Conservative show host Mark Levin has been critical of Big Tech companies like Facebook and Twitter for years. He’s ramped up his attacks of late for obvious reasons. But when Twitter suspended conservative commentator David Limbaugh, it may have been the last straw for Levin.
Twitter has suspended my buddy David Limbaugh’s account for 12 hours by lying about him violating their rules. This is completely out of control

Many of us have grown accustomed to social media, so much so that we rely on it for many things. Some use it for news. Others for communication. The uses are plentiful, but Twitter and Facebook have demonstrated an unwillingness to embrace the truth or to allow free speech on their so-called “platforms.”
But there are alternatives. While some have noted that these alternatives are still having problems with their interfaces and that their popularity is minimal, one has risen to be the best “little” platform. Parler has garnered much attention over the last year. It has come in bursts, and we’re in the middle of such a burst right now.
Levin has noticed and is calling for his Twitter and Facebook followers to go with him there.
2. Parler is a wonderful alternative and is growing, and we need you there ASAP. It believes in truly open speech. Thank you!https://t.co/3RnjMoknfj

He’s not alone. Other prominent conservatives have been calling for an exodus, particularly from Twitter. Facebook is a bit different as many people connect with friends and family on Facebook, but Twitter is generally for broadcasting to a wider audience than simply close acquaintances. Even Larry the Cable Guy is getting sick of Twitter’s shenanigans.
I lost 2400 followers today I’m sure for talking about election integrity so I just signed up for Parler. If ya come over follow me there. Same address. @GitRDoneLarry Obviously I love all my followers here and won’t abandon you but It’s just frustrating when Twitter drops people

It’s good that prominent conservatives like Mark Levin are pushing his followers to Parler, but there’s only one man who could make it truly explode. If President Trump would make the move, even as a mirror to Twitter, it could spark the exodus many seek.
COVID-19 may take down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the so-called “surge” or “2nd-wave” that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $11,500 to stay afloat for the rest of 2020, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
Election year or not, coronavirus lockdowns or not, anarchic riots or not, the need for truthful journalism endures. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.
