Welcome to this new website. We’re glad you’re here. This endeavor started out as an experiment spawned from our sister site, Conservative Playlist. We had always liked the old Drudge Report style of a simple news aggregator with direct links to a wide variety of sources. But the rise of sites like Populist Press and Citizen Free Press showed that there’s also an appetite for the “snippet and link” model in which a portion of articles is displayed in a post and then a link takes readers to the full story at the source if they want to read more.
The rise of the “conservative purge” on social media made something clear. Conservatives weren’t just being taken out of social media but also their communities as well. What PP and CFP demonstrated was that communities could be built around particular news stories; their comment threads on the snippets they posted were often more robust than the comments at the sources themselves.
Nevertheless, we always preferred the direct link model. So, we surmised, why not try both? We had hoped that a survey of CP readers would tell us the right direction, but that failed miserably. After 541 replies, 265 preferred snippets, 189 liked direct links, and 87 had no preference. It wasn’t exactly an overwhelmingly clear direction, so the decision was made to bring in some help and run two sites concurrently. That’s how uncanceled news was born. Here, we’re just posting direct links to the stories with no opportunity for community but a greater ease for users to read the full stories. At Conservative Playlist, the community can grow but the news requires two clicks to get to it.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
