Them and NPR are the only true investigative journalists left.

CNN only looks good because Fox is so blatantly dishonest.

Gee whiz!! Here's a video that shows the difference between CNN and Fox. Moksha, maybe you should turn the TV off and go for a hike, maybe have sex with someone or even by yourself, go bird watching, spy on your neighbors, chop down a tree, go online and study vibrators, go fishing, take up ballet, clean behind your toilet, just turn off the TV, it's not good for you dude!!

Revealed: the people who signed up to the Magacoin Trump cryptocurrency
It bills itself as the ‘digital currency for the MAGA community’ but data shows most of the magacoin is allocated to its self-styled creator

More than 1,000 people have so far signed up to the pro-Trump cryptocurrency magacoin, including conservative media personalities and Republican figures, the Guardian can reveal.

The news comes after poor security configuration in a website associated with magacoin exposed the email addresses, passwords, cryptocurrency wallet addresses and IP addresses of users who have bought in to what its promoters describe as the “digital currency for the MAGA community”.

The data also reveals that the lion’s share of the cryptocurrency so far produced has been allocated to the self-described creator of magacoin, a pro-Trump consultant who owns an LLC associated with the cryptocurrency, and a Super Pac associated with the same consultant.

The information, provided to the Guardian by a self-described hacktivist, unveils the reality around the cryptocurrency whose creators say it is made “by America First Conservatives out of frustration with ‘Losing the Election’ and a desire to fight back by supporting MAGA candidates”.

The vast majority of those sign-ups have only 100 magacoins, the amount offered free in initial publicity to early sign-ups who can claim their share of “75 million MAGACOINS”. The website, echoing widespread rightwing falsehoods about the 2020 election result, says it chose that number “to represent the 75 million voters who were disenfranchised on November 3rd, 2020”.

Other users, however, have greater holdings, and at least some of them may have taken advantage of the cryptocurrency’s Ambassador Program, in which promoters are offering 1,000 free magacoins to approved radio hosts, media personalities, bloggers and grassroots groups who sign up to help promote the currency to their audience.

One account with 1,500 magacoins is associated with the email address of the rightwing broadcaster John Rush, whose Rush To Reason program airs on Denver’s KXL conservative talk station.

Rush recently played host on his program to Marc Zelinka, whose Littleton, Colorado-based used car company, Carmart Inc, applied in April for a trademark for magacoin. Zelinka also administers the magacoin Facebook page, and is credited in conservative social media and on Rush’s show as the creator of magacoin.

Another email address is associated with the Youth Federalist Initiative, a Colorado Republican party-associated effort at youth engagement. The email suggests that the cryptocurrency is in the possession of Evan Underwood, a Colorado Republican activist, podcaster and chair of the Colorado Federation of College Republicans.

Magacoin has been connected in reporting by the Daily Dot with a North Carolina-based Trumpist political operative, Reilly O’Neal, who is the principal of a North Carolina LLC, Magacoin Inc, which was registered last April.

In a telephone conversation, Zelinka, the self-described creator of the cryptocurrency, said that “I don’t control it any more”, and that he had passed the cryptocurrency project entirely to O’Neal.

The Guardian has discovered more extensive connections between O’Neal and the cryptocurrency.

Last month, a Super Pac called Magacoin Victory Fund was registered with the Federal Election Commission. The Super Pac’s main mailing address is a post office box in Raleigh, North Carolina, which is also associated with several other O’Neal-controlled companies and political entities.

According to North Carolina state records, other companies headquartered at the PO box and solely controlled by O’Neal include Rightside Lists LLC and Mustard Seed Media LLC – part owner of Big League Politics.

On magacoin’s front page and in promotional emails it announces that “10 Million MAGACOINS have been donated to the MAGACOIN Victory Fund, a SuperPAC created to support MAGA candidates across the country who will fight for individual rights, religious liberty, protecting the unborn, the 2nd amendment, freedom of speech and the entire America First Agenda”.

The records reflect this gift, with 10 million magacoins associated with an email hosted at the domain of O’Neal’s political consultancy, Tidewater Strategies. Another Tidewater email address is associated with holdings of just over 2m magacoins.

Another 2m magacoins are associated with Zelinka’s phone number and an old email address of Zelinka’s which alludes to his used car dealing.

Previously, O’Neal worked on several North Carolina and national political campaigns, including the campaign of the pro-Trump former judge and accused paedophile Roy Moore.

His political consultancy, Tidewater Strategies, received large sums from mostly Trumpist Republican candidates in the last election cycle, many of whom failed to win office.

O’Neal also reportedly has a stake in the far-right conspiracy-minded website Big League Politics (BLP) through another of his companies, Mustard Seed Media.

That publication’s editor, Patrick Howley, was discredited on the witness stand in the trial of leftwing activists about whom Howley and others fomented conspiracy theories, in order to shift blame from James Fields after he murdered Heather Heyer after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

BLP recently ran a major story on magacoin, promising that the cryptocurrency would “create an ecosystem where pro-Trump individuals can support pro-Trump businesses and candidates without using a financial instrument that benefits the globalists”.

CNN only looks good because Fox is so blatantly dishonest.

Fox News is for people who want to pretend they're informed by watching the "news" while still maintaining the badge of honor they wear signifying their prideful ignorance.

MSNBC is also a more reliable source of news, compared to FOX. It sometimes seems like FOX News is trying to push the limit on how egregious a lie they can get away with. The Democracy Now cable channel also has some excellent coverage and documentaries that are very informative and worth watching. CSPAN also often provides some very evenhanded and fair programming, presenting both sides of important issues. I also have a great deal of respect for the TYT network on the internet. Newsmax and OANN, on the other hand, tend to be some of the worst and most eager disseminators of disinformation -- even compared to FOX.

One problem with some of these channels (like CNN and MSNBC) is that sometimes, in their eagerness to seem fair to all sides, they tend to give more time to the more extreme conservative nonsense than they deserve, while at the same time unfairly downplaying some of the best progressive ideas. They are, after all, owned and controlled by huge corporate interests, which tends to cause them to damp down or avoid outright criticism of the wealthy corporate world that provides much of their funding. Like all news sources, they should be viewed at least somewhat critically. Unlike FOX, they seem willing to fact check themselves and retract mistaken reports and claims. I have seen them do so, and have rarely, if ever, seen FOX retract mistaken or untruthful claims. I have considerable respect for Chris Wallace, though. He is about the only at least halfway creditable and honest journalist left on FOX (which probably means his remaining days on FOX are numbered).
