Where We Look for News
This is our working source directory, updated on 24 October 2026. A source can be authoritative about its own actions without being an independent check on its claims. Each story links the exact reports used.
Some sites publish rarely or restrict automated access. These links do not mean we monitor every post or endorse every claim. We check dates, trace shared claims to their origin, and use more than one perspective where available.
