Sitting down for an interview on American Thought Leaders, Sharyl threw light on the REAL origin story of the ‘fake news’ narrative, and very beginning of the origin of internet fact-checkers.
In her book, ‘Slanted’, she traces the origins of the use of the phrase ‘Fake News’, and a push for ‘independent third-party fact-checking’ back to 2016, and some Democrat-aligned non-profit called ‘First Draft’. First Draft traces back to Google. Then to Alphabet corp. Then to Eric Schmidt, the company’s CEO at the time.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. 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!
