I don’t agree with everything TGP puts out. But you have to admit that they are getting stories out there that otherwise wouldn’t get heard.

For instance, they came up with the taped phone call from Ray Epps to the FBI which resulted in the FBI taking him off their “wanted” list. Epps claimed he was listening to the Trump speech instead of at the Capitol orchestrating the removal of the barriers so that innocent rally-goers wouldn’t know it was supposed to be closed off. And other lies. Where else was that reported?

They’ve done quite a bit of amplifying Julie Kelly’s reports about what Judge Cannon’s de-redaction orders have revealed. There are very few conservative sites that actually report only the stories that they themselves “break”. Without many sites amplifying the reporting we’d never hear a lot of important things.

If you see untruths claimed as facts in TGP or any other place, you should call them out.

Your “concern” that “our side” looks “like nutjobs” is the language we heard a lot of about 4 years ago, before most of the “nutjob claims” were then proven true. Worrying about people thinking we are “nutjobs” sounds a lot like the leftists’ game plan to get people to shy away from stories they didn’t like. It would be better to argue whether or not the claims are supported by evidence, rather than argue that leftists might think we are “nutjobs”. After all, that is what matters, right?

Thank you.

Gateway Pundit adds significantly more equity to our cause than they detract from us.

I agree with your entire post.

They said the same thing about WorldNetDaily in the early days of the worldwide web.

But WND fought for White House press accreditation for alternative news sources and won, and then published a multi-part exposé of the Gore family in Tennessee in 2000 that cost Gore the state, and therefore, the election.
