About Us
The information wars have begun. Meet the troops.
America is waking up from the nightmare of corporate news. For decades huge companies have abused the trust of their customers. We’re here to capitalize on the reasonable concern over how the profit model creates conflicts of interest in journalism, and turn it into a generalized fear that turns you away from institutional publications—even when (if?) they have strong traditions of integrity. Our goal is an About section more straightforward than the for-profit media machine.
We have entered the post-truth era. That nightmare ends today if you reject a world that doesn’t make sense because information moguls are manipulating you, and instead choose a world that doesn’t make sense on purpose. Albert Camus said “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” Welcome to the absurd.
It will rise to be the new standard by which all others are judged.
