CNN’s Don Lemon was completely incapable of airing truth and facts on his own program; but during Tuesday’s handoff with Prime Time host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo, he was demanding that social media companies like Facebook regulate peoples’ opinions because they might not “based in fact” according to him. He also wanted them to regulate what’s “true” and to show him where his critics lived. Meanwhile, Cuomo was calling for social media to upend a cornerstone of the internet and out their users.
After going at Facebook over their internal research showing how their service can be harmful to teens and questioning how their algorithm works (plus, once again suggesting Fox News didn’t report the truth ), Cuomo decried how Lemon was using the word “regulation” because it would “trigger” people to be resistant.
“ This isn’t about restricting your rights. It’s about making sure that people do what they do right ,” he proclaimed. Lemon wasn’t comfortable with that notion and suggested that “ What is put on your platform, at the very least, should be true. Let’s start there. ”
But Cuomo pushed back with the obvious point that opinions didn’t fall into that flawed framework for regulation. Lemon’s solution was to regulate those too: CUOMO: What if it’s an opinion? LEMON: And then we go — it should be true . CUOMO: An opinion is not always true. LEMON: You can have opinions based in fact. Okay? So, at the very least, it should be true. And it should be based in some sort of fact. Beyond that — let’s start at that base level, that baseline right there. And then we can go on with the rest of it. Anyone with any form of sense understands that this is a problem because the liberals who run social media platforms can’t be trusted to even allow the truth. Last fall, for instance, Twitter aggressively tried to censor reporting and conversations regarding the Hunter Biden’s laptop scandal just as the liberal media falsely claimed it was “Russian disinformation.” Meanwhile, the story was 100 percent true and was confirmed by Politico just […]

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.
