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.
Margarita is one of our dairy goats. We recently gave her what we thought was an excellent opportunity at date night but she was less than grateful. Pete however was very happy!
Healthy pregnancy means keeping mama healthy - and as an older mom I take my daily dose of fermented cod liver oil / concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture for its omega 3s and vitamins A,D &K. It ended my lifelong battle with cavities and is genuinely great food-based source of nutrition. You get 10% off with promo code "ALISON" at checkout. https://greenpasture.org/
Have you ever read the insert that comes with your cell phone? Longtime investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson told me she remembers getting her first cell phone with a warning not to hold it next to her head. Decades later, she checked and the warning came with her latest cell phone.
Omega 3s are a great way to give your body fuel to fight oxidative stress like what’s caused by RF radiation. It’s one reason I take a daily dose of the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts - it saved my teeth from chronic cavities years ago.

We got back late and knew we were close to chicken predation time. My best idea was to tell the kids to run screaming toward the back pasture. We didn’t lose any animals so maybe it worked? At least it looked funny. I’m sure the neighbors were a little bewildered - or not because we are probably already known as “those neighbors”. 😂
Anyway, you gotta have teeth to scream “GIT OUTTA HUR” at foxes and coyotes so go get that fermented cod liver / concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture! It healed my chronic battle with cavities. It’s also packed with anti-inflammatory omega-3s. We take it every day. It has been part of my daily routine for 15 years.
