Fake News is a huge problem. It was a problem during the Bush years. It was a bigger problem during the Obama years. Under President Trump, it exploded into an untenable mix of propaganda and gaslighting. Under Joe Biden, it’s so bad that it’s nothing more than a punchline as many Americans turn to alternative sources for their information about what’s happening in the world.
And that’s the point. In a market-driven society that we’re still in, only the market can drive change in how the media reports the news. On today’s episode of The Midnight Sentinel, that’s exactly what talk radio host Brett Winterble offered as the solution.
Look, we here nonstop about little D democracy, right? And big D democracy where everything’s a threat to the democracy. The reality is the market is the most fair mechanism that exists. A free market.
I’m talking to you on my iPhone right now. Now I’m not doing advertise for Apple, but I’m talking to you on an iPhone right now. I’ve got apps all on my phone. I don’t know what the ideological underpinnings are of those app creators. I don’t know what their sexual orientation, race, creed, color, political affiliation. I don’t know what they are, but you know what? I can learn all that just by watching how the news covers a story. We can divine where somebody really stands.
First of all, let’s just acknowledge, nobody is impartial. It’s impossible to be impartial. Someone who has children is going to have favor for one of the kids over the other kid. They may not admit it, but there is a favoritism there. And what we have is 87, 88, 90% of the people in DC are liberal. And what they are is they’re in an echo box.
What we have out here, right, I’m here in Charlotte. You’re broadcasting from where you are. We have the ability to actually talk to the American people and the worldwide audience writ large.
Here’s what we have learned. We learned with the Canadian protests that even their hammer lock on media doesn’t work anymore, right? And that is a different sort of government that has different sort of priorities, which include euthanizing dogs of protesters.
Christian-Driven America-First Precious Metals.
Before markets collapse, the smart play is to move wealth or retirement to precious metals. Contact Genesis Gold now to make it happen smoothly with no hassles from a group driven by fellowship.
Now here’s the deal. You’re not going to get this genie back in the bottle. Rogan was a high watermark. They couldn’t cancel them. They couldn’t get rid of him. And that other famous Canadian — Joe Rogan’s an American — Neil Young came crawling back to Spotify.
So what do we know? The marketplace favors bold ideas, big ideas. Those big ideas come when they’re attached to your freedom and liberty. We have to remember something very important here. This is worth reminding in light of Rogan and in light of these hammer locks that these media companies try to put on us. The most vulnerable and the smallest minority in the world is the individual.
The individual is the smallest minority. Nobody lobbies for the individual, but together millions of individuals took down the Soviet Union, took down the Berlin Wall, took down the great dictators in human history that brought so much misery. That was individual action. What we have as an independent media now that is broken free and despite all the big tech shenanigans and chicanery, they can’t get the genie back in the bottle. See, see what’s going on there. That’s what’s going on.
It’s not through legislation. It’s not through big or little celebrities rallying a few people to speak out. If we’re going to defeat the ugly hydra of fake news, it will take a seismic shift in how we absorb our media.

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!
