About Gen Us
No algorithm. No agenda. No lobby money. Just receipts.
Our Mission
Gen Us is an independent newsroom built for a generation that doesn't trust the headline. We don't publish opinions. We publish analysis — every story scored for propaganda, checked for bias, and stripped of the spin that mainstream outlets bake into their coverage.
Every article that passes through our newsroom gets a Propaganda Score, a breakdown of loaded language, an ownership network map, and the context that the original source left out. We follow the money, name the beneficiaries, and show you who's pulling the strings.
We also track all 535 members of Congress — their lobby funding, AIPAC contributions, voting records, and financial connections. Because transparency isn't optional when public servants are making decisions with your money.
What We Do
Propaganda Scoring
Every story gets a score from 0-100 based on loaded language, framing techniques, missing context, and who benefits from the narrative.
Bias Detection
We map outlet ownership, identify funding sources, and analyze how editorial framing serves corporate or political interests.
Fact-Checking
Major claims are verified against multiple independent sources. Unverified or disputed claims are flagged transparently.
Missing Context
We add the information the original source left out — financial connections, historical context, and the full picture.
Ownership Mapping
We trace who owns each outlet, their corporate parents, major shareholders, and political affiliations.
Political Transparency
We track 535 members of Congress — lobby funding, PAC contributions, voting records, and who's bankrolling their campaigns.

Funding & Independence
Most newsrooms won't tell you who funds them. Their editors sit on boards with defense contractors. Their parent companies lobby Congress. Their anchors attend the same galas as the politicians they're supposed to hold accountable. That's not journalism — it's access retention.
Gen Us is different. We are independently operated. We take zero money from political parties, PACs, lobby groups, or foreign governments. Our editors have no ties to AIPAC, no defense industry board seats, no undisclosed relationships with any government — including those actively engaged in human rights violations.
We have no advertising relationships, sponsored content arrangements, or affiliate partnerships that could influence our editorial decisions. Nobody calls us before publication to "shape the narrative." Nobody pulls funding if we publish something uncomfortable.
We analyze stories from across the political spectrum — left, right, and everything in between — using the same methodology and standards for all sources. The same scrutiny we apply to Fox News, we apply to CNN. The same scoring we give Al Jazeera, we give the BBC.
If you want to know who funds a newsroom, ask them. If they won't tell you, that's your answer.
