We need organizations like ProPublica to keep the already-wealthy and the corporations and the government, both Federal and state, honest and legal and working for the people, for the nation and for the common good. As newspapers go down, we need them all the more.

Sean Spicer is trying to do what so many others have done in order to discredit strong, fair media outlets -- claim they have a liberal bias, and then use that ...claim to dismiss anything those media groups have to say. Luckily, most of us know better. ProPublica's reporting is extensively researched, thoughtful, and evidence-based. You will not find empty rhetoric here.

For those of you who do not trust the media, I acknowledge that some ProPublica articles may make you angry. You might feel they're not consistent with your perspective. Ask yourself why you are having that reaction. Try to consider that there may be information you don't know about, or haven't taken into account. What would it cost you to think about that possibility? What would it cost you to look deeper into your reactions to this information? Why is it so important to shut out information that seems different from what you believe? Is your identity going to crumble just because you considered another point of view? I'll answer that -- it won't, because you're stronger than that. We're all stronger than that.

If you feel you can only trust information that comes from people who think like you, you're missing out on most of the world. You're letting other people restrict your views and dictate what you should or should not think. You're letting others sow mistrust and suspicion, and that gives them power over you and many other people. It doesn't have to be that way, and you're the only one with the power to change that for yourself.

Read outside of your comfort zone. There are media outlets you can trust that span the political spectrum. They may have different interpretations of what their information means, but looking at a variety of sources will help you to weed out what is real and what is only designed to reinforce your current beliefs. If your only motivation is to feel you're right and most other people are wrong, then you're just feeding your ego and your effort is wasted. I don't like it any more than you do when information conflicts with my beliefs, but I've learned to look deeper into these issues than I would have years ago.

Ask yourself, have your beliefs about the world changed at all since you were a child, or a teenager, or a young adult? For most of us, the answer is yes. It's normal to consider other perspectives. It's normal to change your mind when you gather additional information. It's normal to be wrong about some things and right about others. That's life, and part of being human is understanding that none of us is perfect, we all have biases and ideas that are wrong, and we have the freedom to admit that. If we limited our information to what we already believe, none of us would be here. Human achievement relies on our collective effort to understand the world, and I for one am not going back to rubbing sticks together and living in a cave. See More

ProPublica has no journalistic integrity. Their ARC and Amazon articles are both collections of bullet-point facts expanded with incorrect analysis to tell a s...tory that doesn't line up with reality.

In the case of the American Red Cross, ProPublica takes the Red Cross's "Lessons Learned Documentation"—which is the organization's internal documentation of what worked, what didn't, and how to prevent problems in the future—and repeatedly frames it as "hiding and ignoring problems" (the exact opposite of what that documentation is for). Their piece on Haiti claims ARC spent $500 million and built 6 houses, and that any costs associated with businesses performing work in Haiti are "unreported overhead" (ARC keeps 9%, ProPublica says contractors have profit so ARC is lying and it's really 40%); they fail to mention that the project to build houses (and schools) were non-viable money sinks, and ARC redirected that money to sanitization (saving thousands of Haitian lives from death by cholera), infrastructure, and government training on disaster prevention and response.

In the recent Amazon article, ProPublica examines Amazon's listing software. Amazon shows the lowest cost-plus-shipping price seller for any item by default, with Amazon's own lowest shipping price being $0.00 Super Saver Shipping (or Prime 2-day free shipping). As well, even if the default seller is *not* Amazon, the list of all sellers shows Amazon first so you can fill your cart to get deep-discount "Add-on items" and free "Super Saver Shipping" (minimum $25 purchase). ProPublica mischaracterizes this by arbitrarily tacking on high shipping costs for Amazon offers, as well as by simply implying Amazon always puts its offer first instead of admitting that the Amazon offer with Super Saver Shipping is typically the lowest-price offer—which is why it's the one that shows up by default.

Lies, damned lies, twisted logic, and harmful attacks on high-performance charities. ProPublica essentially libels and slanders organizations people trust—including disaster response charities, meaning ProPublica's deceptive, amoral, unethical journalism will and likely has gotten people killed. ProPublica's journalists and executives should all be imprisoned for fraud. See More

imho, research + investigative journalism at its best, seeking the truth and not playing the "every point of view is equally valid" false equivalence game. eve...n before winning a Pulitzer Prize this week, ProPublica's Facebook page has been targeted by trolls from the extreme right and left, but have stayed focused on evidenced based investigative journalism.

They do what many other news orgs should be doing, but are not. They prove their 'realness' every day by backing up every news story with 'true facts' with data -- all that no BS good stuff.

ProPublica does such good and important work, now more than ever. I donated and hope everyone else does too. Every little bit helps! The world needs more people and organizations like ProPUBLICA!

Hard-hitting, well thought out with detail! It is obvious that police, courts, and politicians benefit and work in collusion. If the local residents and business people do not vote according to their best interests they will suffer.

Charity Scams abound, particularly in Veteran Charities & Cancer Charities. We should be ever vigilant in documenting Charity Fraud & Waste. I whole heartedly endorse ProPublica to help Americans and International donors detect and avoid fraudulent Charities. - John Z Kitover @my30sblog

Quality journalism, in depth reporting. So glad they're tackling housing in NYC. No open market there, my friends.

A few weeks ago, you helped ProPublica, the New York Times and the Associated Press comb through some of the Trump administration’s staffers’ financial disclosu...re forms. The thing is: we’re still waiting for least 60 of the promised forms. That’s an “at least” because, thanks to the opacity of this process, we don’t even know if we’ve asked for the full list. We don’t know who’s eligible for discolosure. It’s a game of Transparency Battleship. Our next task – and our next ask for you – we need to identify the people MISSING from our list.

We’re asking for your help here: https://goo.gl/forms/EVQnXeaGycxtuLmH2
