Uncovering Political Leaders with Dual Roles and Hidden Loyalties
Our country is increasingly guided by political leaders who have ulterior motives and hidden loyalties, or at the very least conflicts of interest, when it comes to their span of control. Sometimes these situations are obvious and well known, while at others they are quite hidden. In any case, a new form of political fact checking is needed. As part of the political movement of our parent site, A Collective Good, we aim to both educate and promote open and honest debate of the issues through this unique form of fact checking.
At Foxes in the Henhouse we do not pretend to know everyone's political motives and intentions. Our goal is to point out instances where there is the appearance of a fox guarding a henhouse, and then fact check what they actually do in the context of the potential hidden agenda or dual role. It is up to our readers to decide, given how that person performs in the role, whether there was a true conflict of motives or hidden agenda.
Our site is organized so that our pages fact checking the following potential henhouse foxes:
Advocacy Groups such as nonprofits, 527s and PACs
Elected Leaders at the federal and state level
Political Appointees again at the federal and state level
Polling companies, the media and corporations
