Grounding Sources
The live whitelist the agent draws from. 197 active outlets across 11 categories — loaded from the site database, not hand-curated on this page.
No endorsement
Listing a source here does not imply endorsement of its editorial line, framing, or ownership. Sources are selected to span the spectrum — state and independent, primary and wire, hawk and restraint, Israeli and adversarial — so that reports can triangulate across perspectives. Adversarial and state-aligned outlets are deliberately paired with their counterparts to surface framing contrast. Readers should verify load-bearing claims against the primary document wherever possible.
Open source
The full source inventory — including schema, categorisation, and editorial notes — is public and contributor-editable. Suggestions welcome.
