AP Photo/Patrick Semansky I thought I was done writing stories that include the phrase “January 6th” in them for a while, but this was just too good not to share, and I promise, the inclusion of January 6th is strictly ancillary.
Yesterday evening, an instance of CNN on CNN violence broke out between Mary Katherine Ham and Andrew Kaczynski. The former is a Republican and analyst for the network, representing one of the few intellectually honest people left over there (if not the only one). The latter runs CNN’s K-File , which is an investigative wing that harasses Trump-supporting grandmas and such.
To understand what happened, we first have to start with Ron DeSantis’ comments on January 6th. Part of those included an assertion by the Florida governor that the Congressional baseball shooting, which gravely injured Steve Scalise while others narrowly escaped with their lives, didn’t get much coverage from the mainstream media. That then led to a snarky response from The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman. It was Haberman whom Ham originally responded to. I lived a block from the baseball field. Under 48 hours, the news vans were gone. I was on TV, live from the baseball field where they played the game a day later, after almost being canceled by mass murder, but my topic was “Mike Pence reportedly hired a lawyer.” https://t.co/b5lIakIwIb — Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) January 7, 2022 Kaczynski apparently found Ham’s assertion objectionable. He attempted to “fact-check” her by claiming that she did discuss the shooting on-air. Ham then responded with another round of facts regarding what happened at the time. Hi, Andrew. Yes, this is within 24-48 hrs that this was a story. This segment was based on the galactically stupid Sanford contention that it was *Trump’s rhetoric* that caused it, bc of […]
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!
