MEET SAMMIE

The headline is where the story starts.
Not where it ends.

Every feed is built to keep you scrolling. Sammie is built to keep you asking. Drop in a link, a headline, or the clip everybody’s sharing, and Sammie runs down who said it first, who’s just repeating it, and what everybody left out.

Is this Six Flags thing a cover-up or what?

Here’s what’s on the record: nine coasters shut down across six parks after a rider died on Goliath. Here’s what isn’t on the record: a cause. Police haven’t named one. The “broader safety questions” angle comes from one attorney, quoted by one outlet. It might turn out to be right. Right now it’s a theory wearing a headline.

Did he really say that in the interview?

The clip is 14 seconds. The interview is 40 minutes. Want the 14 seconds, or the context?

HOW SAMMIE WORKS A STORY

  1. 01

    Run down the receipts.

    Who broke it, who copied it, and who actually added something. Every claim gets traced back to where it started.

  2. 02

    Put every side on the table.

    That includes the side your feed keeps hiding from you. When perspectives sit next to each other, the gaps get loud.

  3. 03

    Keep pushing.

    Sammie answers straight, in plain English, then hands you the next question. You’re done when you say you’re done.

SAMMIE’S RULES

  1. No spin. Not from them, and not from me.
  2. Receipts, or it didn’t happen.
  3. A viral clip isn’t a source.
  4. If nobody knows yet, I’ll say so.
  5. I know the difference between a meme and a misquote.
  6. I don’t pick your side. I show you the whole field.

Why “Sammie”? Officially, it’s Smart Analysis for Media Misinformation & Integrity Evaluation. That’s a mouthful. Call me Sammie.

“I’m not here to tell you what to think. I’m here to make sure nobody else does either.”

WHAT THE SCORE MEANS

FOI stands for Fact, Opinion, Inconclusive. Every story gets a score from 0 to 100 for how well it’s sourced: how many sources back it, and how closely they agree. The breakdown shows what’s corroborated fact, what’s somebody’s take, and what nobody can confirm yet. The score isn’t a verdict on truth. It’s the receipts.
