The establishment media doesn’t like us. They don’t like us. We defame their stories, counter them, and make their life a lot more difficult. Since time immemorial, they’ve been trying to silence us. Whatever form they take, they will try to silence us or reduce our impact on society.
As RedState’s managing editor Jennifer Van Laar highlighted yesterday, RedState and right-of-center sites like ours are constantly under the highest scrutiny. “Fact-checking” sites like AP and Politifact are constantly breathing down our necks and there are consequences to not appeasing them. As Van Laar highlighted, we don’t tend to cave and this impacts our revenue since getting flags attached to our site, which then triggers a revenue drop.
These rules don’t seem to apply to any mainstream or left-of-center sites. If they did, they’d stop blatantly lying or misrepresenting facts, which they don’t.
Here’s the thing. It’s not about us, it’s about you.
The biggest weakness about the left’s narratives is that they only thrive in a vacuum, which is exactly why they tend to find reasons to punish and silence us. It’s much easier to pass off the idea that there is no border crisis or that Biden is the greatest uniter since the last guy to the people who don’t work in this industry when people who do work here are constantly pointing out the emperor’s total lack of clothing.
They will sell complacency. They want you to think it’s all in hand. They want you sleeping.
You, dear reader, may be a little more political savvy than I am, but not everyone can sit down and watch the politics. Most people get up in the morning, head to work and return home. After spending time with their families, they then relax by doing various things.
And that’s perfectly okay. This type of comfort is American Dream. They only get sporadic news. It is possible for them to see the headlines on a tweet or hear it being said by a celeb. This small-sized news can be used to control the narrative on your mainstream media platforms.
This type of news feed could quickly become indoctrination for those who are not paying close attention. You can see the evidence in how mainstream culture is controlled by leftist tastemakers. It’s why they can completely deny science while calling themselves the party of science. It’s why they can continue to abuse the groups they say they protect without overwhelming blowback. It’s why they can sell the idea that their opponents are pure evil and too many people will just swallow the lie without any question.
The mainstream media had been blaring its monologue for decades until radio arrived and Rush Limbaugh started putting wrenches in gears. He was hated by them and they tried many ways to shut him down. Fox News was born and started introducing new voices. The internet made it possible to create alternative news sites.
We’re gaining ground. We’ve never been louder, and the left has never been more afraid. Their long-held monologue has now turned into a dialogue, and to compensate they’ve begun actively attempting to punish and censor anyone who disagrees.
But an animal is always most vicious when it’s cornered, and that’s what you’re seeing here. These attacks on us aren’t offensive moves, they’re defensive. It’s one more attempt to regain full control, not just of the narrative, but of you.
They get the full power back if they are able to sell you the lies and make the world work for you. We’d very much not like to let that happen, not just as professionals but as people who actually live here and want to be free from the power-hunger would-be tyrants.
We need your help. This isn’t just RedState vs. the media, this is all of us vs. the establishment. We’re not fighting for you, we’re fighting alongside you. Just like it’s not us they want control of but you, it’s not us they’re truly afraid of, it’s you.
That’s why we would really appreciate you joining our VIP program. Their attempts to silence our voices will fail if we have your help. Their efforts to deplatform and break us financially won’t matter. It doesn’t matter what we say, as long as it does not harm those who are the financial voice for the majority. We can say truths they don’t want us to say or introduce ideas they’d rather you not think about and they’ll have no weapon to silence us with.
Right now is the best time and not just because they’ve been after us like never before.
