Why is it so important that Political Rankings be nonpartisan? As discussed in The Federalist Stories №3, there is a real hunger in America for a source of political information that is, nonpartisan. Why? Well right off the bat it would be a novelty because almost all other sources of political information lean toward (or are firmly planted in) one political party or the other. But let’s take a second to specify exactly what nonpartisan means. When Political Rankings talks about the adjective nonpartisan, we mean “not being controlled by, supportive of, or exclusively affiliated with, either political party.”

But…

What is so special about Political Rankings with regards to its finances? The American people can recognize truth and honesty when they see it. A longtime strategy of being able to gage trust and honesty, beyond words and generalized actions, is to follow the money. This is where all of the existing main sources of political information run into trouble. When the American people look at the finances of legacy media organizations, social media companies, and the political parties, many are not happy with what they see. …

If you can’t trust political parties, who can you trust? OK, stop laughing for a second and work with us here. In The Federalist Stories Number 2 and The Federalist Stories Number 4 we scratched the surface on why the American people do not trust the political information they receive from legacy media and social media. Two other huge sources of political information are the parties themselves, but unfortunately they do not rate high on the trust factor either.

Before we continue, let’s take a second to specify who we’re talking about when we say “the political parties,” because even…

What is wrong with social media today? So in The Federalist Stories Number 2 we scratched the surface of what is wrong with news media organizations, aka legacy media. Remember those abounding books, podcasts, exposes, and more on that topic? Well buckle up because there are just as many related to social media and social media has only been around a fraction of the time! Again, this article will obviously only scratch the surface of the question, but scratch we must (again) because as we discussed in The Federalist Stories Number 3, there is a real hunger for nonpartisan, comprehensive…

What are Americans looking for in a reliable source of political information? As was mentioned in the previous article, American trust in news media organizations is hovering around all-time lows; such as 32% from Gallup in 2016. The question we’re going to look at today points at another dynamic at the core of why American politics is the warzone that it is today. There is a real hunger for a reliable source of political information because none of the existing sources of information are getting the job done. Describing specifically what such a reliable source of political information looks like…

What is wrong with the news media today? There have been abounding books, podcasts, exposes, and more on this topic, so it is safe to say the answer can be summed up as “a lot.” This article will obviously only scratch the surface of the question, but scratch we must because this is another dynamic at the core of why the landscape of American politics is the way that it is today (not good). Let’s make sure we confirm exactly what we’re talking about here though. The American news media is comprised of groups of people within many different organizations…

What is the Hyper Politicization Complex? Political Rankings was founded because of the current landscape in which America finds itself with regards to politics; a landscape that for simplicity’s sake we’ll summarize as “not good.” A landscape that needs many solutions, quickly, or there will be dire consequences. One such solution is an organization, like Political Rankings, to be a nonpartisan, comprehensive, and trustworthy source of political information for America (more on that later). At the risk of oversimplifying the extremely complex thing known as American politics, there are a number of dynamics we at Political Rankings have found at…
