We don\u2019t know. But apparently promoting one may well kill a business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe began investing in Facebook four months before we launched our first book,\u201d she noted. \u201cWe invested most of our marketing budget on the platform, and now our budget (the money we\u2019ve already spent), as well as our assets and data are gone. Marketing-wise we are back in square one, financially it\u2019s even more challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not in politics; we are in the business of creating beautiful stories about great people that will entertain children and give them life lessons,\u201d she continued. \u201cTo cancel children\u2019s books because they celebrate American values that 90% of Americans believe in isn\u2019t even anti-conservative bias, it\u2019s anti-American. Pure madness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a small but noisy group of responders to our ads who didn\u2019t like the fact we published books about Ronald Reagan, Thomas Sowell and Amy Coney Barret; people we called Heroes of Liberty,\u201d Mandel stated. \u201cThey made nasty comments, especially about Reagan, and about us for publishing these books and even shared their desire to burn them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very likely those same people reported to Facebook that our content is disturbing, because it doesn\u2019t sit well with their radical worldview,\u201d she noted. \u201cThese are the same people who riot and take down statues of our founding fathers in the real world, and they want to strip us of our ability to honor our Heroes in the digital sphere and in children\u2019s books. \u2026 Our problem is that it seems that Facebook went with the mob judgment call and not with common sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mandel concluded, \u201cWe learned our lesson, and won\u2019t risk building our business relying on the whims of Big Tech again\u2026We are very happy with our initial decision to create a subscription model that will allow us to create a more meaningful one-on-one connection with families that can\u2019t be disrupted by a censor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/new-childrens-book-series-aims-to-combat-woke-indoctrination-in-schools\/\">reported<\/a> in November of Heroes of Liberty:<\/p>\n<p><em>While the initial release will feature Reagan, Sowell, and Coney Barrett, starting in 2022, a new book will be released each month featuring a different \u201cAmerican hero.\u201d Upcoming books will feature John Wayne, Margaret Thatcher, Mark Twain, Douglas MacArthur, Alexander Hamilton, Rush Limbaugh, and others.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>According to the publisher, the \u201cgoal is to provide parents who are concerned with the increasingly leftist indoctrination and wokeness that have taken over our educational institutions with a wholesome patriotic alternative to read with their children.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mandel said in a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new conservative book publisher offering biographies of luminaries such as president Ronald Reagan, famed economist Thomas Sowell and Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, has been stifled by Facebook, which \u201cpermanently disabled\u201d the ads account of the neophyte publisher, claiming Heroes of Liberty, which launched on November 14, violated Facebook\u2019s rules against \u201cLow Quality &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":60,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1183306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1183306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/60"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1183306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1183306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1183306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1183306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1183306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
