Once again today, I find myself defending the work of my editorial team because an armchair quarterback has had an AI chatbot provide analysis of one of our articles. In that person's mind, he was providing definitive proof that our article was deeply flawed and driven by agenda. Far too many people are treating AI chatbots as if they are the ultimate answer key. That is a big problem. I will take the analysis of my editorial...

In 2021 and 2022, as a fledgling platform offering an elevated form of news journalism, it was difficult to educate the masses because the major media companies were deleting or hiding our very accurate content on such key issues as COVID-19, climate change, energy transition, and political patronage. But those media companies are no longer hiding the truth from you. Nowadays, many simply hide the facts from themselves. Many continue to follow mainstream media organizations despite the fact that...

An energy “reality” reminder is that crude oil by itself is useless black tar, unless you build a multi-billion-dollar refinery to break it down to produce various transportation fuels and oil derivatives that are the basis of the products in our materialistic world. Without the refineries that turn the black tar into important fuels and derivatives that are the basis of more than 6,000 products in our daily lives, life goes back to the 1800s. Why...

It is time to take stock of what to date has been a mind-blowing third decade of the 21st century. A lot of you are too busy to get into the weeds, but my incredible editorial team takes a machete to the nuisance material every day to shine a light on the roots of the big issues. Because 21st-century attention spans have the longevity of a lightning bolt, I will present the summary through a series...

What a breath of fresh air the last week has been. For those who have suggested that the good fight is futile and that the corrupt will always rule the day, I hope you can see that there is hope – and good reason to keep fighting. We can hold people accountable. Royal family members can be arrested (Ex-Prince Andrew’s arrest spurs Epstein accountability calls from UK to U.S. ). Tech titans, entertainment moguls, and politicians can be humiliated , their legacies...

Xīnnián kuàilè! (pronounced shin-nyen kwai-luh) Since switching BIG Media's editorial focus from North America-centric to global, we have attracted a lot of readers in China. So, it makes sense that I pay more attention to Chinese customs, including new year celebrations. And as good fortune would have it, it appears that this should be a good year for me. In Chinese zodiac terms, today is the first day of the year of the Fire Horse. The last such year...

Most of us are having difficulty determining what online content is real and what is generated by artificial intelligence. Most of us are having difficulty determining what is fact and what is fiction. It is getting worse at an astonishing pace. And most of us are doing nothing to fight the slide toward a world dominated by tech overlords and devoid of individualism. Some say that it is too late; the genie is out of the bottle, and...

Many in my network have said that they are "too busy" to read the facts/logic-focused content at BIG Media, and that it is easier to pick up on current events from social media. The problem: the news that reaches you through social media is at the very least sensationalized, and routinely grossly inaccurate. So, for your convenience, I have taken a lot of today's biggest issues and boiled them down to one simple statement per issue...

Since no one else seems to be keeping track, I decided to publish results from a competition that BIG Media Ltd. is having with the roughly 1 million other news companies on the planet. Now, because it is difficult to monitor all million of them, it is possible that I missed a scoring play by one of those news groups. If you believe one of our rivals scored a point in any of these categories,...

The BIG Media team keeps getting bigger, and the content keeps getting better. No sensationalism. No expert testimony. No picking sides. Just a bunch of intelligent, high-integrity people (and me) doing great research on the most important issues, and presenting their findings with logical interpretation and full transparency. This is the way news journalism is supposed to be done. Be part of the change at BIG Media. A quick summary of the BIG faces (left to right, row by...
