Our Story

Thought Digest was founded to combat the underrepresentation of important stories within the mainstream media and to help mediate the polarization of it. We believe there needs to be reform in our media landscape, instead of telling our viewers what to think, we provide the information as it is in a balanced manner and allow the viewer to determine their own opinion. 

​

We believe in impartiality and honest reporting abiding by the fairness doctrine, rather than pushing subjective narratives, we provide as many alternative viewpoints to allow our viewers to make up their own mind with the information provided.

@CheeryTomato6196, AU

"Love your work, love your interview technique. Ask a question and give them all the time in the world to answer without you agreeing or disagreeing."

@mattw5665, AU

"The sort of interview you see rarely, if at all, in the mainstream media who only want to interview well-known politicians from the major parties. This deserves more views."

@paulthomas3654, AU

"Well done Peter (& interviewer!)"

@markotts, AU

"Hard to find quality Aussie made content that focuses on Australian Issues, subbed for sure"
