All these so called "mainstream media" outlets, **Washington Post**, **New York Times**, **The New Yorker**, ... all exploding with deeply important, *holier than thou*, exclusive new details, famous talking heads, headlines, then putting every "Jane Doe" article behind a paywall and not sharing any documents, evidence, content, material, or names so that the reader must first pay and then accept (what they paid for) their version and interpretation of the material, really pisses me off. "The New York Times has reviewed a police report given to the Cornell Police"... "Washington Post has reviewed the Title IX investigation documents...." yet not one of these fucking sources provides the documents for the public to make up their own minds and inturpretation of the documents. These outlets create 2 or 3 versions of the same article, test them each for social media paid advertisement, tease an hour or two of non-paywall, then when they have the statistics for which is performing best, they put the article behind a paywall and pay to promote the best performing version. This is why we designed *WIJDR* to be fully transparent, preserve and make available every document, meme, audio, video, content we can find or scrape or that is added via the comments. We are not going to gatekeep information while 1) demanding that you take our word for it, and 2) charge you to even read the text of an article or topic... The mainstream media are a bunch of bitches.
