There is no forgiveness from some on the left. It doesn’t matter how many decades or tens of thousands of articles a publication contributes to liberal causes and the overall progressive agenda. If they have a single moment of clarity and fairness, they’re evil and no longer deserve support from the leftist elites.
That’s the scenario surrounding Hollywood snowflake Debra Messing. The Will and Grace star, who is known for being to the left of most leftists in Hollywood, took great offense to the posting of a single article:
Ben Shapiro, a Provocative ‘Gladiator,’ Battles to Win Young Conservatives
Mr. Shapiro, conservative thinker, entertainer, trash talker and destroyer of weak arguments, has been called the voice of the conservative millennial movement. He represents the tastes of an emerging political class: If Rush Limbaugh is someone your dad listens to on his car radio, Mr. Shapiro, 33, a graduate of Harvard Law School, is the cool kid’s philosopher, dissecting arguments with a lawyer’s skill and references to Aristotle. He exists in places that young people inhabit — podcasts, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. His podcast, The Ben Shapiro Show, is downloaded 10 million times every month. Seventy percent of his audience is under the age of 40.
The frailty of liberalism isn’t universal, despite claims by many right-wing pundits. However, it’s easy to assume they’re sensibilities are a bit fragile when they post Tweets like these in response to the article:
this is why Trump is president

Messing retweeted the sentiment with a message of her own:
And why I cancelled my subscription to @nytimes https://t.co/gRsnwM9T0w

If you want to be part of the progressives’ team, you cannot even hint that there’s any sense at all to conservative thought. You can’t highlight a conservative’s success. You can’t tell their story in any way that’s not denigrating. These are the rules. Break them at your own risk.

LOL: Hollywood Actress Cancels NYT Subscription Over One Article
Okay—whether this is true or not—and I’m saying that because of all the liberals who vowed to move out of the country if Trump won and didn’t—how soft are you? One article forces you to cancel the whole show; are you joking? We all know The Times is (and will continue to remain) a liberal publication. One profile of a conservative commentator does not change that. If liberals wonder why so many people think they’re soft, insular, and well—insufferable, look no further than the folks who cancel subscriptions because of one article with whom they have disagreements with.
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.

Progressiveism is a CULT!!! In this case its Good Practicing Jew vs. Bad Pagan Jew.
Debra Messing WHO?
If she is the face of Times’ subscribers than the paper is truly dead.
Saul Alinsky would be proud.
I thought it was well known that this rag has been well done for a long time. They’ve always been a liberal hangout of sorts but they always feigned non bias until the past couple years.Now they have dropped all pretense.
