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.
In case you missed the end of yesterday's show, here is a quick update on our cell tower fight. We filed an application to be granted intervenor status (if you're not familiar with this, definitely look it up in case you ever need to fight something before your local government). That application included an expert report written by Dr Kent Chamberlain, one of the world's leading RF radiation experts. A week later, we were notified by the county that the cell tower company's attorney asked to have their application continued to a "date uncertain", which basically means an indefinite pause. That meant we did not present at the previously scheduled April 16 meeting. We will see what happens next! I am making sure to take plenty of my fermented cod liver oil/butter oil to help my body deal with the extra activity this has brought to my life - like knocking on neighbors' doors!

I almost feel bad for our rooster, Hei Hei. Even though he continually sneak attacks me, I think his bully behavior is driven by the fact that he gets bullied by pretty much every animal on the farm, including our sheep, Maple.
I deal with Hei Hei by making sure I have cat-like reflexes supported by the nutrient dense fermented cod liver/butter oil at Green Pasture. Time to ditch your generic fish oil. Use promo code “ALISON” at check out for 10% off. https://www.greenpasture.org/
Northwest Florida feels so much like eastern Washington today. We have multiple wildfires in the area and a red flag warning. The sun is so hazy and orange just like I remember on those late summer days when we lived north of Spokane. The air quality is poor and it smells like campfire. I had a friend tell me she sold off part of her beef herd early because the drought has made it unaffordable to keep feeding cows as the grass isn’t growing. There is no immediate danger to us, though the conditions make it risky for anyone who lives in a rural area.
Americans will be screaming about this in about 2028. After it's done, and when it can be played up in someone's political campaign.
