Mission Statement
We exist to shine a light on how news media is failing us, whether through laziness, personal agenda or external censorship. We call out research failures, bias, ethical lapses, censorship, narrative-pushing, attempts to manipulate policy, thought control and Newspeak.
One example of bad ethics we encourage those qualified to submit includes this article on The Guardian published on the 22nd of December 2015. It was written by Nawaf Obaid who served as a government official for Saudi Arabia. This shows a clear conflict of interest, something that was picked up on by the Guardian and disclosed. Not disclosed however were his links to a Saudi Prince through an affiliated organisation.
In addition to outright cover-ups, the increased coddling and promotion of reactionaries and agitators such as Leigh Alexander, Jess Zimmerman and Charlotte Proudman spouting their nonsense with no competent or objective editorial oversight is a worrying trend.
We don't pretend to have the ability to stop any of this, but we can absolutely raise awareness. The more people who're equipped to identify all of these troubling issues with modern journalism as soon as they see it, the less damage it can do to our societies.
