On Wednesday, CNN’s Don Lemon proved once again how little he knows about anything he discusses on his low-rated primetime program Don Lemon Tonight. Further evidence of this is the fact that he asked two of his guests, Atlantic senior editor Ron Brownstein, and Washington Post columnist Max Boot why the Second Amendment is “sacrosanct” but Roe v. Wade is not.
Lemon first wanted to know why the Supreme Court seems poised to strike down Roe v. Wade despite a CNN poll showing that a “majority of Americans don’t want Roe v. Wade to be overturned.” Brownstein tried explaining to Lemon it’s because “the President nominates and the Senate confirms Supreme Court Justices” and because “both are tilted in the direction of small, rural predominantly white Christian states that Republicans dominate.”
Brownstein repeated the irrelevant fact that “Democrats have won the popular vote in seven of the past eight presidential elections” as if winning the popular vote matters in a system where the President is decided based on the electoral college. Attempting to slime his fellow Americans of the opposing party, he claimed: “the America of 1950 is now in [a] position to write the legal rules for the America of 2050.”
The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
Proving again that he’s unfamiliar with our judicial system, Lemon asked Brownstein in response why the issue of abortion rights “take so much precedent” and why shouldn’t Americans be allowed to get abortions and “if you don’t believe in it, don’t get an abortion.”
Brownstein disregarded the fact Supreme Court Justice Alito’s majority opinion spelled out how overturning Roe v. Wade would not open the door to reversing gay marriage and claimed to know better than an Ivy league […]
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!
