It's time to establish dominance. Who is the actual media. Is it us or them?
More accurately, is it you, or is it the corporations, activists, and politicians?
As I wrote on Tuesday, the media is doing its absolute best to elevate racial tensions in this country through Daniel Penny's acquittal for the death of Jordan Neely. Every headline from the corporate media seems geared toward painting this as a racially motivated killing pardoned by a system built to protect and preserve white supremacy. With politicians and activists working in tandem, the threat of racial protests and riots are rising.
The left would love nothing more than another racial movement to begin alongside Trump's second term. They could do a lot with that in terms of narratives.
But things have changed vastly since 2016 and 2020. Now the corporate media has competition: you.
The purchase of X by Elon Musk transformed the social media platform into a true town square where people exchange news freely and without censorship. This was vastly different in previous elections, as Twitter was a platform controlled by the left, including influences by the corporations and the government as evidenced by the Twitter Files.
Since that point, the number one source of news and media has become X, with the people exchanging news and information in real time. The corporate media, the old guard, is falling behind and slowly sinking into irrelevancy. As Musk announced one day after a private journalist displayed their figures and numbers "you are the media now."

This doesn't mean the corporate media has no power. They still control a lot of the big platforms. They are still highly influential, especially to older generations. They control the television shows, movies, and commercials.
X is a large staging area for the truth, but it's surrounded by hostile territories.
And the corporate media is doing what it can to use its advantages to elevate racial tensions in America in hopes that it can sew division and complicate Trump's presidency. The only thing that can stop them from doing this is you and me, and our ability to distribute raw information faster than the media can spin it.
In essence, this is a showdown, and the winner will be proclaimed the official media.
If the protests do kick off and the riots begin, it will be a sign that the corporate media, though dying, is still powerful enough to manipulate the people into believing falsehoods.
However, if the protests stay confined, or don't happen at all, it will mean two things.
Firstly, that the war of information is decided, and the people have won. The old media has lost its power over America, and it will slowly fade into irrelevancy unless it makes some very large changes to how it operates and what its agenda-items are.
Secondly, it will also indicate that the corporate media overplayed its hand over the past decade, and people are just tired of it. This is likely going to assist the people's victory in a big way, as more and more trust has been lost in the media thanks to overt bias and consistent lies that were debunked. The last two BLM riots also left a bad taste in the mouths of the people, and the media played a very large role in stoking tensions.
In other words, the battlefield is actually tilted in your favor. You hold the hill and the media, despite having far more money and territorial influence, it's going to have to struggle against the sheer power of the people. It's a few corporations and all their resources vs. millions of people around the world.
The odds are in your favor. You just have to fight.
This could be a turning point in human civilization that won't be fully realized until possibly years later when we look back. This fallout with the Penny verdict could be nothing but a celebration as the media trains vainly to make it into something sinister. Again, this requires the free distribution of information and for the people to get loud.
