DATA:

Both identities use https://gravatar.com/ for their avatar.

Neither avatar appears anywhere else on the web (source: google, tineye)

Bergman has a very generic "blurb" for his profile in addition to stories he 'authored', no concrete information or data provided. In other words, he is anonymous.

Fielding has no blurb at all for his profile, only stories he 'authored'. Anonymous.

Questions:

Who uses anonymous avatars and profiles with zero concrete information or verifiable sources, but presents themselves as "journalists" writing articles on publications presenting themselves as legitimate sources of news?

Who copies texts from other 'authors' but presents it as their own, with little or zero modification, etc?

What publications paint themselves as "pro-american, patriotic, American values," describe themselves as "the world’s leading independent media source for political news junkies" (N/A) and "one of the nation’s fastest-growing alternative media companies" (Slay News), and are "designed for patriots" (N/A) and "promises to always prioritize its most valuable asset – our readers"?

What publications would provide a fake or false address and contact information in the US, while being based overseas (i.e. UK)?

Is there a pattern or are there patterns of activity/behavior similar or identical between these two 'sauces'? (hint: yes)

I'll dig in more on the Slay Address, as I have seen it before, somewhere (but not related to Slay).

Conclusions

Often, the first place to start myth-busting disinfo or clickbait operations is to check their details, looking for hints of legitimacy or otherwise.

Often, even a cursory check can turn up red flags that make it easy to bring the information being published into doubt. Remember, the BEST disinfo always combines X amount (larger amount, normally) of truth with Y amount of disinfo.

Disinfo is most effectively delivered by wrapping it up in a bundle of seemingly legitimate information, in order to disguise the disinfo.

In addition, information that is presented while appealing to people's emotional biases (aka "We're patriots!) often seeks to circumvent otherwise critical thinking.

I think the data re: these two publications is pretty damning, to start with. So who do you think they are, and what do you think their motive is? To spread the truth?

Think about it.

Addendum: obviously, one might go into the text itself to check the information and see how robust it is (sauces, reasoning, style, information), but given what I've found here, BOTH these websites would go on my Red Flag list, and be treated as hostile until proven otherwise.

Also: we are anonymous here, but we do not present ourselves as anything other than anonymous. Who is anonymous but at the same time presents themselves as not anonymous? Why?
