Guess a journalist can’t even do some investigative work to see what he’s referring to 🤷🏽‍♂️

It's an opinion piece. Basically, a glorified blog post.

Currently I work with a team of fact checkers to produce the content. Any journalist or concerned citizen is welcome to submit content if they like, as long as they always back it with reviewable fact checking. This concept of "open source" fact checking though anyone is free to use on their own sites, and I'd happily help journalists who would like to adopt it.

So you're just Snopes? I thought the journalists would create and own their own pages, but you're the gatekeeper of what is "acceptable" or not?

I don't know you or your "team of fact checkers". How do I know you're not a front for the Russian or Chinese disinformation campaigns? How do I know you're not accepting donations or dollars from a source that might bias you? If someone broke a story about your employer and it might put you out of a job, how would you handle the publication of that?

Anything more is being ignored or given a generic answer like "stay tuned!"

"We're changing the world!"
"How are you doing that?"
"By being different! Stay tuned! ❤"

The name is not even trademarked.

Because the USPTO denied it. So they officially registered under Black Lives Matter Global Network.

Right now, you, me, anyone here on Reddit can go out and establish our own BLM group.

I'm 43 and when I went to work for Food Lion as a bag boy at 15, I had to sit through a hour long video about ignoring anyone who talks to me about unionizing and why it's bad. It was heavily, heavily implied in the video you'd be fired for speaking with them.

It's sad to see it's still extremely common.
