(America First Report)—For those who still believe Fox News is a good alternative to leftist corporate media, I’ll remind you that they absolutely despise Donald Trump and the tens of millions of Americans who support him. The latest piece of evidence (not that more is needed) highlighting this fact is a headline that appeared on their homepage Sunday morning…
It’s a ludicrous headline for a silly story that doesn’t even attempt to prove its point. In the world of modern American journalism, the headline is often the only piece of information readers will see. They don’t dig into the stories. They often never even click on them. The message (aka propaganda) Fox News wants delivered to the American people is all in the headline.
In this case, they want Republicans to believe Trump’s front-runner status for the Republican nomination for president is in jeopardy. That’s like reporting on Elon Musk dropping a quarter and claiming that his status as a billionaire is in jeopardy as a result. Trump’s comments about Hezbollah being smart enough to take advantage of the Biden-Harris regime was not inaccurate, even out of context. In context, it was spot on.
Then, there’s the comment he made about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu taking credit for the assassination of Iranian terrorist leader Qasem Soleimani. It’s true. Netanyahu decided not to participate in the operation, then took credit for “helping” make it happen after it was successful.
But here’s the important part. Very few Americans noticed Trump said anything about these things and those who did notice didn’t care. By no means is Trump’s front-runner status in jeopardy, but Fox News desperately wants people to think it is. They just can’t handle the truth.
Sound off about this on The Liberty Daily Substack.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
