How Wikipedia Got Captured

I once reported on how great Wikipedia was.

Now, it’s FULL of propaganda.

That’s a big problem because its bad information corrupts AI and search results.

Here, John Stossel describes how leftist editors and foreign influences have corrupted one of the Internet’s largest sources of information.

Narrative Warfare

Cultural intelligence strategist Scott Ketterson joins me for a high-level conversation about the information war reshaping modern society. Drawing on his background in cultural analysis, narrative design, and influence architecture, we explore how power now operates through perception, belief, and meaning.

Together, we map out the mechanics of narrative warfare — how institutions, platforms, and state actors engineer stories, shape cultural identity, and compete for cognitive territory in ways the public rarely sees but constantly experiences.

We also break down the newly announced AI Genesis Mission — the executive order issued by President Trump to accelerate national AI deployment. Ketterson and I discuss what this move signals, how rapid integration of AI into government and industry will reshape human society and reshape the relationship between humans and machines. Here’s more from Sarah Westall in a new edition of Business Game Changers.

Is Twitch Going Belly-Up?

Twitch introduced — and almost immediately walked back — a ridiculous $5,000 membership tier that allows you to gift memberships to 1,000 people.

Because of course nobody would use that to troll a streamer and subsequently initiate a chargeback a few months later. Absolutely not. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.

Late Stage YouTube

YouTube has changed drastically in 2025, and not for the better, according to a lot of content creators.

Dropping views, plummeting ad rates, nonsensical channel bans and AI moderation running amuck have been just the beginning of what is looking like the END of the YouTube we’ve all come to know these past 20 years. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.

Fake Americans Destroy Us

This week it was revealed on X just how many foreigners there are pretending to be Americans online.

And they’re successfully sowing the seeds of our demise. Here’s more from Bridget Phetasy on a new edition of Dumpster Fire.

Leftist Streamer Hauled Off

Jack Doherty, one of the most popular leftist streamers, with large followings on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram,  has been arrested in Miami Beach on drug charges and resisting arrest.

In the hours before his arrest over the weekend, the 20-year-old content creator had been streaming from a yacht in Miami Beach. He was found to be in possession of marijuana as well as amphetamines. Here’s more from The Salty Cracker.

Vine Is So Back!

Twitter founder Jack Dorsey is bringing back Vine as the DiVine app, and is even posting hundreds of thousands of classic Vines from the early 2010s.

DiVine will obviously not be a platform for Elon Musk, but will also ban AI-generated videos. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.

Activist Journos Get The Boot

‘Woke’ activist journalists f*ck around and find out. After Conde Nast effectively shut down the trash fire that was Teen Vogue, the terminated union employees confronted the HR manager and filmed themselves harassing him. And, of course, those employees were also fired. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.

The End Of Internet Privacy

Are we getting close to VPNs being outlawed?

The United Kingdom seems to be creeping toward a ban in the interest of “safety” for minors and to push digital ID. But it’s not just the United Kingdom. Michigan is also kicking around the idea of a VPN ban, and it’s Republicans who are pushing for it.

So is this the end of privacy on the Internet? It does feel like we’re inching closer and closer to a surveillance state. I have concerns. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.
