Pardon The Disruption: Steve Case On Entrepreneurs – 2015 SXSW Music, Film + Interactive Festival CNN commentator and Washington Post syndicated columnist Catherine Rampell claimed Sunday that Fox News had exaggerated stories about a “senile president” and Critical Race Theory (CRT) “brainwashing kids” — among other topics — or worse, had “invented” those stories “out of whole cloth.”
Rampell joined anchor Brian Stelter on his Sunday morning media show, “ Reliable Sources ,” and she claimed that stories like those were targeted to a specific audience and designed to spike the blood pressure over issues that weren’t “actually mortal threats.”
Stelter began the segment with a scrolling list of Fox News chyrons, saying that if one were simply to watch the coverage on that network, they might get the impression that America had “gone to hell,” and that the quality of life for most people was just short of unbearable.
“America as an ‘apocalyptic hellscape,’ that was one of the actual banners,” Stelter continued, arguing that Fox News seemed intent on painting President Joe Biden’s administration as “a clown car driving off a cliff.”
CNN’s Oliver Darcy described Fox News’ coverage as an “Instagram filter,” arguing that the story might be true to start out with but the presentation is what makes things appear distorted.
“Catherine, when we talk about polls showing most Americans think the country is on the wrong track, most Americans are filled with doom and gloom, we need to link it back to the media coverage,” Stelter continued.
“Obviously they’re getting that messaging from the media they consume. That set of headlines that you just scrolled through, I could feel my blood pressure rising just reading those. That’s the goal, right? The goal of this kind of coverage is to freak people out, to cause them to live in fear,” Rampell […]
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!
