• #248 Jon Delaney - Who's Protecting Jeffrey Epstein's Secrets?

  Jon Delaney is the founder and leader of Real News No Bullshit (RNNBS), an independent news platform launched in January 2021 to provide unbiased, agenda-free coverage of domestic and global events. Fed up with mainstream media's perceived biases, Delaney created RNNBS as a digital outlet on Instagram and other platforms, focusing on straightforward reporting without sensationalism. The platform has grown rapidly, offering news summaries, and video content on topics like politics, international affairs, and current events. Delaney avoids the spotlight and his work emphasizes transparency and truth-seeking in journalism. As the primary operator, he oversees content creation and has expanded RNNBS to include backups and related channels for resilience against platform restrictions. Delaney advocates for independent media, press freedom, and empowering audiences to form their own opinions based on facts, often critiquing established news sources for "bullshit" narratives.
