Who We Are Not
There is no agenda, hidden or expressed, behind our site. There is no overseer of this online news discussion to reject or disagree with your well-stated and validly-supported opinion. However, just because we do not enforce a particular direction upon our contributors, it does not mean that we do not operate in a professional manner. This is not a blog or a political site. This is not Moveon.org™, Youtube.com™, or Myspace.com™. This is a news site based on fact and journalistic principles.
How We Can All Work Together
American journalism has never been more agile or adept. It is a task that requires constant attention. Among difficult human endeavors the profession of journalism is an activity that seems by its very nature to have a higher probability of failure. Everything journalist are called upon to do is inherently, inescapably difficult: to reveal what is hidden, most often deliberately by people who mean us harm; to ascertain trends and look into the future; to push the bounds of science and technology; to collect what otherwise would be uncollectible and therefore unknowable; to test the limits of human ingenuity and courage; and to estimate what it all means. These are not trifling challenges. The compelling, usually damning statements about leaders, operations, and programs—and about US presidents that are untrue. Many of these assertions even undermine our lives.
Our collective efforts are sure to have a significant impact. We should take it upon ourselves to investigate the facts and report them while upholding the ethical codes of journalism. Our social, economic, and political well-being may depend on our immediate action. We expect to reach a new group of people who will appreciate a venue in which they can express the truth as well as our user friendly format.
