Fake News Media was never supposed to exist. The cable channels, networks, newspapers, and numerous online outlets, with their fancy newsrooms and slick, articulate talking heads were supposed to provide all the news the world would ever need. But somewhere along the way, the noble goal of informing citizens was supplanted by the shortsighted drive for ratings and profits, and it all went downhill from there.
Over time, these outlets have produced an ever-decreasing quantity of signal alongside an ever-increasing quantity of noise. It is now nearly impossible to find reliable sources of clear, concise, high-quality information, and to make matters worse, we are increasingly confronted with the scourge of deliberately falsified content, i.e. news that is actually, verifiably fake, and created for the purpose of spreading false or misleading information.
This spiraling shitstorm of uninformed opinions, unconfirmed rumors, and unhinged “analysis” has created a vacuum where the news used to be. Fake News Media intends to fill that hole with quality content, and we will endeavor to lead the charge back to a place where helpful information and thoughtful analysis are once again the norm rather than the exception.
You deserve a better media experience, and we’re going to give it to you.
