Has The Blaze Ceased Suppressing?
Recent Blaze (and Daily Wire) Reporting That Might Signal Very Good News
This is not a proper Suppressor Report, whose parameters I recently laid out. Ideally, I will eventually do one on the important alternative conservative media platform headed by Glenn Beck, The Blaze. However, given its now newspaper-like roll of constant stories, and the frankly chaotic state of its available archives, that report will be a good deal of work when, if ever, I get around to it.
I did do some preliminary research on the site’s publications this year, however, and found a pretty clear pattern of the platform’s suppressing the Covid-vax-harms story during the September 2024-through-March 2025 window. Given my own time-restraints, and the poorly-organized state of their archives once you seek to look back before September 2024, I put my investigation on hold. Perhaps The Blaze did better prior to that period than I know, and I should also say that when I stopped, there were still a few stories which might have counted as non-Suppressionist ones which I had not yet skimmed.
In any case, today, I have good news!
The Blaze has reported on two recent landmark Covid-vax dissident events!!! (Yes, it a sad reflection on the last few years that that merits exclamation points and boldface.)
This Wednesday, Senator Johnson held another of his hearings on the Covid-vax harms, one touted by The Vigilant Fox as the moment when the “‘safe and effective’” narrative collapsed on camera.” (For a quick yet properly fulsome understanding of the hearing, VF remains your best source.)
And The Blaze ran a story on it! “Biden admin covered up potentially deadly COVID vaccine side effects for months: Senate report.”
Moreover, on May 16th, there was a public debut of an important new documentary about the Covid-vax harms, Follow the Silenced—go watch it for free right now, everyone!—and with the help of one Sara Gonzales, The Blaze reported on that also! Here’s Sara mentioning it in the midst of her report on an important Texas bill that removes vaccine liability shields.
And more good news, in reading the Andrew Chapados story at The Blaze, I realized that their top competitor conservative website, The Daily Wire, was also reporting on the Johnson hearing and its findings.
Why is this happening now?
Do the conservative insiders sense that the long-held-back Reckoning is about to come? That Trump and Kennedy really are going lift the lid off the Covid-vax-harms story this summer? Are these the signs of conservative-leader preparation for the Reckoning that I’ve been looking for, and until now, in vain?
Chime in and let me know what you think.
Three final notes:
First, kudos to those at The Blaze and at the Daily Wire who got this reporting onto these pages. It looks like there are several persons in the “BlazeTV” department who are pushing things forward. Kudos also to Senator Johnson and his staff for finally getting some traction here.
Second, to the editors and leaders of these outlets, please, keep on going! Having not yet been able to do full Suppressor Report investigations on your 2022-to-the-present publishing, I cannot pronounce with 100% confidence that your outlets have been guilty of Suppression of the Covid-vax harms story up to this point. I.e., that under your leadership, your outlets betrayed elementary principles of conservatism and liberal democracy, and of Biblical religion (see point 5 here) to boot. But I am pretty sure that is the case, such that you have a lot of past sins to start making up for. If you agree,1 the research page attached to the website for Follow the Silenced, can help you see where to send your reporters and pundits next.
Third, to the same, while a lot of new reporting on your platforms will be most welcome, and a continual cause for celebration, it will still not really suffice, for you do need to come clean on your past sins.
That is, if you’ve really made a turn here, you need to say that, and to formally apologize to your readership, subscribers, and donors. This apology can contain some guilt-mitigating explanations for why you waited so long to cover the story, but it must contain some kind of serious admission of the serious wrongs you’ve committed. It must also contain an explicit statement about whether you were or were not pressured by top figures in donor-world, in Pharma, in government, in GOP leadership, or in the Trump camp. If the sin was all your own, own up to it, and clear-away the fogs of suspicion. But if you were nudged or pushed into it by other powerful persons or institutions, you owe it to us to name those names. Real repentance requires actions; requires making amends. What I am laying out here is the very least you must do if the American people are to regard you as having actually repented.
Update: I have since learned that Glenn Beck is not the current CEO of Blaze Media, as I originally indicated in one sentence, and the caption below. Gemini AI indicates that “as of October 2022, the CEO of Blaze Media is Tyler Cardon, and the president is Gaston Mooney.” Blaze Media’s “masthead” doesn’t tell you that, but indicates that old Claremont Institute hand Matthew Peterson is the editor-in-chief, a fact which, in terms of the Suppression, could be a bad sign. Similar leadership change at the Daily Wire, where the present editor-in-chief is John Bickley, with Ben Shapiro named an emeritus editor.
And if you don’t agree, misters Beck Peterson and Shapiro Bickley, send me all the evidence that your outlets were doing some reporting on and mentioning of the Covid vax-harms story circa January 2022-April 2025, and I will publish a retraction.
