Yeap… It’s how some of my family ended up in Oklahoma. My dad’s side of the family were some of the early founders of the Moravian church in the US. They got kicked out of Georgia for being too friendly with the natives and attempting to sneak slaves away to attend their sermons.

And how much of the market do these networks control? Just because there are non profits available doesn’t negate their claim.
Also, if a journalist writes total bullshit, they lose their job. It’s career suicide. Their articles follow them for their entire career. So they have to be careful.
Depending on what network they are submitting their work to… It’s not like “journalists” on Fox News are being shamed for submitting fake stories.
This is the only reason I own a pair of cut resistant gloves. Makes the mandoline actually a useful and safe kitchen tool.
The Moravian church was kind of radical, I’m not religious but imo it’s the closest thing to actual Christianity we’ve ever gotten. Overseas b there were Moravian church members who would sell themselves into slavery so they could preach to other slaves.
Before some of my family were sent off with the Cherokee on the trail of tears, half of them went up north to Pennsylvania and Ohio and were killed in the Gnadenhutten massacre during the revolutionary war. The survivors fled to Canada and would later be attacked after the battle of the Thames by the US cavalry expedition that killed Tecumseh during the war of 1812.
