Truth Revolt began as a collaborative project between David Horowitz and Ben Shapiro.
Kurt Schlichter also contributed to the site, and they published syndicated columnists like Ann Coulter.
Then one day all the major editors and writers left. I had contacted Ben Shapiro, and he agreed to print one of my articles, but he informed me that they couldn't pay us because they were cutting staff.
Major staff changes were taking over in Truth Revolt. They weren't getting the kind of traffic they hoped to bring in. Mark Tapson would take over as the managing editor.
I had hoped for them to start compensating writers, but after two or three meetings with leaders of the website, Tapson said that the website owners were essentially "tapped out."
Later I learned that David Horowitz was pro-gay, refused to stand up to the assault on life and family. I even submitted a mock-up of an editorial from the Washington Post from an Education professor out of Minnesota. Her daughter was black, and she was identifying as a lesbian. She then decided to be transgender.
I hammered how ludicrous this obsession with intersectionality has become in academia, but Truth Revolt wouldn't print it. They actually refused to print a number of articles that I had written dealing with abusive LGBT Bullying.
I quit writing for Truth Revolt and exposed how they were more interesting avoiding difficult subjects on family issues. Culture, civilization depend on strong families, Moms and Dads--not two moms, not two dads, not sexual license which borders into destructive, anti-human anarchy.
Tapson and Horowitz refused to take on the fight. Is it any surprise that this flagship enterprise came crashing down?
Check out the announcement below:
Announcement: TruthRevolt Closing Shop
... to make way for exciting changes to come at the Freedom Center.
3.7.2018
This is to announce that TruthRevolt will be closing up shop as of the end of today, Wednesday, March 7.
Ben Shapiro and David Horowitz created TruthRevolt with a mission to expose the leftist news media and hold them accountable for their hypocrisy and bias. Launched in October 2013, it was not just a media watchdog, but a media bulldog. TruthRevolt sought to help loosen the leftist death grip on the organs of culture: the news media, academia, and entertainment.
As the editor of TruthRevolt for nearly three years, I am proud of the fight we waged and grateful for the support of our readers and supporters. We aren’t giving up that fight, however; I want to emphasize that TruthRevolt is shuttering to enable the David Horowitz Freedom Center to focus on exciting new developments which will give us a more prominent presence and make us an even more formidable foe of the radical left.
Again, thanks to all our readers. For now, stay with us at the Freedom Center by following our flagship site FrontPage Mag, edited by Jamie Glazov, and keep an eye out for big changes in the very near future.
Mark Tapson, editor
The conservative movement will not survive without a strong return to a full embrace of the Gospel and the complete Judeo-Christian ethic.
That includes a rugged, robust fight to defend life and family, including natural marriage. When groups of any stripe cave on that necessary issue, they are pretty much throwing in the towel entirely. The attack on natural marriage and the nuclear family is a Marxist sneak attack destabilizing the entire Western World. It must be confronted.
Kids need a Mom and a Dad, not two Moms or two Dads. It is unthinkable that any society would permit this attack on the next generation and refuse to protect the most vulnerable among us. Truth Revolt was not interesting in fighting for the whole truth. In fact, it was quite revolting that they would downplay the destructive transgender movement and accept gay marriage.
If you are not willing to fight all the way for everything that matters, then there is no point in fighting in the first place.
