In a Tuesday appearance on One America News Network’s Tipping Point with Kara McKinney, independent journalist Savanah Hernandez discussed her recent piece for Human Events, which details the multiple instances in which she has been deplatformed by Twitter for her journalism.
During her OANN appearance, Hernandez thanked host Kara McKinney for “platforming,” her adding “It really is only shows like yours where I can get my reporting out now, so thank you.”
Hernandez attributes the popularity of her reporting to the fact that “Americans want the truth,” and contends that her content is exactly the type of truth that Big Tech players like Twitter wish to strike from the record. “Americans want to know what’s going on on the streets of the country,” Hernandez said. “Americans want to know what their fellow man who is living through Joe Biden’s economy actually feels about it. They want to know the truth about how the gas prices are affecting their fellow man.”
“That’s the only thing I’m providing, right? It’s not something amazing or spectacular. I’m simply giving a voice to my fellow man,” Hernandez said. “And for that, I’ve been deleted from history, unfortunately.”
She later clarified that characterization, explaining that Twitter’s choice to delete her reporting amounts to erasure of the truth from the public narrative. She offered her reporting on the college athlete who spoke out against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, and of the 2020 riots as examples.
“It was this young NCAA athlete who was deleted from the space because she didn’t say the proper thing politically. It is the fact that back in 2020, when I was reporting on BLM burning down and looting Black-owned businesses in downtown Austin, or Antifa stopping a Black father from him going to work and him getting out of his vehicle and pleading with these […]
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!
