It is time to reject the liars

The world is awash in misinformation and disinformation.

Be it mainstream media organizations, social media influencers, politicians, medical officials, environmental leaders, or the person who dominates the discussion at your dinner party – you are being lied to.

No, we are not in the throes of a global climate catastrophe.

No, the main driver of climate change is not the oil and gas industry.

No, it did not make sense for healthy people to take any of the COVID vaccines.

No, neither Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris is the worst politician on the planet.

The truth is, there are countless millions of rational humans on the middle ground who are sick and tired of watching bad actors and narrow-minded buffoons control the narrative.

Polarization, largely driven by inaccurate information feeds, has much of the world on the brink of utter chaos. The UK, for example, is contending with widespread turmoil that seems to have started with false information being spread about the British-born 17-year-old who killed three young girls on July 29 in Southport, England.

Who knows what would have unfolded in the U.S. had the July 13 attempt on Trump’s life been successful.

The bad guys win when we are divided.

Virtually all news companies rely on sensationalism, scandal, and conflict to get your blood boiling and keep you coming back for more.

Social media influencers are in most cases posting just a dumbed-down form of journalism focused entirely on audience size; they will say whatever garners them more followers and money.

Politicians are forever chasing votes. These days, one is more likely to come across the Loch Ness Monster than an honest politician.

Leading medical officials have become political pawns who prostitute themselves to keep the medical machine well lubricated while the health of the populace plunges.

Environmental “leaders” continue to line their pockets with gold on the climate conference circuit despite being consistently wrong with their predictions of climate doom.

With so many villains driving the bus toward the cliff, it is tempting to throw up our hands and accept that we are helpless victims in an unjust world.

We at BIG Media Ltd. are taking a different approach, and we ask that you do the same. We are committed to pushing back against the misinformation and disinformation, and every ounce of support strengthens our impact.
