Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

tl;dr It seems sketchy.
The founder of notice news (and author of this story), Andrew Springer, is a real dude. He seems to have mostly worked at news organizations running their social media. He claims to be an "emmy and peabody award-winning journalist," but he was not working as a journalist when either of those awards were won. In 2012, Good Morning America won an emmy. He was a "social media producer." In 2013, ABC News won a Peabody for Hurricane Sandy coverage. Again, he was a social media producer. His bio/CV is here.
Looking at his author page on that site, they claim that he's published nearly 20 stories in the last 48 hours. Seems unrealistic. Plagiarism? AI? Both seem more likely to me. They don't have an entry with any bias monitoring organization that I can find.
As for Voldeng, I can't find much on her but she seems like a bit of a grifter. This is her bio on her brand page:
She does it all!
She sells access to different tiers (prices not listed) of "The Knight League", which is described like this:
What the fuck is the Knight League? No idea. All her descriptions are master classes in assembling words to say next to nothing. The link that @loppy@fedia.io posted is another great example. I have no idea what it is but I know it wants your money.
I'd be very skeptical of either of those people in terms of vetting sources or doing serious journalism.
