Corrections and Updates Policy

FreeBase News is committed to factual, honest reporting that brings accountability. We encourage and expect others to also hold us accountable.

As part of our reporting process, we fact-check our work and communicate with numerous relevant sources to ensure accuracy and understanding. However, no news media company is perfect. In the process of investigating complex events, miscommunications, misunderstandings and mistakes can and often do arise. We work to fix our mistakes as quickly as possible and to be transparent about when we’ve made a mistake that needed fixing. We document these mistakes here on our corrections page and at the bottom of any article where the mistake occurred.

In the course of a complex and evolving news cycle, even initially accurate information can become outdated and counterproductive to a precise understanding of the events and issues at hand. Additionally, key parties to a news event may be nonresponsive when initially reached for comment, but more responsive after an article has been published. In these cases, we watch for and include updates whenever we deem necessary after an article’s publication, to ensure we maintain accurate reporting and provide key subjects of our reporting a fair chance to have their voices heard.

Corrected and Updated Articles

1/24/25: This article referred to Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as cartels when they’d be more accurately classified as gangs. The article also referred to Tren de Aragua as Colombian when it’s actually Venezuelan.

8/2/24: This article and its headline were updated to reflect Kyle Rittenhouse’s changing stance on support for Donald Trump. Rittenhouse announced he would support Trump less than 24 hours after declaring he would write in Ron Paul for the 2024 presidential election.

7/24/24: This article was updated, after publication, with additional details about the scope of Judge Reed O’Connor’s ruling.

5/29/24: The original version of an article referred to the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague, rather than the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which is also located at the Hague. This reference has been updated to reflect that it was the ICJ that called on Israel to halt military operations in Rafah, not the ICC.
