I should have made one other important point in this piece: "The narrative" CAN be changed. It does't happen often, but when it does it was real journalism that spurred the change - often in a matter of days or weeks.
For example, freelance journalist Nicholas Wade (?) by himself debunked the theory that the virus came from "natural origins." For more than a year, this was THE narrative (pushed by Fauci et al of course). Once this journalist wrote his piece, laying out all the nonsensical elements of this argument and all the better arguments that is was almost-certainly manipulated in some lab .... this narrative (somehow) crumbled. It was at least fair game to consider this.
Another example is a WSJ reporter exposing Theranos and its founder.
For almost a decade, everyone thought this blood-testing device was going to change the world and this was a billion-dollar company. Once the reporter - and this news organization - did some actual investigative journalism ... that company was toast.
That's the goal or the template. Lies don't like sunlight or scrutiny.
BTW, the organization I envision would have a primo Reader Comments Section just like Substack. So some of the best news tips and story ideas or data would end up coming from readers.
There are many, many sources right now that are providing abundant and truthful information on exactly what’s happening. Substack is one of the best, but there are plenty more.
But the bitter Truth is very few Americans want to know it. They’re scared out of their wits at losing jobs and friends. It’s called Mass Formation, the fulminating totalitarian state based on lies and fear. Biden and most other frauds would already be out of office and/or in jail if this were not the case. Blackmail is the biggest reason for all this Evil. Wake up and smell the smoke. A powerfully intelligent and malignant force is driving this monumental catastrophe. Civilization is in grave peril.

The hurdle you have to get past is getting that 20-30% of the population who still think the mainstream media is actual news, to believe you. Case in point: I visited my parents recently. They're both well-educated, successful people, but they only believe the MSM. They literally will buy anything those guys say (no matter how many times they're proven wrong!), and nothing anybody else says. The MSM knows this, and they love it. Even with $20 million, I don't know that you can convince brainwashed people that they're brainwashed.
That said, I hope you can, and I hope you do! It's a wonderful idea ☺☺☺.
Millions of us around the once-free world would read your "newspaper". I have long thought that the problem with Substack is that you have to know it's there, you have to know who to read and you have to decide how many you can afford to pay for. It would be much easier to pay for a "journal" where they are all collated together. It's also a problem that the internet is so vast that many things get lost inside it - it's not like going to a newsagents and looking along the racks of papers and journals. Good luck with finding your millionaire with some spare cash!
These things/issues/failures are as old as man. Just read Proverbs Chapter 29.
Here are some chosen quotes:
If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked.
Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.
The righteous detest the dishonest; the wicked detest the upright.
But what does God require?
He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6
In Canada there are several independent news sites that rely on public support. They are not able to use the main stream media broad casting system as far as I know but word of mouth has made many aware of who and where to hear what they report. It has to start some where and this is working in Canada to some degree and growing more and more.
I can't stress the importance of keeping politics out of this news organization.... I can't send anyone anything that is in anyway construed as "right wing." I remember someone asking Robert Malone why he only spoke on "right wing" shows and he answered, "no one else asks me!" So real journalists, as you say Bill, in NYC, in DC, talking with Congress people and Senators, asking for responses when presented with facts.... everything in one place...this would absolutely work. And with the way you lay it out the narrative could be torn open pretty quickly. So many institutions are holding on to directives given to them 2-3 years ago! If transmission isn't stopped for instance, why are universities requiring students to be "boosted?" There are so many lies floating around....
Send this idea to Mike Lindell and Brannon House. They have TV and radio platforms already with 24/7 broadcast with 15 plus regulars and guests from all around the world. Just my idea.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and business ideas to help our country.
Great idea. Maybe you can partner with substack. Substack maybe just needs a sort of online “broad sheet”format that features the best columns of the day. It would be for all those people who want one-stopping shopping and don’t no which individuals to follow
I can't recall your background - have you had any business experience?
This follows up on what we spoke about a few weeks ago.
And I believe you are dead right we need such a global media organization that will step into the space that is not being filled today - real journalism that pursues the truth and is unafraid to do so.
The key is funding.
The global fascism alliance, centered around Davos multinationals investment companies and the billionaires foundations have seized control of the mainstream media and control about 90% of the global media, and are also in control of Silcon Valley now and using it as a global disinformation and censorship machine.
It's big capitalism and their funding that we are fighting.
And advertising, subscriptions and donations are the key funding sources that they use to corrupt the media.
So traditional methods of funding are not available for the creation of such an independent media organization, as anything that links to big capitalism will ultimately be corrupted by the globalists.
We need an alternative business model for cutting edge journalism.
And as I outlined a few weeks ago I think that the right model is a pay by view model, so that the consumers can consume the news they want, the journalists the want, the media organizations they like, which can be bought under this umbrella and help to fund them.
We need a start up that creates this - and in the truth starved world if you create an opportunity for people to hear voices with more insightful research from across the globe, and let the consumers pay per view a few cents for each article or video they watch - I believe this would create a new model that could end the monopoly of big business on the media.
I love the idea. You should think ELON wants to put the MSM out of business (he liked a tweet that suggested it). He's got the capital and the pull to help you if there was a way to partner your idea with his business model.
I think the timing of your idea is excellent because the ratings on ALL of the MSM except for tucker carlson alone are tanking. FOX is despised by everyone that doesn't live in the villages. I dont trust Rupert and his liberal son is being left FOX. Rupert is in his 90's.
You would have to account for spies. They are in EVERY major news organization driving narratives. To really be a go to destination you need some tv and air time for massive marketing but whos gonna let you? You would be wanting to compete with them. I dont have a solution for that, leads me back to Elon. He gave 3 investigative sub stack writers access to do their thing so long as they published some stuff on Twitter first.
It was a little messy, this formula could be tweaked for a smoother presentation. Teasers on Twitter, full story with your organization. If you are on Twitter everyday, you see Tracy beanz , Greenwald, taibbi, berenson, other investigating types getting more exposure there than their substack. Also I dont want to
Go multiple substacks and pay multiple monthly fees for writers. Your idea of one umbrella works for me with one fee.
I REALLY don't want to go to multiple web sites of these writers, thats just too much time wasted. Substack sort of addresses that but its still a little cumbersome. So yes, great idea but 100,000,000 from Elon for seed money and ideas would be more realistic than any money from a bank ready to use ESG scores as soon as they can.
Just a warning to all of you who read Bill and other Substacks, I have been starting to get emails that appear to be from various Substack sites that I follow saying they are responding to my comments.
Here's a few examples:

Since they all have the same number and similar message,
I'm sure this is some new scam, but since I don't write on Substack, I'm not sure who to report this to.
The covid story will have a life cycle. 20 years? Less? Longer?
As for the rest, absolutes are often proven wrong so to claim there will *always* be psychopaths is probably a stretch. But what do I know? Meaning specifically psychopaths that have created Corbett’s pathocracy.
My point is while I agree that the power driving deep corruption absolutely [sic] needs to be exposed, challenged and brought down, this could in theory actually happen. How long is that life cycle? Half a century? Full century?
In my crazy mind the organization you propose should have written into its charter or mission an inviolable fundamental acknowledgement of its raison d’être and once its time has passed, something that will become obvious as the organization will incrementally shrink in response to its mission, the board (or guiding-governing structure) must be bound to dissolve the entity. That day is a long way off. But I think it’s important to hold the entity to its stated purpose and allow it to slowly report itself out of existence.
I suspect few if any of us will be alive at such a time. But maybe not!? A gal can hope. Business by their nature exist to perpetuate themselves. This is one business that, in my mind, needs to exist to see itself become part of history, proudly, with integrity. If anybody’s in it for the “wrong” reasons -which, when speaking about half centuries or a century is not likely anything a founder will be able to track - that won’t happen. I find that problematic from the get-go.
But I’m just a lone old gray mare who’s fond of integrity and truth.
Might want to start cooking something else up in the early days, something that *would* survive the “necessary” extinction of the original organization? Build it in.
Stream of consciousness as I read about your big, well-intentioned, and good idea whose time may have arrived but should by the nature of its mission intentionally go the way of the dinosaur. In its proper time. No intention to offend or be a water logged blanket.

Please pass this on!!!
Paid for by the viewer, no advertising.
That's the only way I see it working.
Any investor is going to ask.
What do we do when Covid stops holding paying customers?
When Malone stopped writing exclusively on covid, I stopped paying.
Probably setting myself up for a thrashing.
Taking the long view.
The covid story will have a life cycle. 20 years? Less? Longer?
