WATCH: Kassam Says ‘MeidasTouch’ Is Eating Media Matters’ Lunch.

MeidasTouch, the former Democrat super PAC responsible for the “bloodbath” hoax, has rendered David Brock, Media Matters, and the old guard of the online left redundant, says Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse.

Speaking on Steve Bannon’s “War Room,” Kassam said “Media Matters and David Brock and all of these guys” are “old hat.” He described them as “yesterday’s man and yesterday’s way of doing” things.

“MeidasTouch is for the TikTok generation,” Kassam explained. He noted they are “quite open” about their underhanded way of doing things, urging people to read their quotes, as reported by The National Pulse on Wednesday.

“They don’t say, ‘Oh, we’re news reporters. We’re trying to be journalists. We’re trying to expose the truth.’ They say, ‘Hey, we’re clipping Donald Trump out of context three, four, five times a day, and these things are getting 25 million views,’” Kassam explained.

“Media Matters is slow, it takes them six hours to get a story up,” he continued. “This is not the way to reach people anymore. Sorry, Brocksters, you’re done. MeidasTouch has eaten your lunch. That’s what’s happening here, and that’s why these guys are so dangerous.”

Kassam stressed that MeidasTouch was “invited to a preview screening of the State of the Union inside the White House.” He described this as “collusion between the Biden White House and this Hollywood-funded, Reid Hoffman-funded, hit job institution.”

On the links to Hoffman, a major early donor to MeidasTouch, Kassam noted that the LinkedIn billionaire — and visitor to Epstein island — is “under the mattresses” of many operations against Donald Trump. These include E. Jean Carroll, Russia hoaxsters FusionGPS, and Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley.

“Reid Hoffman really is the lynchpin of Never Trumpism right now,” Kassam said.

Biden White House Strategist Praises ‘MeidasTouch’ Bloodbath Hoaxsters, Calls Them ‘Front Lines.’

Joe Biden’s White House strategist and communications chief Anita Dunn has praised the bloodbath hoax progenitors ‘MeidasTouch’ describing them as the “front lines” of the fight against President Donald J. Trump and his re-election efforts. Earlier this week, The National Pulse announced a full investigative focus on the shady ‘MeidasTouch Network,’ which began as a Democrat PAC funded by E. Jean Carroll and Nikki Haley backer Reid Hoffman. You can support our work by joining, here.

“We need to be creative and move fast to contrast the President’s optimistic agenda for the future with the extreme agenda of Republican officials who want to take us back in time,” Dunn said in a comment to the Semafor website. “Aaron, Ron, and many others are on the front lines of making sure the American people know the truth of what is at stake,” she added.

Aaron is Aaron Rupar, a long-time hoaxster posing as a journalist on social media. Rupar’s work has been parodied in Urban Dictionary and has even been leveraged by the Chinese Communist Party to undermine U.S. law enforcement. This didn’t stop him being lauded by Joe Biden’s White House. Rupar and Ron Filipowski were even invited to a special preview of the State of the Union address, where they hobnobbed with Dunn alongside Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.

Filipowski is the “Editor in Chief” of the MeidasTouch Network, founded by the brothers Ben, Brett, and Jordy. He’s also a “low-profile criminal defense attorney” who spends much of his time tweeting hoaxes like his colleague, the anonymized “Acyn” on X/Twitter. Acyn was the original progenitor of the bloodbath hoax, which even left-wingers admitted was a fraud on the American public.

Rupar admitted to Semafor that Acyn called Trump’s Ohio speech “kind of boring” and singled out the bloodbath line as a means by which to peddle content.

“The problem that he ran into with the ‘bloodbath’ thing was that he gave all of these networks a very easy headline and frame,” Rupar said.

MeidasTouch, Filipowski admits, is an out-and-out extension of the Biden campaign operation.

“The Meidas guys, as a team, said: We are going to do this to Trump,” Filipkowski said. “We are going to hit every gaffe, every mispronunciation, every slurred word, every mispronounced name, every time he mixes up a name. We’re going to clip that and we’re going to put it out and we’re going to put it in montages. No one else was doing that. Before last August, you can’t find a mainstream media story about Trump mispronouncing and slurring words. They weren’t out there.”

MeidasTouch staffers have used the word “bloodbath” several times in their reporting. However, simply pointing to their hypocrisy will scarcely do the job of exposing such a group. That’s why The National Pulse is committed to investigating the founders, their staff, and their Epstein-linked operation. Click here to join us.

‘Bloodbath’ Hoaxsters ‘MeidasTouch’ Used The Same Word Multiple Times in Past Social Posts.

MeidasTouch, the far-left news political action committee turned news organization that popularized the “bloodbath” hoax against Donald Trump, has used precisely the same term in the same way as the former president.

In a post by the official MeidasTouch X account from December 2023, the group described a debate between California Governor Gavin Newsom and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as “a bloodbath” for DeSantis.

Brett Meiselas, one of the trio of brothers who founded MeidasTouch, also posted in December 2022 that a drop in Tesla stocks was an “absolute bloodbath.”

Donald Trump used the expression in the same way when talking about the consequences of Joe Biden allowing China to flood the U.S. with cars made in Mexico. Still, MeidasTouch, the corporate media, and the Biden campaign lied that he was threatening “political violence.”

The National Pulse has begun a wide-ranging investigation into MeidasTouch, which emerged in 2020 and rapidly established connections with big-money donors such as Reid Hoffman, a former guest of Jeffrey Epstein who has also funded the Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley, E. Jean Carroll, and FusionGPS.

REVEALED: Epstein Island’s Reid Hoffman, Megadonor to E. Jean Carroll, Nikki Haley Funds MeidasTouch Group Behind ‘Bloodbath’ Hoax.

LinkedIn billionaire and Epstein island visitor Reid Hoffman, a megadonor to the Democrats, Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley, E. Jean Carroll, and the legal defense of Russia hoaxers FusionGPS, has also donated in large sums to the MeidasTouch Network. Founded by the three Meiselas brothers — Ben, Brett, and Jordy — the far-left media organization helped popularize the “bloodbath hoax” against Donald Trump over recent days.

MeidasTouch intentionally omitted that Trump was referring to an economic bloodbath for the auto industry in his speech in Ohio on Saturday. Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, alongside the corporate media, took up the theme, alleging the former president was threatening “political violence.”

The group has the support of many high-profile celebrities and political figures. The brothers Meisalas have employed a team of hardline ‘Never Trump’ activists to masquerade as journalists for their website, which began its life as a Democratic PAC.

Now, The National Pulse can reveal that one of the men who helped them get it off the ground was none other than Epstein-linked billionaire Hoffman, who also bankrolled the E. Jean Carroll case against Donald Trump, and threw cash at Nikki Haley prior to the abortion of her failed political campaign.

Hoffman has now been outed for visiting Epstein’s island in 2014 – long after Epstein’s conviction for procuring a girl below age 18 for prostitution – and even arranged to stay at the Manhattan townhouse where the financier abused many of his victims.

Hoffman admitted to The Wall Street Journal that “by lending my association, I helped [Epstein’s] reputation, and thus delayed justice for his survivors.” He claimed his last interaction with the convicted sex offender was in 2015.

Hoffman also “contributed more than $600,000 to the legal defense fund of Bean LLC — otherwise known as Fusion GPS, the company responsible for the creation of the Steele Dossier,” which spread various false accusations of links between Trump and Russia.
