Sobre la empresa
The Political Plug was founded as a response to the massive problem of misinformation and disinformation running rampant in the United States and the commonly-quoted command from former President John F. Kennedy to "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
As an independent news organization, the Political Plug is dedicated to informing the electorate with timely and accurate reporting, while helping to cut through the confusion with progressive political analysis.
Founded in December of 2022, the Political Plug is currently looking to grow a solid team of concerned citizens, muck rakers, and dirt diggers. However, at the current time we are operating without revenue, which makes paying salaries difficult. At the current moment, we're putting together a staff of volunteers who are joining the team with the understanding that, as we begin to generate revenue, their positions will be paid.
