Google, Facebook, and Twitter are often the top three traffic sources for conservative news sites. This is ironic because these three Big Tech companies are well known to despise conservatives, but in their efforts to “play fair” and maintain their appearance as unbiased “platforms” they have tolerated most conservatives for years. Things have changed, but they need to keep some token rightwing sites in the mix. So, they’re reaching out. Quietly.
The conversations surround basic ground rules regarding reporting on certain topics. The ones that are forbidden are the theft of the 2020 presidential election, certain criticisms of Black Lives Matter, and most importantly the big one: Vaccine hesitancy. There were also two people who were listed as topics of which to “tread carefully,” which I found exceedingly odd. Apparently, George Soros and Bill Gates are considered “conspiracy fodder” and conservative news outlets should avoid spreading “false” rumors about them, according to the Big Tech overlords. This one was a head-scratcher for me until I remembered how one particular Big Tech site stopped allowing our stories last year shortly after we ran a couple of pieces critical of Gates.
A whistleblower from one of the biggest conservative news sites first told me about the conversations. I started hitting up every contact at other conservative outlets I had. We reached out to publishers, editors, senior writers, and at least one major conservative media sponsor asking them all to confirm the story, on or off the record. Oddly, few replied, which in itself is very telling. If they hadn’t heard of anything, they’d certainly want to learn more since it’s a pretty big story. Journalists aren’t known to not inquire when news like this is presented to them.
Important Note: For the sake of protecting my sources, I must remain ambiguous about which Big Tech companies are reaching out as well as when the conversations happened. It would not behoove my sources’ anonymity to publish a story the day-of their conversation and note which company they spoke with. Considering how relatively small the conservative media space is, it wouldn’t take Holmesian deductive reasoning […]

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!
