We Could Finally Destroy #CitizensUnited

Someone on here earlier today turned me on to a new #canadian #journalism collective called #Unrigged.
It consists of 20+ indie journalists and organizations across Canada, delivering the uncensored word with hourly updates.

Until they find a presence in the #fedi, I've created a bot to mirror their RSS feed so we can stay up-to-date.

Support #journalists who care enough to tank their careers at #msm to bring us the truth.
