Every story has multiple sides, and we are committed to giving everyone a fair shake.
Just because someone has been arrested or accused of something doesn’t mean they are guilty. Our subjects are innocent until found guilty by a court of law.
No one is exempt from potential coverage by The Daily Muck. We don’t bend to political, government or corporate influence.
We go after the worst of the worst– for instance, fraudsters whose unscrupulous behavior affects large swaths of the population. We also report on officials in positions of public trust whose actions violate their professional obligations. Our purpose in doing so is to ultimately diminish their ability to harm others by shining a light on their actions.
While we may use humor and irony as stylistic devices in some of our stories, we take the crimes we write about seriously. We are dedicated to helping our audience learn how to protect themselves from fraud and scams.
We do not use AI to write or research stories. While AI has its place, we believe that the human brain is superior when it comes to creating, vetting and authenticating news coverage. The Daily Muck is for humans by humans.
We strive for political neutrality in both choosing our topics and how we cover them. Our goal is to never allow politics to taint the objectivity of our reporting. We are neither “right-leaning” nor “left-leaning.” Our interests are extortion, fraud, corruption, white-collar crime, human trafficking, and abuses of power– not political parties and agendas.
We encourage dialogue with our readers, and although we go to great lengths to verify the veracity of our stories, we are not immune from making mistakes.
