1. Negative transgender community-centered articles — uptick, why?
There’s a significant amount of money behind anti-trans agendas, and we’ve seen a huge increase in the publication of anti-trans media coverage. The thing is, not everyone understands what “infotainment” means or why it originated.
The term originated because coverage on certain television channels that called themselves news stations was not actually reporting the facts but rather a blending of information and entertainment.
If you’re tuning into infotainment channels for your news daily, you’ve been manipulated for years.
You are not just being fed media to shift your opinions towards negative thoughts regarding transgender individuals subconsciously.
It makes sense if there’s a group of nefarious people who don’t want the heat on them in the media to start a smear campaign to deflect accountability for their own questionable actions. Before you believe anything about transgender people from an infotainment website, I’d encourage you to speak directly with one of us; we’re smarter than you’ve been led to believe. In fact, that’s why you’ll rarely see a transgender man asked to speak on any infotainment channels as it pertains to discussing positive aspects of our community and life in general.
The underestimation of transgender intelligence one day will be studied; until then, follow along here because I’m gonna keep it moving, ok?
2. Positive beauty and body image wellness articles — downtick, why?
Lots of Top-Tier 1 publications are seemingly only presently writing about box color, hair loss, and trying to encourage people to go gray; that ties into fascism, a decline in creative individualistic beauty content production, distance from self-expression, and supports the agenda of conformity of the masses. You’ll notice source requests now declining for cosmetologists, as many of the articles are based on angles that are encouraging citizens to avoid seeing their hairstylists regularly. Wonder why that is? Look into the venture capital companies that own these publications and follow the money people; it’s not rocket science.
3. Violence-focused articles — uptick, why?
One of the first things US children have their under-developed brains exposed to is cartoons, and the frequency is consistent. I think about how often, as an elder-millennial child, I was raised with the TV on watching violent cartoons.
In the cartoons of my childhood, I remember being exposed to the constant threat of injury and/or death, with many cartoons reframed as entertainment.
When you start saying it out loud as an adult, how are you not now asking yourself why that level of violence exposure to children was ever started and why it has not only continued but grown substantially compared to the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s?
4. United States War articles — uptick, why?
A war that did not need to happen, created specifically to deflect the world population from pursuing accountability regarding the following:
5. The Trumpstein articles — downtick, why?
Well, it is probably by design, as if the United States’ public’s media focus has been purposefully shifted away from holding a 34-time convicted felon and their criminal accomplices accountable.
You see, you don’t actually have to be a publicist to see through this level of media manipulation, hypocrisy, and injustice.
You just need to keep your ears and eyes open, and when you see something, start speaking up about how:
“it’s really, really fucking weird that the media is seemingly being led in a direction to consistently destabilize and desensitize the population of the United States of America.”

A Call to Action to My Fellow American Publicists
Can I get at least a repost from other publicists, or are you all just gonna keep being silent about all this nonsense because you’re cashing conservative checks? I’m as serious as a heart attack right now.
I ask because I don’t take dirty money.
I don’t align myself with MAGA clients.
I cannot be silent when we have an absolute idiot in a position of power that affects us all, who has access to the nuclear codes.
If you’re not using everything in your power as a publicist to speak out against fascism in media and share the voices of those who do, you are truly a coward and contributing to this nation’s downfall.
If you’ve ever gotten loud for a client, you certainly can get loud for your own damn wellbeing and for the future of this country and for everyone who doesn’t identify as a white cis-het religious-extremist Republican man.
I’m a gay transgender publicist and activist — one thing I’ll never be is a fucking coward.
