Truth used to be an ecumenical solid. The metering, measuring and defining core of that liturgical integrity used to come from those who ingested events and wrote about them with a disciplined, cold, honest fervor. That group of people - writers, for the most part rather than broadcasters - were respectfully called journalists. They… neutrally and coldly journaled the events of the world so that others could digest, calibrate and then react to those events with their own political biases. But somewhere along the way the process was hijacked.

The goal of this effort is to assist in the recalibration of truth in journalism, hopefully effusing what has become “journalism” and yes, we’ve added the quotes there because today’s writing-about-stuff-that-happened is no longer honest or accurate, as a whole. For a wide range of reasons - most of which we, nor anybody else, really understands - most journalists carry Left and far-Left leaning politics.

 

There was a time when journalism was a respected craft, a discipline a sigma or less away from being a lawyer or a financier or any other non-science flavor of profession. Then things devolved. Blame Russian interference. Blame China. Blame that friendly Nigerian Prince who always seems to need 20 grand to unlock millions. Regardless, young people en masse no longer dream about being truth-tellers. They dream about being influencers. Maybe subtle difference in practice - but vast difference in the repercussions: Politics is downstream from culture – Ben Domenech

I think, in part, this lag-to-voting is a core element of the evaporation and evisceration of Hollywood’s influence on politics. There was a time when the masses voted along with vaunted well-red celebrities (as projected by their managers). The Hollywood of Redford, Newman, and before then, Reagan, Wayne, Stewart, and many others… represented dignity, courage under fire, and doing the right thing. And yes, Spike represented a viewpoint as well.

 

I think that era is over. Celebrity as we knew it, is over. It has become a kind of pejorative catalyst in driving a lucrative clickstream to sell subscriptions to OnlyFans and/or subscriptions to premium cable channels, hair growth formula, vitamins, life insurance, and blue pills for sagging old men.

 

We seek to surface these perceptive truths - to bring to light the great violators of what used to be the respected integrity of real journalists who wrote facts about events, even when the facts didn’t fit their own ideal narrative for how the world worked. They were Right-leaners who sadly had to write about a terrible oil spill that killed many and debunked Republican platforms. And/or they were Left-leaners who sadly had to surface corrupt actions of politicians ‘on the take’. But they wrote about those events with honesty and the integrity you’d expect from Jimmy Stewart in the middle of It’s A Wonderful Life.

 

Somewhere along the way, we began to sing, “...Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio…”

 

We aim to right wrongs that have made our nation, and in fact, the West… worse.
