become unmanageable.
2- Came to believe that a power greater than bias - called critical thinking - could restore us to sanity.
3- Made a decision to turn over our intentional blatant propaganda and less obvious lazy echo chambers to the care of critical thinking.
4- Made a searching and fearless inventory of the fake news we've produced.
5- Admitted to Twitter, to ourselves, and to Joe Rogan the exact nature of our disinformation, a word we commonly save for those questioning establishment narratives but rarely use for ourselves.
6- Were entirely ready to release our defects of news judgment which include but aren't limited to the following: group think, hubris, moral crusading, identitarianism, lack of time and resources, fear of independent journalism, post-Trump derangement syndrome, character defamation of outsiders, unquestioning trust of bureaucratic sources, regurgitating wires, and basic unresearched stupidity.
7- Humbly returned to a teleprompter, website or social media platform to see where we've removed our shortcomings without alerting anyone so as to paint an illusion that we are trustworthy when in fact we regularly make mistakes.
8- Made a list of persons, issues, and freedoms we've harmed - and became willing to make amends to them all.
9- Made direct amends to such people, issues and freedoms - especially those we've mislabeled conspiracy theorist, misinformation, or extremist in an effort to use our corporate power to silence others.
10- Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted that we repeat the false presumptions of our peers because it's safer than getting kicked off YouTube for telling the truth.
11- Sought through critical thinking to improve our capacity for truth wherever it may lead, seeking knowledge and the fearlessness to report it, even if that means questioning our archetypal public health patriarch, Dr Fauci.
12- Having had an awakening as the result of critical thinking encouraged by historic public distrust in our industry, we tried to carry this message to other corporate TV Newsaholics, and to practice these principles even if the New York Times writes a smear piece.
"Mommy Cow" was looking SO good in her blue halter when we dropped her off at her new temporary home. Mr. Bull was thoroughly impressed. We will leave her there 90 days (as cows ovulate every 21 days typically) in order to give her a few chances to get pregnant. It takes about the same time to bake a calf as a human child, so if all goes well, we should have a nice little Angus calf next Spring. Healthy hormones are very important for Mommy Cow - and same goes for us! I love the omega-3 benefits in my fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ which are known to reduce inflammation, increase insulin sensitivity and balance hormones naturally.

We are sending "Mommy Cow" (as Lily named her) to a bull, so we chose a nice bright blue halter for her as she'll be in a herd with a bunch of other black cows. I got a cow halter and a horse halter because I wasn't sure what would fit best. I must say, she looks so purdy! If you want a shiny coat like Mommy Cow, don't forget to grab some fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ which has been incredible for my nails, teeth and hair - truly! My dentist recently told me I have "very good teeth for 40." Use promo code "ALISON" at checkout for 10% off.
If you do self-care like Sassy, you will never need a vacation. Every morning she leaves the barn and heads right for her favorite itching post, a nice big old tree with plenty of shade and lots of exfoliating bark. Her facial expressions always seems like she is discovering it for the first time, despite having used it daily for years.
Speaking of self-care, love yourself enough to get a fish oil that really works because it’s mixed with a butter oil that compliments it for maximum absorption. Check out https://www.greenpasture.org/ and try the fermented cod liver oil/concentrated butter oil blend from Green Pasture, which I have taken for over a decade. (Promo code “ALISON” at check out for 10% off). I used to get cavities all the time and cleared them simply with the vitamins A, D & K in this product. Love yourself like Sassy does!
