For as long as most of us can remember, complaints about “the media” have been as routine as morning coffee. “The media is biased.” “The media lies.” “The media promotes propaganda.” But we need to have an honest conversation here: what is “the media,” anyway? The answer is straightforward: “the media” is whoever you choose to grant that title to. If you still see the media as a monolithic, untrustworthy institution, it’s time to rethink what that term means.

The truth is, the days of complaining about “the media” are over. If you’re still dissatisfied with what’s out there, it’s only because you’re settling for “their media” and it has become “your media”.

Our Media is Different

At Beartaria Times, we are more than an alternative—we’re the antithesis of what people typically dislike about “the media” they complain about. We’re free from propaganda, vulgarity, and degeneracy. We steer clear of agendas meant to divide or manipulate; instead, we uplift and encourage, focusing on real stories, real experiences, and the values that strengthen us. In other words, we bring you media without the strings, without the hidden motivations, and without the noise.

Our media isn’t perfect, but it’s authentic, honest, and growing. And it’s here for everyone in the community who wants a voice that reflects who they are and what they care about. When you read Beartaria Times, you’re not just consuming “news”—you’re tapping into a shared space that values truth, wisdom, and the incredible things our community accomplishes every day.

You Can Be the Media, Too

And here’s where things get even better: Beartaria Times isn’t just something you consume—it’s something you can contribute to. We’ve opened the door for guest articles and community stories because we believe that real news is what happens within the lives of real people. Got a new business venture? Share it with us. Learned something valuable? Tell us about it. Did your community just pull together to accomplish something remarkable? That’s newsworthy.

This isn’t just our media; it’s your media. It’s a platform built for you to share, celebrate, and connect. So if you’re tired of “their media,” you don’t have to put up with it anymore. Start supporting, reading, and sharing your own. Join us in shaping a media that serves our highest ideals rather than simply criticizing what’s wrong elsewhere.

Correcting the Conversation

From now on, if you hear someone say, “The media is terrible,” it might be worth pointing out: “Maybe your media is terrible. My media is awesome.” Because when you’re part of a community dedicated to truth, integrity, and shared values, you’re part of something that can’t be dismissed or trivialized.

The Beartaria Times is proud to be the media that serves you well. The days of helplessly complaining are over. Welcome to the media revolution, where “the media” is finally what you make of it.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of “Must Be Nice”, the latest comedy special from Owen Benjamin, filmed during the Beartaria Times National Festival and now available for all to enjoy! This event marks a significant accomplishment, not only for Owen but for the entire community that has stood by him.

Owen has faced intense challenges over the years. His refusal to conform to the prevailing entertainment narratives led to numerous cancellations. Online platforms removed him, and live theaters refused to host him simply because of the kind of comedy he performs—honest, raw, and rooted in truth. But instead of shrinking back, Owen doubled down and his audience stood up.

You can’t cancel comedy, as for those that try, they are not just rejecting a comedian from performing, but denying an audience from seeing who they wish.

The cancellation attempts were met by Owen and his audience with the understanding that other peoples platforms and venues are not theirs, which led to the escalation without victim consciousness to build independent platforms and venues.

The community didn’t just offer moral support; they opened up their properties for Owen to perform live, laying the groundwork for something far greater than anyone anticipated. The generosity and unity of his audience led to the funding and development of land specifically for community events and live shows—a place where we can gather, laugh, and celebrate the values we hold dear.

The “Must Be Nice” comedy special represents the culmination of these efforts, demonstrating what can be achieved when a group of like-minded people come together with a vision. The production of this special was taken to a whole new level. With a larger team, high-quality camera rentals, a more advanced sound system, and significant equipment donations—including a massive contribution from Joe Gagan—the special reflects the growth and professionalism of Unbearables Media.

The excitement surrounding “Must Be Nice” is electric. It’s more than just another comedy special—it’s a victory for free expression, for our community, and for the spirit of independence that defines us. The launch on October 11th, marks the beginning of a new era for Owen Benjamin and Unbearables Media, setting a new standard in comedy production and community-driven entertainment.

Thank you to everyone who supported this journey, and congratulations to Owen and the entire Unbearables Media team. We can’t wait to see what the future holds as we continue to build and enjoy a world where we can laugh freely and share what matters most.

Get ready to laugh, Beartarians, because Must Be Nice is here!
