We Don't Do Teams.
We Do Receipts.
Distortion Daily is a DIY political news board run out of Dallas, Texas, by one broke college student with a laptop and a grudge against being lied to. Here's the whole deal, in plain language.
What this is
Every story gets the same autopsy: what happened, what each side claims, what the evidence supports, where the framing is doing the lying — and then the part nobody else prints: who benefits. Follow the incentives and the politics explains itself.
We swing left and right alike, but never for balance-sheet reasons. If only one side earned the jab this week, only one side gets jabbed. Manufacturing a matching attack for "fairness" is just lying with extra steps. Most political coverage asks you to pick a team. We ask you to check your wallet.
Punk patriotism
This board looks like a Xeroxed flyer because it is one, spiritually. The whole country was founded by people who read the ruling power's claims, checked the receipts, and said "nah." We punch up — at power, at institutions, at the people cashing the checks — never down at ordinary people trying to get through the week. Nobody gets mocked here for running installed software: beliefs put in before they could consent. The installers are fair game.
No flag-burning, no edgelord cosplay. Just the loud, rude American tradition of demanding better from your own country because you actually believe in it — and being furious when the people running it treat you like a mark.
Who runs this
One independent editor in Dallas. No investors, no party, no nonprofit with a donor list, no advertisers with opinions. Research is AI-assisted; every word is human-approved before it publishes. If a claim is in here, a person signed their name to it.
Corrections policy
We will get things wrong. When we do, the correction goes on the front page, loud, with the original error quoted — not buried at the bottom of the article at 2 a.m. Burying a correction is lying twice. If you spot an error, send it and watch how fast we wear it.
How the money works
Reader donations and clearly-marked ad slots. Ads are labeled; coverage is never for sale. Autopsies are never sponsored — a sponsor who wants editorial input can go buy a billboard. Sponsorship inquiries get the same answer as everybody else: the receipts decide. Full breakdown on the support page.
