Conservatives and journalists were quick to criticize NPR’s new “disinformation reporting team” on Saturday as many pointed to the outlet’s initial dismissal of the Hunter Biden laptop story and more.
NPR’s Nancy Barnes, SVP of News and Editorial Director, and Terence Samuel, VP and Executive Editor, announced in a note to their newsroom staff that they were launching a “disinformation reporting team.”
The New York Post’s Jon Levine, along with several others, pointed to NPR’s dismissal of the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020. In a statement, Samuel said that they didn’t want to waste NPR readers’ time on stories that were “pure distractions.”
“We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not real stories, and we don’t want ot waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions,” he said. The House Judiciary GOP also pointed to NPR’s dismissal of the Hunter Biden story in response to the news.
Federalist CEO and co-founder Sean Davis said that NPR’s “entire organization is a disinformation team.”
Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway also responded to the news, saying that NPR has been “little other than a disinformation team for many years.”
Many others also contended that the outlet’s “disinformation team” has been “up and running for years.” WAPO COLUMNIST RIPS MEDIA DISMISSAL OF HUNTER BIDEN: WE AREN’T TRUSTED BECAUSE WE AREN’T ENTIRELY TRUSTWORTHY
Deputy Digital Director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee Mike Hahn suggested the outlet conduct an “internal review” first.Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., also slammed the announcement, saying that their first target “needs to be itself” pointing to the Hunter Biden story. Boebert helped launch an effort to take down the Department of Homeland Security’s new Disinformation Governance Board, which the department has put on pause after many raised free speech concerns. Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., also commented […]
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 Giving Fuel. 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
- 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.
