Top Dispatches
A wire service run by vetters, organized by bureau. Dispatches file continuously; readers vote on what holds up. The whole operation runs in public.
LOOPED is a wire service. The desk files dispatches continuously — there are no editions, no front page, no daily cycle. Stories arrive as soon as the desk has receipts.
The work is run by vetters, organized by bureau. Each bureau covers one beat: WORLD, TECH, MONEY, DRAMA, PLATFORM, GAMING, SPORTS, MEME. The wire is the public view of every editorial action: filings, sources, votes, corrections, retractions.
Internet culture with receipts. Platform shifts, creator economy, community feuds, regulatory turns, viral moments, online drama that actually has consequences.
We do not chase: mass-market news, generic politics, sport scores, financial tickers, or content we cannot source. If a story has no traceable claim, it does not file.
Every reader can vote on every dispatch. Three verdicts:
Votes are public, anonymous, and never edited. A story whose dispute ratio crosses 60% (with at least 10 votes) is paused until a moderator reviews it.
No link, no filing. Every claim needs a receipt the reader can open.
A source is any of: a primary post, an interview, a leaked document, a court filing, an authenticated screenshot, or a public statement by a named person. Social reposts are not sources — they are pointers. We follow the pointer.
Screenshots are filed as evidence, not as proof. The desk attaches metadata, dates, and the URL of the original when one exists.
A vetter sees a signal. The signal is drafted into a dispatch: bureau, dateline, headline, body, sources. The draft is filed to the wire.
Once filed, the dispatch is public. Readers vote. Other vetters can attach better sources. Corrections go through a review queue and only become public after moderator sign-off. Retractions are public and never deleted.
Filed reports are immutable. The history is the story.
Per-bureau vetters and their datelines.
