AP Photo/Phil Sears, File We reported last week on how prominent Ron DeSantis critic Rebekah Jones was once and for all thoroughly discredited courtesy of an exhaustive investigative report done by NRO senior writer Charles C.W. Cooke. The report thoroughly nuked the fake “data scientist’s” most explosive claims and documented how viciously retaliating after rejection was one of Jones’ most notorious hallmarks.
One big thing that should not be forgotten in the aftermath of Jones’ rather dramatic fall from grace is in just how far the mainstream media was willing to go in propping her up. CNN, in particular, was instrumental in elevating her profile, with anchor Chris Cuomo among those taking the lead in amplifying her false claims, abusing his CNN platform to make his big brother and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo look like a magnificent crisis leader in contrast to the popular Florida Governor.
But now that it’s inarguable that Jones is a fraud, some CNNers appear to be trying to memory hole their prior coverage. As Fox News noted yesterday, Respectable Journalist™ Jake Tapper has now taken to tweeting and RTing criticism of Jones (including tweeting out a link to Cooke’s piece) despite his own (unacknowledged) role in lending credence to her claims last year: On Tuesday, the CNN anchor retweeted commentary from local Florida reporter Jay O’Brien. “The thing about the Rebekah Jones saga: there’s no evidence to support what she’s claimed. Simply none and we’ve all looked,” O’Brien tweeted. “But, that won’t stop people on Twitter from taking her at her word. So, this will never truly be over until people just stop paying attention.” Additionally, Tapper retweeted O’Brien’s responses to other Twitter users, stressing that reporters “aren’t on ANY side” and that “all we’ve asked for is hard evidence.” […] [In prior coverage] Tapper did acknowledge complaints made by her “detractors” about her “history with law enforcement.” But the next day, he drew attention to the judge who approved the search warrant and how it was a DeSantis appointee, fueling the narrative that the police visit to her home was politically motivated. Tapper’s apparent […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
