When the White House singles out an independent newsroom by name — calling their journalism “abhorrent” and “America Last” behavior — that's not a critique. That's a tell.
When the White House singles out an independent newsroom by name — calling their journalism “abhorrent” and “America Last” behavior — that’s not a critique. That’s a tell.
Our friends at Drop Site News have been delivering the kind of fearless, on-the-ground reporting from Iran that no legacy outlet is providing. And the powerful have noticed. While CNN gives unchallenged airtime to the same warmongers who sold us Iraq and CBS’ Bari Weiss tweets fire emojis at pro-war clips and falsely suggests Iran has nuclear weapons, Drop Site has had reporters on the ground filing dispatches from bombed schools, hospitals, and neighborhoods across Iran — verifying strikes that pro-war propagandists are trying to deny.
Drop Site has extended an exclusive offer to Lever readers: a 20% discount on a paid subscription. You’ll be directly funding their reporters, translators, and the independent investigative journalism the establishment media has abandoned.

Here’s what that journalism looks like: In just the past several weeks, Drop Site correspondents reported from Minab, where a missile struck a girls’ elementary school and killed 180 children. They were among the first to verify the attack on the ground. They reported from Tehran on a double-tap bombing that killed over 20 people at a popular square during Ramadan. They’ve consistently obtained exclusive information from senior Iranian officials that has contradicted Trump administration claims.
Like The Lever, Drop Site is funded by readers. No corporate owners, no oligarch backers, no advertisers shaping editorial decisions. That independence is why they can publish what others won’t — and why the White House felt threatened enough to attack them by name.
Drop Site’s journalism now tops 22 million monthly views. Their reporting is setting the conversation and being cited by outlets and journalists worldwide.
**We trust Drop Site**. We know you will, too.
This is not a paid endorsement but rather an opportunity to support an organization we believe in. The stronger our community is, the better we can fight back against the rising tide of authoritarianism.
