Alain Jocard, Pool via AP Labels are extremely important to the left. Labels they love, like “white privilege,” “systemic racism,” “glass ceiling,” and “fair share.” On the other hand, there are labels they disdain, like “socialist,” “gun-grabber,” “wealth redistribution,” “recession” (when their guy is responsible for it), and now, “ monkeypox .”
Show of hands: Who didn’t see that coming? If you’re among those who didn’t, let’s catch you up.
As my colleague Alex Parker reported in mid-June, the World Health Organization announced it was going to rename monkeypox due to the “discriminatory and stigmatizing” nature of the virus itself. The “prevailing perception,” lamented the WHO, “is that [the monkeypox virus] is endemic in people in some African countries.” It is. But let’s let that go, for a bit. Two cases of monkeypox have been reported in the United States. And there’s a small outbreak in England, Portugal, and Spain. Here’s what to know. https://t.co/JYp0YRWoWG — NPR (@NPR) May 18, 2022 It gets worse. Via Fox News: The prevailing perception in the international media and scientific literature is that MPXV is endemic to people in some African countries. However, it is well established that nearly all MPXV outbreaks in Africa prior to the 2022 outbreak, have been the result of spillover from animals to humans, and only rarely have there been reports of sustained human-to-human transmissions. According to the CDC, scientists first found monkeypox during two outbreaks of a pox-like disease in monkeys at a research facility in Denmark in 1958. The first human case was found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1970. Human-to-human transmission of the virus occurs primarily through direct contact with infected people or surfaces that are contaminated. In addition, as reported by CNBC on Wednesday, the WHO recommends that gay and bisexual men limit […]
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!
