Fake News Antidote: A List of the Best Conservative News Sites on the Web

In the midst of the fake news so often and so regularly spewed out by
left-wing activists disguised as journalists, I’m often asked what
conservative news sites I frequent. 

I’ve also noticed that this question has become more poignant since
Matt Drudge’s bizarre turn to the left. This is because historically the
Drudge Report has been the number one conservative news
aggregate website that was instrumental in getting the word out on
Donald Trump back in 2016.

In fact, after Trump successfully won the election, there was a news
piece entitled “How Matt Drudge Won the 2016 Election”, which
underscored the influence of the alternative media on world events.
The piece noted that we are, in fact, transitioning from an old media
context that largely lectures its constituents on news events and
interpretations to a new network society wherein the constituents are
active participants in what constitutes a news event and its variant
interpretations. In the new cyber-news sphere, we get to choose what
news media we trust most; the old days of three major network news
organizations that held a collective monopoly over news and
information are over!

Drudge was at one time the king of the


new media, the online news aggregate
without equal. And he told a very
different narrative from the mainstream
media, one that noticed a mass populist
rebellion against the elitist aristocratic
globalist world order. Drudge seems to
come from a far more libertarian or
perhaps even somewhat anarchistic
wing of that rebellion, but he certainly
spearheaded it in 2016, and saw
his monthly views hit upwards of a
hundred million visits getting over a
billion annually.

But then something seemed to happen to Drudge.

He began to turn on Trump.His negative coverage really surfaced


during the whole Robert Mueller Russian investigation fiasco. Each
and every day, Drudge featured headlines of Trump’s impending
doom, and when you clicked on the link, you were taken to stories
from The New York Times, CNN, the Washington Post, or even the
ultra-liberal MSNBC! 

And all of sudden, you realized that Drudge was actually pushing a
far-left spin on the news, which of course was thoroughly anti-
Trump!

Now, I need not say, but this has been very, very disappointing to
say the least. The loss of Drudge is a significant loss no question,
and we really don’t know what turned him. But as things stand, it is
clear that Drudge has dropped any sense of support and loyalty to
the nationalist populist cause.And so his turncoat coverage has not
gone unnoticed, and it has not gone unpunished. According to the
Washington Times, the Drudge Report has seen a 15 percent drop
in viewership between July and October of 2019: he’s gone from
96 million monthly views to 77 million.*

And I think we can expect that viewership to continue to drop, if


not at least for the reason of the rise of Drudge alternatives, and
there are a number of them, and they’re ALL seeing their monthly
views surge!

Here’s some web sources and stats: Whatfinger News, which links to
unabashedly conservative sites, has seen their viewership grow by an
astonishing 40 percent in the same timeframe. The Liberty Daily,
which is seeking to position itself as over against the fledgling
Drudge Report, has seen its viewership grow by an even more awing
72 percent in the same timeframe! Another example is the Rantingly,
a pro-Trump news aggregate site, that’s seen their viewership grow
by a whopping 316 percent year over year. NewsAmmo and Gab
Trends are the two youngest of the emerging rightwing alternatives
to Drudge, they also saw enormous growth over the last several
months.

So what’s going on here?

I actually take issue with the Washington Times’ explanation. They


quoted a media professor who claimed that we’re living in
increasingly partisan times, and that news consumers what to read
news that already confirms their beliefs, and that accounts for why so
many are leaving Drudge and embracing these new pro-Trump
alternatives.

But isn’t it interesting that this professor failed to mention the fake
news coverage that literally DEFINED the whole Russian-Collusion
hoax? Drudge was on the frontlines predicting that Trump would be
indicted. There was virtually no difference between Drudge’s
coverage of the Russian collusion hoax and Rachel Maddow’s
coverage!

I find it rather interesting that these scholars so quickly forget how


pathetically fake the news coverage actually was throughout the
two-year Mueller investigation.

I don’t share such a condescending view here. Instead I think the


whole mirage or illusion that the mainstream media was giving us this
unbiased coverage – that journalists simply reported reality
objectively irrespective of their own personal preconceptions – has
collapsed, it’s imploded. NO ONE believes in a scientifically objective
media anymore. We all know that however news is presented, it’s
always going to be presented form a particular worldview held by the
presenters.

News events are only newsworthy based on some kind of


assessment and perspective, which of course raises the question:
Whose perspective? Whose assessment? As much as CNN wants to
represent that it simply reports reality, media scholars recognize that
CNN inevitably reports a ‘reconstruction’ of reality which inescapably
involves the worldview of the reconstructionists. 

We can see it in the very language that they use. Are the people
crossing the southern border ‘undocumented workers’ or ‘illegal
immigrants’? Are the rebels in whatever country ‘freedom fighters’ or
‘terrorists’? The simple fact of the matter is that more and more
populations are recognizing that whatever news they get is coming
from a worldview, and they would rather have news presented from a
worldview that corresponds with their own.

I don’t think this is a matter of merely wanting to hear that which


confirms their belief. I think it’s a matter of recognizing that all news
comes from a worldview, and they would rather consume news that
comes from a worldview that they trust rather than one they know to
be a lie, such as leftwing liberalism.

So, unfortunately for Drudge, I think he


can expect to see his viewership shrink.
Whether he likes it or not, the nationalist
populist worldview is rising all over the
world, and with it, a new media culture
that’s only now just beginning!

So, without further ado, here’s a list of my


favorite conservative website (in no
particular order)!

Breitbart Breitbart is my go-to site. Founded by the late Andrew


Breitbart, the site offers perhaps the most thoroughgoing
nationalist populist perspective on the world.
The Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft has put together a great site
dedicated to exposing the “wickedness of the left.” I check this
site several times a day for headlines.
Whatfinger.com One of the best news aggregate alternatives to
DrudgeReport, Whatfinger offers a great overview of headlines
from the conservative web universe.
The Liberty Daily The Liberty Daily is an amazing news aggregate
site that bills itself explicitly as a conservative alternative to
Drudge.

The Daily Caller Originally founded by Tucker Carlson, The Daily


Caller is very much like a conservative alternative to the
Huffington Post.

The Western Journal The Western Journal is a conservative,


libertarian, pro-family site that often has very good articles.

Washington Examiner An excellent online newspaper for


conservatives.

Liberty Nation Good complement to Whatfinger.com.

Rantingly A conservative alternative news aggregate to Drudge.

Gab Trends A news aggregation site based on trends on Gab.com


and the web browser Dissenter.
News Ammo Another very good conservative news aggregator.
Disrn.com Good sight for a summary of conservative articles.
Voice of Europe An excellent resource for the rise of nationalist
populism throughout Europe.
Info Wars Despite being de-platformed, Alex Jones still provides
some very impressive news coverage.
Instapundit Instapundit is an awesome aggregate website run by
Glenn Reynolds, professor of law at the University of Tennessee.
Zero Hedge A good site for both financial and conservative news
and opinion.

The Epoch Times An excellent nationalist and traditionalist


newspaper. 
FoxNews.com While Fox News has been disappointing of late,
featuring a number of never-Trumper pundits, their website still
remains a valuable go-to resource for conservatives. 

Matthew Goodwin’s Twitter @GoodwinMJ Matthew Goodwin is a


political scholar who specializes in the rise of nationalist populism
throughout Europe. He’s an excellent resource for very informative
and enriching articles as well as spot on analysis.

The College Fix A great resource not just on the cultural Marxist
insanity infesting college campuses, but also on the growing
number of colleges closing their doors for good.

The Lid Nice collection of headlines of interest for conservatives,


often with humorous images.

The Babylon Bee This site is just fun! If you’re looking for a good
laugh at all things liberal and politically correct, you can’t do better
than the Babylon Bee.

Now What’s Next?

Did you know that we are seeing the beginnings of a new


conservative age rising throughout the world?

I know; if you are like me, I found myself scoffing at the very
notion several years back. I mean, take a look around you, and all
we see is cultural rot! A new conservative age? Yeah, right!

But I have to tell you, that pessimism all changed for


me over a decade ago when I encountered loads of
research arguing that very thing! And now I have
dedicated myself to helping others on that journey
to overcome their cynicism about the future!

So ask yourself: If you’re a conservative cynical


about the future, are you open to changing your
mindset? If so, then you need to get your hands on
my book The Return of Christendom. It gives you
an easy-to-follow sample of the massive amount
of research I came across that’s a proven path
to overcome conservative cynicism. And I want
you to have this book!

That’s why we’re offering it to you at an INSANE


discount. But this is a limited time offer, so don’t
