Truth Rules

Every video follows these rules. If one breaks a rule, that's an error, and it gets corrected in public.

Last updated September 25, 2026.

No primary source, no story. News articles, aggregators, and press releases are leads. The source is the study, the dataset, or the official document itself.
Show the receipt. The source is named on screen and linked in the description.
Say what's still hard. Good news always includes the problem that remains, so it never reads as spin.
No sides, no villains. No partisan dunking and no personal attacks. Policies are covered only by what they measurably did.
No fake realism. No AI-generated footage of real people or real events. Charts are built from the source's data, and stock clips are labeled "illustrative".
No hype. No "cure", "breakthrough", or "you won't believe" in titles. Results from animal studies, lab work, small trials, and preprints are labeled as early.
Disclose AI. Every description says what AI helped with and confirms that a human checked the result.
Correct fast. Once an error is confirmed, a pinned correction and an updated description go up within 24 hours, the error is added to the corrections log, and a video with a wrong number is replaced.
