2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Why was he running a sex abuse organization that was specifically anti-child in the first place?

I wonder how Masterson feels now when he looks at his young daughter and knows that there are people like him in the world.

What he did to those girls, someone could do to his. I hope he spends all his time in jail thinking about that.

I also hope that nothing bad ever happens to her, just for clarity.

I don't know a lot about the guy but his involvement with that organization was probably the only thing I respected about him.

Do you know anything about the charity? Or just what his PR team sold you?

I guarantee their PR team warned them against sending those letters, and they ignored them. The arrogance of the wealthy.

The right decision since it looks hypocritical now.
