Description

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.

"Both sides suck- this is a game." Spot on, this guy is super smart, I don't care what his GPA was! The media emotionalization is driving the division, algorithms and bots are driving people to hate each other. I'm studying communications, he's seeing through the bs. God bless this man and his team, God bless all y'all...

Shawn, I can’t speak for the older US citizens, but I’m a 57 yr old Canadian woman who paid very little attention to politics. Covid here in Canada changed all that for me. I’m very invested in what’s happening in my country and the world for that matter. I don’t think it’s too late to have older people see the light and realize there’s more to news than what the MSM is feeding us. We just need to find what will bring out the want for the truth. I won’t give up on them and try my best to inform them of other avenues where they can find facts not propaganda. Don’t give up on the elders!

Most wars have been for the wrong reasons. Our politicians, most of them have been creating this mess we are in for decades.
