Discern Report is the fastest growing America First news aggregator in the nation.
It’s all doom and gloom. Hospitals are at capacity. Morgues are too full to accept any more dead people. Families are in disarray over massive COVID-19 deaths. Those are the narratives promoted in a recent Associated Press story that Drudge Report chose to amplify as their top story today.
The problem is, none of this is real. Yes, we averaged just over 1200 coronavirus-related deaths per day in the United States in November. But hospitals are not truly at capacity. Reports on the ground have shown no panic other than from politicians and mainstream media. Morgues are as full as they normally are at this time of year because death rates go up, often due to flu and pneumonia. But in 2020, there are essentially zero flu deaths and very few pneumonia deaths. Why? Because everyone is being classified as a COVID-19 victim. As Jordan Schachtel noted on Twitter:
Lead story on Drudge is maximum panic and terror, but if you read the story, there are no actual examples of morgues and hospitals overflowing. It's just health officials talking about how they are preparing for the worst. No indications they will actually need these resources. pic.twitter.com/t3cwwUKXRG

We’ve grown accustomed to Drudge Report being the epitome of fake news since just after the 2016 election and we’re well-aware of the fearmongering done by mainstream media, but the real question we should be asking is where critical thinking has gone in America. It’s missing. Perhaps it was never there, but reliance on a less dishonest mainstream media of the past gave the illusion that it was present. Either way, the truth is a far cry from what’s being reported and as a result, the sentiment from Joe Blow on the street is just as ignorant.
We prefer The Liberty Daily, Citizen Free Press, Conservative Playlist, Revolver, Populist Press, and Press California as our news aggregators of choice.
In the article, they hammered Thanksgiving celebrations as the reason to expect “dark times” in the next couple of weeks. This is, of course, narrative jamming in an effort to keep people terrified through the Christmas round of the holiday season. Conspicuously, there was no mention of Black Friday shoppers jamming stores, “peaceful protesters” rioting in the streets, or post-election celebrations for Joe Biden as potential culprits for the “spike” in COVID-19 cases. No, it was all about those evil people who had turkey with family. From the article:
Nearly 37,000 Americans died of COVID-19 in November, the most in any month since the dark early days of the pandemic, engulfing families in grief, filling newspaper obituary pages and testing the capacity of morgues, funeral homes and hospitals.
Amid the resurgence, states have begun reopening field hospitals to handle an influx of patients that is pushing health care systems — and their workers — to the breaking point. Hospitals are bringing in mobile morgues. And funerals are being livestreamed or performed as drive-by affairs.
Health officials fear the crisis will be even worse in coming weeks, after many Americans ignored pleas to stay home over Thanksgiving and avoid people who don’t live with them.
“I have no doubt that we’re going to see a climbing death toll … and that’s a horrific and tragic place to be,” said Josh Michaud, associate director of global health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation. “It’s going to be a very dark couple of weeks.”
Any death is tragic. I’m not one who dismisses COVID-19 as a common cold. But after looking at the numbers, including the conspicuous statistic wiped by the CDC that the overall death rate in the United States has not gone up in a year with a so-called pandemic, I do not see a reason to social distance, wear a mask, avoid family gatherings, or lock down the nation. All four of those have demonstrable negative effects that do include death. COVID-19 has a 99.5% accepted recovery rate (though it’s actually much higher in a practical sense) for anyone other than the elderly.

Between mainstream media’s adherence to COVID-19 conspiracy theories and Drudge Report echoing it with their diminishing audience, millions of Americans are believing today that death is around the corner. It’s not. Wake up.
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.
American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
