Fact based, data centric news can still be quite biased through selection of detail, so Im not sure its any more trustworthy than an article. Love the site tho

Love the site though, really well done.
- phreeza 15y agoI agree on both points. One thing that is missing from much mainstream news reporting is linking to/referencing primary data in an accessible fashion, which this site seems to do(except the links are not clickable), so that's a development in the right direction.
- arizerg 15y agosome of our links are clickable on other issues/events pages. we're a two-man team, and we're getting to it. Thanks though!
- rndmize 15y agoThe links being clickable is a CMS issue, and one that's been on the "get to it eventually" list for a while. It's definitely something we intend to have though.
- rndmize 15y agoThanks! Currently, I wouldn't consider us much more trustworthy than any other news source, but this is something we intend to combat with user feedback/corrections. Every fact we list or paragraph of analysis has a small [!] link after it, which brings up a form to send in feedback on the item it's appended to. This is meant to make it as easy as possible for our users to contribute if they see a mistake, or feel something is missing, etc. As far as selection goes, this is something that's hard to get away from; the main reason we have the Minutiae tabs is so we can push information we consider to be less important off the summary tab, but still have it available for those that want more info/details. Other than that, all I can say is that we are extremely interested in presenting things accurately and completely (though with just two of us, we're rather pressed for time currently).
