Statement of Principles
We operate under two premises:
-
The corporate media functions to influence you rather than inform you.
-
The corporate media operates on a profit motive, not a public service motive.
We have created this project as a response to the failure of our corporate media to fulfill its obligation to utilize the public airwaves to serve the public interest. Operating from an unabashedly liberal/progressive perspective, we seek to serve primarily as a news aggregator to help empower individuals by informing individuals.
You can be biased without resorting to misinformation. We are biased against corruption. We are biased against misinformation. We are biased in favor of equality and progress. While some "news" channels seek to counter a perceived liberal bias in the media by offering known political operatives as independent political analysts, we seek to inform you by giving you the back story on the sound bytes and talking points put forth in the guise of "news". We are biased in favor of honesty and truth. The only bias that should be tolerated in our news media.
