The American Men exists to give readers fast, clear, and honest coverage of the news from a conservative perspective. Readers can only trust us if we are accurate, open about how we work, and quick to fix our mistakes. This page explains the standards we hold ourselves to and how we handle corrections.
Our Editorial Standards
Accuracy first
We aim to get the facts right every time. Names, numbers, dates, quotations, and claims about what people said or did should be supported by a reliable source, such as an official statement, a public record, a court filing, a video, or reporting by a credible news organization. When facts are disputed or a story is still developing, we say so rather than presenting uncertain information as settled.
Sourcing and attribution
Much of our coverage builds on reporting by other outlets, public documents, and statements by public figures. When we rely on someone else’s reporting, we aim to credit it clearly and to link to original sources where practical so readers can check them. We quote people accurately and in context. We do not knowingly publish fabricated quotes, invented sources, or doctored media.
Original value
Our goal is not to repeat what others have written but to help readers understand it: organizing the key facts, explaining the background, and offering perspective and analysis. We use only brief quotations from other publications, consistent with fair use, and we respect the intellectual property of other creators.
News versus opinion
The American Men has a point of view, and we are open about it. We still work to keep the facts in our news coverage separate from our commentary, so readers know which statements are reported facts and which are our analysis or opinion. Opinion pieces are still held to factual accuracy.
Fairness
We try to describe the people and organizations we cover fairly, including those we disagree with. Where appropriate, we include their stated positions or responses. People charged with crimes are described as accused or charged, and are presumed innocent unless convicted.
Headlines and images
Headlines should accurately reflect the article beneath them. Images should be relevant to the story. Some images on the Site are illustrations or digitally created artwork rather than photographs of the actual event; illustrations are not intended to depict real people or events literally.
Use of technology
Like many publishers, we use software tools, including automated and AI-assisted tools, to help with research, drafting, editing, headlines, and image creation. These tools support our work; they do not replace our responsibility for what we publish. The standards on this page apply to everything that appears on the Site, however it was produced.
Independence from advertisers
The Site is supported by advertising, but advertisers do not influence what we cover or what we say. Sponsored content, if any, will always be clearly labeled as sponsored.
Corrections Policy
We make mistakes, and when we do, we fix them promptly and transparently.
How to request a correction
If you believe an article contains a factual error, please contact us through our Contact page (choose “Correction request”) or email [email protected]. Please include:
- The link to the article;
- The specific statement you believe is incorrect; and
- The correct information and a source that supports it, if available.
How we review requests
We review every correction request we receive, check the original sources, and aim to respond within a few business days. Disagreements about opinion or analysis are not errors of fact, but we welcome that feedback as well.
How we correct articles
- Material factual errors, such as a wrong name, number, date, quote, or claim that changes the meaning of the story, are corrected in the article, and a note is added explaining what was changed and when, for example: “Correction (October 7, 2026): An earlier version of this article misstated…”
- Updates that add significant new information to a developing story are marked with an “Update” note and date.
- Minor fixes to spelling, grammar, formatting, or broken links that do not change the meaning of the article may be made without a note.
- If an error is serious enough that the core premise of an article is wrong, we will correct it prominently, and we may replace the article with an editor’s note explaining why.
Removal requests
We generally do not remove published articles simply because their subject would prefer they not be online. We will consider removing or updating content when it is inaccurate and cannot be fixed with a correction, when it poses a safety risk to an individual, when it violates someone’s legal rights, or when it involves a minor or a private person in circumstances where continued publication serves no public interest. Copyright complaints are handled under our DMCA & Copyright Policy.
Feedback
We value our readers’ feedback on our coverage, our tone, and the stories we should be covering. Reach us any time at [email protected].
