YES! Great idea. Maybe Karen would consider having a bumper sticker or t shirt with, “No DIS, MIS, or MAL” along with the new name of her Substack and podcast. Karen?
Break Free Media is a cool Name but your Exceptional work is the magnet that draws us back.. keep saying it how you See it... your fighting Spirit is Special..
Excellent and probably the way most of us feel! There is very little trust in the media anymore -- thankfully!! I think it accelerated after COVID and all the "experts" telling us things that we cannot possibly know ourselves -- insert eye roll here. I love the Truth, and it is like the light. Hopefully more and more people's eyes are opened and less and less are deceived.
Sadly true. The implication is that therefore, you are lying or wrong or should be wearing the tin foil hat. I hate to use the CIA coined “Conspiracy Theorist,” because we need to give that phrase much less power.
I love the new name, its symbolism and strength. The quote you ended the post with is simply spot on. Thanks wholeheartedly for your excellent work. And I'm sure Elon Musk will surprise you in 2025, positively so. Don't be too afraid of Dark MAGA. God bless.
I like the name change, Karen! I believe that by dropping your name and adding "media" you've established clarity given that most media is captured and therefore not free. So now the name speaks directly to what you do. PERFECT.
Good to submit all their propaganda tools for “dismismal”. However I do think unintentional misleading can occur, but it doesn’t need to be framed this way.
The disinformation dozen was mentioned as if in past tense. Has it been abandoned? It was a badge of honor to wind up on that list.
Yes to the new name, Karen! I always enjoy your writing. I didn't know the different meanings of 'mis', 'dis' and 'mal', so I learnt something tonight, but yes I am sure it is intended to confuse. Fortunately here in the UK we have the wonderful BBC Verify to tell us what is true and what isn't - we are so lucky...
Journalists need to be held to a high standard with regard to objective truth. Those who do not uphold, must receive the scold. On the other hand, opinion, which is the raison d’être of 1A, is not bound to truth. False speech is just as well-protected as true speech, excepting defamation.
well, you know what they say, "the truth does not require your participation in order to exist. Bullshit does."
And that's the truth!
I like the name change, Karen. Good stuff. No dis, mis, or mal.
Good to know, thanks.
"No dis, mis or mal" needs to be a bumper sticker.

😆 great idea!

Break Free is good. Unshackle our thinking from the bailiwick of narrative, Karen!
What a great new name. I also like the ‘no dis, mis, or mal. Keep it up!
Thanks!
Or you can go with BREAK FREE MEDEA 😆 - although most readers probably aren't well versed in the works of Euripides haha
Ha-ha!!!

there are still so many, way too many "clingers on" Cling ons?
I am still so surprised. "all of the news outlets are reporting this, so it has to be true"

Thank you. As for Elon Musk, I remain ever skeptical 🤨
As you should, my friend. It could not be a proper surprise otherwise.
Gooooood choice! Maranatha!!

Awesome, thanks!
Name fine... Doesn't matter what you name it if your writing it I'm reading it. :)
That is so wonderful to hear. Thank you!
Good name change. :)

Ah yes, where would we be without the BBC! I lived in London in the 1980s when it was respected.

Well said.
