(AP Photo/Eric Risberg, File) We’ve seen companies going all-in on the Democratic talking points trying to attack election reform laws in places like Georgia.
They want to play “woke” as their reasoning without being held responsible for supporting false Democratic talking points against such laws.
We’re seeing this more and more. Companies used to do all they could to avoid politics, but now they are going all-in with pushing politics, while at the same time having all kinds of problems with their own actions.
But they’re now being held to account for their hypocrisy in a series of ads being put out Consumers’ Research, a consumer advocacy group, as Townhall reports.
There was Nike, who fully embraced Colin Kapernick despite his anti-police stance, but as Consumers’ Research observes, has been accused of using slave labor in China. Why is @Nike constantly political? To give them cover while they exploit foreign labor in communist China. We’re putting them on notice: https://t.co/L3M3MCYMyk pic.twitter.com/SPbRZiNtUF — Consumers’ Research (@ConsumersFirst) May 18, 2021 The group says American Airlines is attacking Texas’ voter ID law despite passengers being required to show ID in order to be able to fly. Why is @AmericanAir appeasing radical politicians? To distract from their CEO’s $10M+ payday, despite laying off thousands of workers & receiving a multi-billion-dollar bailout from the taxpayers the same year. We’re putting them on notice: https://t.co/L3M3MCYMyk pic.twitter.com/p73M42fRZO — Consumers’ Research (@ConsumersFirst) May 18, 2021 They hit Coca-Cola on accusations of forced labor. On top of that, they hit obesity and allegedly putting money into “misinformation campaigns.” Why is @CocaColaCo attacking Georgia’s voting law? To distract from the fact that their products are poisoning America’s youth and worsening the obesity epidemic. We’re putting them on notice: https://t.co/L3M3MCYMyk pic.twitter.com/gSYeexWMk5 — Consumers’ Research (@ConsumersFirst) May 18, 2021 “America Airlines shrunk legroom for passengers and laid off thousands of employees during the COVID pandemic while receiving billions in taxpayer bailouts. Coca-Cola and Nike have both been exploiting foreign, potentially forced, labor in China while American workers suffer. It is time these corporate giants were called to task. We are giving consumers a voice. […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
