No Agenda 1517
The Media is Corrupt. No Way!
First No Agenda Show of "Lucky" 2023
Happy 2023 Producers!
There is not a lot to say about 2022 except that it will not be noted for much. So good riddance. Let’s wrap this year with appreciation for the No Agenda Show and what it brings to your household twice a week, every week. Show your thanks.
The normal donations for tomorrow’s show based on the typical numbers received at the time of the this writing are down by half and hopefully this gets supercharged by the Christmas spirit and the launch into the new year 2023. You have to assume people are snowed in or travelling.
You can make it up with a new “lucky” 2023 random donation of any amount. Click here. Finish off one year and start anew with what looks to be a lucky 7 year. 2+0+2+3=7. Except in China, 7 is most people’s lucky number.
Or simply become the Executive Producer of the News Years show. The show so seldom falls on New Years Day, (has it ever?), this a special “EP” for sure. It also makes you the first Executive Producer of lucky 2023. This helps the show and will pay off for you as a legitimate credit and bullet point on your resume or LinkedIn profile.Click here for that.
No Agenda only exists for you and on your behalf and only with your direct support. It’s quite a phenomenon and your support is appreciated.

Tomorrow's Show
While there are no real plans to do a serious retrospective of 2022 which broadcasts use as filler material, there will be discussion of repeating trends related to the medical establishment which looks more and more like a corrupt and untrustworthy system that needs congressional oversight. But will that even work?
Your best bet is to be overly informed and make your own personal decisions and be leery of corrupted systems which include first and foremost the corporate media which has long since been co-opted by pharmaceutical advertising, bankers, and agenda-driven government authorities. So they are useless.
Listening to recent clips of major TV personalities and supposed financial experts at CNBC fawning all over Sam Bankman-Fried as some sort of JP Morgan, should have made everyone sick. And, of course, nobody was fired or even reprimanded because, “So what? Who cares?”
No Agenda cares. Please support this show today. It’s a good way to end the year and begin the year at the same time.
Your No Agenda show covers and analyzes news without interference. This is because the show is not owned by a large corporation nor beholden to advertisers and is solely supported by you. There are no creepy advertisers or corporate or communist influencers telling us what to cover and how to slant things.
