Here is the result in plain text:
Soon after the recent contentious Oval Office meeting between President Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, Senator Adam Schiff went on camera to offer his assessment. “I was horrified and sickened,” Mr. Schiff, a California Democrat, said. “This is Donald Trump caring about nothing of American values,” he later added.
More than 2.2 million people watched Mr. Schiff. But he wasn’t talking on MSNBC or on CNN. Instead, he was appearing on the YouTube channel of the MeidasTouch Network, an upstart online media company known for its relentless critiques of Mr. Trump, delivered in a blizzard of bare-bones, outrage-heavy videos, clips, podcasts and social media posts.
MeidasTouch is a leader among the numerous digital-first outlets that have been rapidly reshaping the progressive media landscape since Mr. Trump took office. Tapping into agita among progressives about the new administration’s policies, they are fast becoming power brokers in Democratic politics and — party faithful hope — finally replicating the influential media ecosystem that Republicans have built over the past decade.
