The Daily Caller’s Senior White House correspondent Shelby Talcott joined CNN’s Brian Stelter and author Garrett M. Graff to discuss the media’s coverage of the January 6 hearings Sunday.
Though the conversation was focused on Fox News and whether the media outlet is lying about the capitol riots and events of January 6, Talcott noted that “I can’t speak for Fox News specifically, but being from a conservative leaning news outlet, I would say the angle from conservative media, at least where I work at the Daily Caller, is that working class voters in these swing states are struggling with a whole slew of problems.”
Talcott went on to list examples of these problems as, “high inflation, gas prices, grocery bills, getting baby formula, so how do these hearings help with those issues?” Neither Stelter nor Graff had a response to Talcott’s question, but Graff did argue that Americans can be concerned about those issues and the capitol riots.
“So it’s not that conservative media is trying to run cover for Trump, it’s just that with everything going on with America today, it’s hard for the media — in conservative media’s view — to sit there and try to force a big chunk of the country to care about this issue more than issues that they’re actually experiencing and being affected by day-to-day,” Talcott concluded in a clip shared on Twitter.
Consumer prices reached the highest rates in four decades on Friday, with the Consumer Price Index climbing 8.6% in the last year. When polled, a majority of Americans from all backgrounds note that the economy is the biggest issue they’re facing.
Stelter asked if Graff could “buy” Talcott’s response, to which he said, “I don’t.” (RELATED: Pelosi Says Biden Polls Poorly Because Americans Simply Don’t Know How Good He’s Been) Our very own […]

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 new GiveSendGo. 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
- Truth Based Media
- 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.
