There’s a dirty little secret in corporate conservative media that I’ve been attempting to expose for a while. To date, I’ve talked to four editors and reporters for “conservative” news outlets who have told me the same basic story. Sadly, none of them have been willing to go on record, even anonymously, and so all I have is the information I’ve been given without the ability to properly source it.
But here’s the thing. You don’t need a whistleblower to be able to see the truth for yourself. Many in “conservative” media are beholden to the editorial whims of Big Tech tyrants as proxies of Democrats and the globalist elites. These tyrants, especially Google and Facebook, use their influence to force “conservative” news outlets to self-censor on certain topics. Those who are unwilling to do so cannot run the lucrative Google ads that are often the financial backbone for these organizations. Those who are unwilling to do so will not get the massive traffic they receive from Facebook and to some extent Twitter.
They’ve been given a choice: avoid certain topics or get kicked off the teat.
On the latest episode of America First Report, I discussed what I know about this unfortunate phenomenon. I noted that I do not necessarily condemn these companies for two reasons. First, most of them got into using Google for ads and Facebook for traffic long before they were given the ultimatums, and I would hope that they’re doing what they can to ween themselves from the dollars and eyeballs.
Second, it does not behoove me to judge those who are doing what they think is best for their employees. There are families who rely on the revenue generated by these sites. Are they just supposed to shut down or start firing people in order to stay ideologically correct?
There’s a third reason I don’t attack these sites directly (other than Fox News, of course). They are right about 95% of the things they cover. Just because they’re not reporting on the stolen 2020 election, revealing the dangers and the nefarious agenda behind the Covid jabs, or taking a more direct avenue of attack against the Cultural Marxism that’s spreading across our country doesn’t mean these sites are useless. They still fight against abortion, gun control, open borders, Critical Race Theory, and the various other non-taboo topics of interest to American patriots.
It’s easy to see who is beholden to Big Tech and who isn’t. If they’re running Google ads, they’re beholden. Google will not allow ads to be run on my sites, The Liberty Daily, The Gateway Pundit, or any of the other conservative news outlets that are telling the truth about controversial topics.
You can see who’s running Google ads by hovering over the ads on an article and seeing where the click leads before clicking on it. On most browsers, this is found at the bottom left corner. Once you click, you’ll be redirected to the advertiser itself, but if you hover and see “www.googleadservices.com,” then obviously the site is running Google ads.
Some “conservative” sites aren’t running Google ads, but are still playing the game through Facebook. Just like Google, Facebook won’t allow “disinformation” topics. They are a bit more loose than Google which will just shut your site off completely. Facebook is more subtle. They’ll take down or fact-check individual pieces of content. They send warnings over time and suppress visibility of a page that’s sharing what they perceive as “disinformation.”
With Google, we can see who’s playing ball by who’s running their ads. With Facebook, it’s not so simple. A good, truth-telling news site can still do well on Facebook by simply not sharing stories on their page that cover taboo topics. Facebook only hits pages based on what they share. Google indexes the entire website.
The point is, just because a news site does well on Facebook doesn’t necessarily mean they’re beholden to them. They’re just choosing to self-censor certain topics from being shared, but at least they’re still writing the stories and getting the truth out through other means. I’m okay with this, though I don’t practice it myself.
By no means am I trying to “expose” conservative news outlets who are beholden to Big Tech tyrants. It’s still a free country and I’m not going to condemn those who are playing the game as best they can. I just want my readers and listeners to be aware of why the taboo topics are not nearly as widespread in coverage as other “safe” issues.
We need to continue to spread the truth. It’s important to make the distinction between your average conservative news outlet that’s only sharing some of the truth and the alternative media sites who are fearless enough to share all of it.
I still visit sites that I know are compromised by Big Tech because of the topics they cover that aren’t taboo. But let’s not base the importance of stories over how much coverage they’re getting from conservative sites. The Covid jabs, for example, aren’t safe and effective simply because most conservative sites refuse to acknowledge their inefficacy or inherent dangers.
Whenever I post about them, I always get emails or comments saying, “If this was really a problem, ________ or ________ would be talking about it.” No, that’s simply not the case. Just because your favorite site or pundit isn’t discussing it doesn’t mean it’s not an issue. It just means they’ve been warned off from talking about it by the Big Tech tyrants who are holding them to account.
We saw an example of this in 2020 when Newt Gingrich was scolded live on Fox News for talking about George Soros.
Newt Gingrich: "The number one problem in almost all the cities is George Soros-elected, left-wing, antipolice pro-criminal district attorneys…"
Fox hos: "I’m not sure we need to bring George Soros into this."
Newt: "Okay… So, it’s verboten?"

As long as conservative journalists are fighting the good fight, I’m okay with them. It’s just important to know some are fighting harder than others, and many are barely fighting at all.
Bypass Big Tech Censors
Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
