‘Smart Money’ and the ‘Media’

This appeal is addressed to any God-fearing polar opposites of George Soros out there reading these lines.

But it speaks to all who have discerned that a Big Tech-AI information conglomerate is destroying their grandchildren’s future right before their eyes.

News media consolidation combined with the Google LLC monopoly on advertising networks and search means that most of the “news” you see on browsers and cell phones was bought and paid for by special interests with agendas.

Today, most “news” organizations are subsidized by moneyed interests with principles and ideals that have little to do with freedom of the press as protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Independent “alternative” media without sponsors  — such as WorldTribune.com — can no longer compete on a level playing field as in the early days of the Internet News revolution.

As the United States approaches its 250 birthday, Americans who have lived abroad know this: Societies that grant their citizens basic liberties flourish, while others don’t.

Such God-given freedoms that the founding fathers risked all to enshrine unlocks near infinite human potential. ….

…. Until they are gone.

America’s exceptionalism and its rare and precious First Amendment freedoms of speech, religion and the press were jeopardized by the Covid lockdown beginning in 2020. This led to a consequential presidential election widely regarded as compromised.

“Fake news” went from a partisan putdown to a painful and universal reality that extends beyond our borders.

Consider for example South Korea, a strategic U.S. ally in the Far East which boomed following the Korean War as it adopted a constitution reinforcing fundamental freedoms. Now, as recently reported, a stealth move is afoot to strip even references to “freedom” in that nation’s constitution as ruling forces increasingly control the media in alignment with communist China.

“Legacy news” has become a commodity in recent decades displacing the fierce independence of the American Free Press which once set a high bar for worldwide media organizations.

That’s bad news for humanity, and the Free Press Foundation is answering an existential crisis.

Advisors at Free Press Foundation include true journalists who could not in good conscience publish commercials disguised as objective truth. They and many other colleagues have literally lost livelihoods because their integrity as news professionals was not for sale.

FreePressFoundation.org, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was founded to support such journalists, train their successors and raise awareness of the aforementioned threats to First Amendment freedoms. With your support, I know the free market will reward the integrity of news professionals who have regained the public’s trust.

This Information War will be won by those like David with the audacity to challenge Goliath, despite the odds.

Thank you in advance for supporting Free Press Foundation with your generous tax-deductible contribution! Your descendants will be grateful.

Robert Morton, Chairman     Free Press Foundation
