Trying to get T’s sales back up! He’s stole the data - all of it for his own business use. It was never about cost savings or efficiency.
Now he’s trying to fix his image - only the stupid will cobble up his BS.

Disinformation isn’t coming. It’s already publishing in your town, and it’s wearing a friendly, local disguise.

Real local journalism is collapsing. These pink slime sites fill the void, cheap, automated, and partisan. They don’t inform; they deceive. And they’re helping quietly tip elections while discrediting real news. It’s an attack on civic trust, not just information.

The architect? Brian Timpone, known for fake bylines at Journatic, now mass-produces pink slime for GOP-aligned donors. His shell companies, Franklin Archer, Locality Labs—hide the money trail. He’s not reporting news. He’s running a political influence factory.

The same “local” story is copy-pasted across dozens of sites to simulate consensus. One concern becomes 30 headlines. It looks like everyone’s talking about it, but they’re not. It’s message laundering designed to hack trust in community news to influence real-world decisions.

It’s all microtargeted. In Wisconsin: stories inflaming school board outrage. In Arizona: inflation panic. In Florida: environmental fearmongering. Each narrative is tailored to sway public opinion and voter turnout in key districts. This is electoral engineering.

Behind the curtain? Dark money groups like Leonard Leo’s DonorsTrust, which funneled $1.27M to Metric Media in 2020. CatholicVote launched a $9.7M anti-Biden campaign through this system. These aren’t newsrooms. They’re voter manipulation machines.

There are no reporters. No editors. Just AI regurgitating scraped public records, press releases, and partisan messaging, framed to stir outrage or reinforce conservative narratives. It’s cheap, scalable, and specifically designed to look local and real. It’s not.
