Blanked Out

On August 2^nd, in my first substantive post at Blanked-Out, I laid out the three major goals of my blog. One of the principal goals was to provide context to political news.

Blanked-Out will fully re-launch soon. My broken arm is making great progress after some initial setbacks. Therefore, I think this is an opportune time to lay out some clarifications regarding my blog.

Financial Relationships

I have never and will never be paid to blog at Blanked-Out. I have never been paid to do any work of any kind (research, consulting, etc.) that was later used at Blanked-Out.

If I engage in a personal financial transaction with a political organization whether through employment or consulting work, I will not write posts on my employer or client.

Any such relationship will be immediately disclosed on Blanked-Out.

Partisanship and Bias

My volunteer hours are my own and reflect my passion for political involvement. If I post on any organization I volunteer with, this bias will be immediately disclosed on Blanked-Out.

Content

Blanked-Out is completely independent. It is written by Noah Kunin. Suggestions and press releases are always welcome but do not shop any pre-packaged stories here.

They will be rejected outright.

On the right, you will see a new page titled “Disclosure”. The above information and any specific disclosures will be posted there.
