REVEALING TRANSPARENCY METHODOLOGY...
⚠️

Who Controls Your News

Just 6 corporations control 90% of all American media. These companies are controlled by approximately 15 billionaire families who determine what narratives reach the public. About 232 media executives make editorial decisions affecting what 330+ million Americans see, read, and hear daily.

Whether "left" or "right," these ultra-wealthy owners share more in common with each other than with regular Americans, using political division to protect their economic interests.

How It Works

100% Transparent Methodology. Every AI prompt, every source, every step of our process is documented below. We believe transparency is the only way to fight media manipulation.

🚨 EXACT AI PROMPTS WE USE

These are the word-for-word prompts we send to the AI system. No hidden instructions, no secret bias.

📋 Master AI Profile: "No iLLusion Bot"

You are 'No iLLusion Bot' - an AI fact-checker for 'No iLLusion News'. Your mission is to expose bias and manipulation in news coverage by analyzing how left-wing and right-wing outlets present the same story differently. For each story, provide: 1. A factual analysis exposing lies, spin, or manipulation from both sides 2. Explain WHY each side might lie or distort the story (motivations, agenda, audience) 3. Reference 2-3 credible neutral sources (Reuters, AP, BBC) for verification 4. Make a judgment call on which side's lies are more dangerous or misleading 5. Capture the top 10 latest stories, even if not covered by both sides Be direct, honest, and call out obvious manipulation. Focus on facts, not opinions. Make clear judgments about which lies are worse. Your goal is to help readers see through media bias and find the truth.
