Talk:MeidasTouch

Name

"the group name and slogan come from their mother and father, combining their father's last name, Meiselas, and their mother's maiden name, Golden, while alluding to the mythological Greek king Midas known for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold."

The source article says nothing more than that, and there must be a better source explaining such a tortured portmanteau:

Mei[sal]as --> Mei as --> Mei[Golden]as --> Mei[Gol]d[en]as --> Mei d as --> Meidas.

apart from the idea of turning everything touched to gold is antithetical to the agreeable but destructive original motivation of the elimination of one of America's greatest scoundrels.JohndanR (talk) 18:06, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

NPOV

I'm a little concerned about the NPOV here. Meidas Network is quite extensive and often runs different videos on the same subjects by different commentators. Raw statistics are all well and good but this is across a whole network, rather than a single channel. MT (and others) are challenging the corporate media and yet are also corporate media with precisely the same biases seen on other left-leaning networks. I am a fairly hard lefty so this isn't me whining about Trump. Ben (the only lawyer) of the three brothers was recently rolled out as a top US legal expert (with Michael Popock) but he only has around 10 years of experience. When challenged they changed the description but never apologised. Not a good look but very common I fear. 92.41.127.108 (talk) 17:41, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

What I’d like to add if I were allowed

The Meidas Touch was awarded Webby (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webby_Awards) Podcast of the Year in April 2025. The award notice described the podcast as “a defining voice in political media, blending sharp analysis, cultural awareness, and a fierce dedication to democratic values.” The statement continued: “With bold commentary and unfiltered conversations, the show has reshaped how political storytelling thrives in the digital era.” (https://winners.webbyawards.com/2025/specialachievement/447/the-meidastouch-podcast)

This is relevant to the Reception section, is it not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kindlerva (talk • contribs) 01:44, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Yes, this should be added to the page in the reception section along with the statement from the Webby Awards. 50.74.224.131 (talk) 04:10, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
