There’s always a love-hate relationship with Google for many conservatives, particularly content creators. On one hand, we’re often reliant on the biggest search engine to send traffic to our websites as well as share information about our content, such as movie times and locations. On the other hand, they have a clear and unquestionable lean to the left that makes them take action against conservatives while always claiming it’s just a conspiracy theory.
At NOQ Report, we struggle with it every day. We rely on Google for not only traffic but revenue, and despite attempts to be completely crowdfunded, we’re just not there yet.
Unplanned, the movie that’s drawn so much controversy and attempts by entities favorable to Planned Parenthood to suppress it, got a taste of Google’s ire when they classified the movie as “Propaganda.” First noted by the Daily Signal and confirmed by Fox News, the label is one obviously intended to put a negative spin in the minds of people considering seeing it.
Of course, there are plenty of movies that are much more appropriate to be labeled as propaganda that do not have such a label, such as Vice, Fahrenheit 9/11, and Capitalism: A Love Story.
Unplanned is labeled as propaganda.

Google has since corrected it by removing the label and blaming their automated “Knowledge Graph” for the issue. For some reason, I’m not completely buying that excuse, but I’m sure everyone else will. After all. They’re Google.
Will you help revive the American Conservative Movement?
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 new GiveSendGo. 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
- Truth Based Media
- 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.
