If you’re new here, I left TV news in 2021 after my company (Fox Corp) threatened to fire me for allowing the truth to come out about what a doctor was using to treat sick patients.

I found out from that doctor (@joevaron) that other reporters told him they, too, were not allowed to report what he was doing. In fact, he was interviewed by outlets far and wide from the AP to CNN to BBC, and every one of them edited out what was actually working to heal patients from COVID.

So when I left Fox live on air, it wasn’t too surprising to have reporters from across the country, and even across the Atlantic, reach out to me and say, “Thank you for standing up for us and letting the people know what’s happening behind the scenes.” Many of them felt trapped in a compromised industry, disheartened, and ready to give up on the dream of free press journalism.

Many of them did. They quit and got out of the business completely. Getting out is definitely better than living a lie, but it’s sad to see someone give up on the dream of the free press. I wanted them to know and experience what I found out when I left.

When I left, the audience followed me, hungry for truth from someone who isn’t controlled by a corporation. This is truly why I created the course this past year teaching people how to cover news independently and make a living from it.

You may have noticed I’ve retreated the past year, not covering quite as much news as I used to. I’m giving myself the healing time that I should have given myself back in 2021.  All that stuff I went through looked exciting and adventurous, but it was actually quite traumatic.

As I find my peace, I feel a duty to pass the baton to people ready to get out there and shine light so the people can find their way. If you want to join my second class of students, enrollment closes 1/18. Check it out here:
