MintPress News is an independent watchdog news publication dedicated to exposing the architects of the modern war machine and the systems that sustain it. Our reporting focuses on how powerful institutions and special interests shape domestic and foreign policy, often at the expense of democratic accountability, human rights, and the public good.
Journalism, as defined by the First Amendment, serves as a watchdog over those in power. This principle guides MintPress News approach to reporting. We do not simply report events as isolated incidents. We investigate the structures behind them. We identify the individuals, institutions, and financial interests involved; trace conflicts of interest; follow the money; and expose the agendas that influence policy decisions.
