Ameritocracy


Location: United States, Seattle, WA


Ever feel overwhelmed trying to keep up on news (especially politics), but feel like there’s too much information and it’s hard to know who to trust?

Ever read the results of a poll or focus group and ask, “Who the heck did they poll? I sure wouldn’t have said that.”

Ever watch talking heads on TV and want to gently toss your remote through the screen because of the junk they’re saying? If you answered “yes”, this site may be able to help.

Ameritocracy is a user-contributed and user-generated content site that allows people to judge the accuracy or agreeability of claims made by society’s leaders and information gatekeepers such as media outlets and businesses.

Ameritocracy addresses the following issues:

  • Keeping up on social and political information takes entirely too long for most people.
  • There is increasing distrust in politicians and the media, and as a result, people increasingly seek news from their one trusted perspective.
  • We lack meaningful feedback and dialogue with our government, media and business institutions.
