One of the most frustrating things about “fact-checkers” is how they leap on conservative rhetoric against Democrats as “false” or “missing context,” but give Democrats a pass to say the wildest, nastiest things about conservatives.
For example, PolitiFact pounced on then-Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., as a “Pants on Fire” liar for calling his opponent, Democrat Jon Ossoff, a “socialist” in 2020. It gave Donald Trump a “Pants on Fire” rating for calling Ossoff and his fellow Georgia Democrat, Raphael Warnock, “radical” and “the most extreme, far-left candidates in the history of our country.”
But President Joe Biden can go to Atlanta and suggest that anyone who opposes the Democrats’ “voting rights” bill has taken the side of George Wallace, Bull Connor, and Jefferson Davis, and … crickets.
Sometimes, the exaggerations aren’t character assassination. On the Jan. 6 Capitol riot anniversary, Vice President Kamala Harris compared 1/6 to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. Fact-checkers said nothing … except Snopes.com threw a “Mostly False” at conservative radio host Todd Starnes for saying Harris said 1/6 was “worse” than 9/11. Matthew Dowd actually said that in 2021—and the fact-checkers yawned.
Here’s a brief rundown of the top fact-checkers on Biden’s Atlanta speech: PolitiFact? Nothing. FactCheck.org? Nothing. AP Fact Check? Nothing. Reuters? Nothing. CNN’s Daniel Dale team? Nothing. Snopes? Nothing. Lead Stories? Nothing.
Lead Stories did offer a UFO check this month, that “Biden, Harris Did NOT Visit Area 51 By Plane On January 8, 2022.”
The exception to this depressing rule is Washington Post “Fact Checker” head Glenn Kessler. He did not throw “Pinocchios” at Biden’s Bull Connor garbage. But he did apply the maximum “Four Pinocchios” rating to another passage in the Atlanta speech, when Biden claimed he was so “damn old” he’d been arrested for civil rights protesting.
Kessler pointed out that Biden has a history of claiming […]
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.
