Standards

These are the rules every TFS News story follows.

Independence

TFS News has no tie to any campaign, party or committee and takes no payment from them. TFS News is published by 1088 Labs, a small software company run from Iowa.

Sources

• Every reported fact links to where it came from, so you can check it.
• Every article ends with a list of its sources.
• When a fact comes from another outlet's reporting, the story says whose.
• We do not publish names, numbers, quotes, dates or polls we cannot source.

Fairness

• Where a story has sides, we report each side's stated position.
• Facts come before reactions.
• No party framing and no loaded adjectives.
• Plain English and short sentences.

AI help, disclosed

Stories are drafted with help from an AI assistant and checked against the linked sources. A note at the end of every article says so and gives the date the facts were checked.

Bylines

Every story carries the byline TFS News.

Claims about people

• An accusation that someone broke the law or did wrong is reported only as what a court record, official filing, official statement or a named news outlet says, and the sentence says who said it.
• Allegations are never stated as fact.
• When no charges have been filed, the story says so.
• When the person has responded in public, the story includes the response.
