I just found this new website and it’s absolutely amazing, maybe a little too much to be honest... do you guys know if this Michael Baxter is legit ?

PS.
A Baxter Dimitry used to write for Your News Wire, which apparently rebranded itself as NewsPunch.
Maybe Baxter Dimitry has no connection or relation to Michael Baxter, but they certainly seem to trade in the same sort of news. Possibly I jumped the gun by confusing these two dudes.
There is yet another (or same) Michael Baxter:

Maybe no connection. Needs more digging.
Anyway, look at the ABOUT US page at RRN:
"Tried to bring light" past tense. English teacher?
'formerly a mainstream journalist' would be a much better phrase structure. This guy writes like a full-blown amatuer.
"I can be reached" - wow. VERY colloquial. Not very journalistic language at all. "People can reach me" would be acceptable, as would be "I can be contacted at" but "I can be reached at" is just, well, lame and rather off.
(Note to Based: I am a linguist by training and have training in textual and language analysis.)
"For informational and educational and entertainment purposes"? And this guy is a former English teacher?

If ALL content is from Michael Baxter, how is it that it welcomes freelance contributions?
Meh.
PPS. The fonts, structure and style are VERY similar to what YourNEwsWire and NewsPunch have used. This was one of the things that suggested to my mind that Baxter Dimitry and Michael Baxter may in fact be the same guy.
Thanks for the work ! The more I look at it the more I feel reinforced in my gut feeling, that asshole spends its time here and prey on us with his shitty websites, he might be right with some things but still ( I do believe that Gitmo is used right now but not yet for big names unfortunately)
