When then-candidate Donald Trump first started talking about the “fake news” media, I’ll admit I was skeptical. I knew mainstream media has been left-leaning for at least a couple of decades, but I never considered the possibility they would extend their bias into full-blown lies and propaganda. Unfortunately, I was absolutely incorrect. Even before he was the President of the United States and the subject of every attack possible from the media, he knew the reality (or lack of reality) the fake news media represented.
The Steele Dossier has been discredited numerous times over the last three years with the culmination of the debunking coming at the hands of Inspector General Michael Horowitz and the report on his investigation into how the FBI handled their Russia investigation 2016 and early 2017. In the report, the IG dropped the bombshell that not only was the dossier used as the basis for their FISA warrants, but they were aware it was inaccurate when they were using it. They even checked in with the subsources who contributed much of the information and they acknowledged there was nothing of substance. Yet, the FBI pretended like it was fully corroborated and the anti-Trump media echoed the same lies for three years.
That is, they echoed the lies until now. Suddenly, mentions of the dossier have disappeared from mainstream media reports. They’re pretending like it doesn’t exist and never existed in their Orwellian spin on the truth. Thankfully, we have videos like the one above that clearly demonstrates in just over two minutes how deranged the media has been in defending this ridiculous dossier.
Much of this can be blamed on their unwillingness to accept the possibility that they were lied to about how bad President Trump really is. They were told to hate him and to participate in bringing him down, and they bought into that notion because it matched their progressive worldview. But it’s the duty of journalists to seek the truth first even if that truth doesn’t match the narrative they’ve been putting out. Journalists have an extremely high degree of influence on our world. They need to get the stories right.4
“The FBI would not have just taken a dossier to the FISA court and used that as their predicate for their surveillance. They had to corroborate it themselves. That’s how they operate.” – Alisyn Camerota, New Day CNN
One of our missions as a news outlet is to always provide the truth, even if it’s ugly. We are clearly a conservative-focused outlet and we do not claim to be unbiased, but there’s a difference between expressing bias openly and pretending to be purely factual. We hold to the truth above all other considerations. We rely on our readers to participate by contributing to our crowdfunded site. Without your help, we are a quiet voice in a very loud media room. Thankfully, patriots continue to step up and we’re grateful for that.
Democrats in office have an incentive to hate President Trump and Democratic voters can root against him, but journalists have no excuse for their Trump Derangement Syndrome. They’re supposed to seek the truth even if it displeases them.
We are currently forming the American Conservative Movement. If you are interested in learning more, we will be sending out information in a few weeks.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We just launched a new GiveSendGo page. We also have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. 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!
