Since Louis CK is in the news again, it's worth restating that he never gave an honest accounting of his sexual misconduct—his initial "apology" and his subsequent statements have been contradicted by the testimony of his victims, and contained elisions and gaps intended to exonerate him.

🙋🏻♀️ independent fact checker here!
Yes there are many freelance fact checkers and editors. But fact checking is not a priority for pubs. We were the first to be fired as the industry imploded
So there’s no desire to hire us, even independently

Sort of a dumb question, but are there independent editors? Independent fact checkers?
And I get that the dollars (nonexistent) get split even more.
I know nothing about journalism other than as a consumer. Just wondering if theres a way to create collectives of independents with skills?

I worry about the emphasis on independent journalism we have right now because:
1) it’s not a sustainable business model to hold up an entire industry
2) they don’t have editors or fact checkers to provide checks and balances on their reporting
3) institutional journalism is still important

It’s been 28 hours since Trump’s last post on Truth Social. I don’t know if this is a record for a weekday in 2025, but I would guess it is.
There’s usually at least some filler content that’s random bullshit he clearly didn’t write, like links to articles about what a great job he’s doing.
