U.S. Media Coverage of Gaza Has Plummeted. We Continue Reporting.
U.S. Media Coverage of Gaza Has Plummeted. We Continue Reporting.Drop Site will continue to expose the truth, investigate war crimes, and demand accountabilityPresident Donald Trump declared “the war in Gaza is over” in October 2025. U.S. news outlets believed him. Gaza coverage has dropped to just 1.5% of all stories—the lowest point since October 2023, according to media watchdog FAIR. Israel’s genocidal assault hasn’t stopped. The “ceasefire” exists only on paper. Israel has violated the agreement over 1,600 times, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office. Routine killings continue with over 600 Palestinians killed in direct attacks—99% of them civilians. Buildings are destroyed. Aid trucks are blocked. Children are freezing to death. Israeli troops remain where they promised to withdraw. And Western media has moved on. We haven’t. We refuse to be complicit. Despite the risks our journalists on the ground face on a daily basis, Drop Site will continue to expose the truth, investigate war crimes, and demand accountability. We have no allegiance to the powerful and no financial ties to special interests. We rely on and answer only to you. But that means we need folks who value our reporting and are able to support us to upgrade to paid subscriptions. Currently, only 3% of our readers have become paid subscribers. That’s not sustainable for the kind of in-depth, dangerous reporting that’s breaking news and influencing policy at the highest levels. For less than $0.25 a day, you can support Drop Site’s journalism that refuses to be silenced. And for the next 48 hours, we’re offering 20% off annual subscriptions. Support Drop Site - Save 20% Today The Story Continues—Even When Others Stop Telling ItThe pattern is clear: major media gave Gaza sporadic attention when the images were impossible to ignore and the death toll was climbing by the thousands. Even then, they parroted Israeli talking points and sanitized war crimes. Now, as Israel methodically continues its genocidal campaign under the cover of a “ceasefire,” they’ve abandoned the story almost entirely. While major media outlets ignore the facts and uncritically amplify Israeli military claims without verification, Drop Site remains committed to rigorous, independent journalism. We regularly publish on the ground reporting from Palestinian journalists in Gaza and the West Bank. Every day, these journalists risk their lives to bring you stories you won’t see anywhere else, knowing that reader-funded journalism is their only lifeline to reach the world. This work is expensive, dangerous, and more necessary than ever. Every paid subscription helps us amplify independent journalists on the ground and ensure their stories reach global audiences. Will you help us continue this vital work with an annual subscription today? The Reality of Reader-Funded JournalismHere’s the reality: Drop Site News has over 660,000 subscribers, but only 16,000 are paid subscribers. We will never have a paywall for our reporting and remain committed to keeping our journalism free and accessible to everyone. We’re offering investigations and accountability journalism you won’t find anywhere else. But this work is expensive, and we depend entirely on readers like you—no corporate backing, no special interests Our annual paid subscriptions come out to less than $7 per month. That’s less than $0.25 a day. And 100% of your support goes directly to funding our investigations. Your paid subscription allows us to:
With increased subscriber support, we will be able to expand our investigative capacity and launch deeper investigations into those who commit and enable atrocities worldwide. Become an Annual Supporter - 20% Off Support the Reporting That Challenges PowerThe systematic elimination of independent voices and the complicity of corporate media make outlets like Drop Site News more vital than ever. We cannot let powerful actors succeed in silencing those who would expose their crimes. It can feel overwhelming to ask for support when the news cycle is so dire and so relentless—but we know that our work has never been more critical. We believe our reader-funded model is the only way to do the work properly, free from influence or agenda, but it comes at the necessary cost of appeals like these. Yes, I'll Support Drop Site - 20% Off Thank you for being part of our community. With your support, we can continue to be the fearless, independent voice you count on. Please consider supporting us today by becoming a paid subscriber. In solidarity, Jeremy, Sharif, and the Drop Site team P.S. Not the subscription type?

Tough road ahead
We're pretty sure you didn't wake up this morning, jump out of bed and say "Today is the day I am going to split a donation between Jon Ossoff's U.S. Senate campaign and Heartland Patriots!"
(If you did, great! Here's the link and thank you in advance: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/hp-ossoff-email-20260217?refcode=kmyers209.shamrock5@blogger.com)
Otherwise, please give us a second to explain why we're asking you to chip in and why particularly right now.
Jon won his last election by building the largest on-the-ground movement that Georgia had ever seen.
Doing it again — and going even bigger — is not going to be easy. It is going to take sustained effort from now through Election Day. And we have to get to work right away.
Unfortunately, a lot of people think maybe it's too early to give. Or they'll wait until later. We get that.
But the truth is early money to a campaign is more important than a donation at any other time.
Your donation now will help us build the strong foundation we need to win, and ensure we're ready for anything that comes our way on this campaign, from Donald Trump, our MAGA opponents, or anyone else. So what do you say?
If you have stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation to Jon Ossoff and Heartland Patriots will process instantly:
Thank you for everything you're doing to reelect Jon and stop MAGA in its tracks.
