For a shoestring operation like ours, that’s great. But how did we get here?

In June of 2014, Charles C. Johnson started ; it was part taunt, part social experiment. The mainstream media wasn’t doing its job, and he wondered whether the Internet community could do it better.

The answer was yes. Since then, GotNews has grown into a news organization with a full-time editorial staff, and hundreds of volunteer researchers, reporters, and sources — and the mainstream media hates us for it.

Over the last two years, with zero help from the entire mainstream, we have:

•  UVA rape hoax artist Jackie Coakley and exposed the embarassing “gang rape�? debacle, with our research  against Rolling Stonemagazine.
• Repeatedly exposed #BlackLivesMatter as the liars, criminals, and terrorists that they are, such as         and  — always hours ahead of the slow and lying mainstream media.
•  the long-rumored audio tapes of Senator John McCain betraying his country as a captive of the communist North Vietnamese — the tapes, which were last heard by American G.I.’s in the jungles of Vietnam, were 
•  the  behind bars, after exposing all of his personal information to LAPD detectives . He was later charged with felony vandalism.
• Exposed the Democrats’ favorite Muslim dad Khizr Khan as a  running 
• Broke the September 2016 Manhattan bombing  the mainstream media admitted it.
•  ex-Miss Universe and Hillary Clinton surrogate Alicia Machado as an imprisoned Mexican meth trafficker’s baby mama, among other things, in record time — 
•  never-before-seen documentary footage of a young Barack Obama whining about white people and white privilege in Kenya in the late 1980s or early 1990s. We 

Our exclusive breaking news stories have trended #1 on Facebook, caused 24-hour media sh*tstorms, and elicited shocked tweets from President Donald J. Trump himself. Whether the mainstream media cares to admit or not, we drive the news cycle every day, and we do it on a shoestring budget.

Our anonymous sources, some of whom — like President Barack Obama’s beloved brother — have gone on to go public, are the best in the world. They are even better than CNN’s, an outlet that cast doubt on us and wrongly insinuated we were “fake news�? for practicing the same journalistic and whistleblower protection methods that they did and continue to do.

We’ve all lost faith in the mainstream media and its narratives. We know their lies but are confronted with a scarcity of coherent, organized, alternative truths. Our mission is to find those truths and deliver them to you, our dear reader.

We want to raise $10,000 a month on FreeStartr to fully fund our site, researchers, editors, reporters, and persecuted sources. Can you help us do it — and burn the lying media to the ground?

Yours in truth,

GotNews
