In a bold move that promises to rattle some cages, TransMedia Group has been brought on board to represent Witch Hunt News, a publication with a mission to pull back the curtain on what it calls “modern-day witch hunts” in journalism. The goal? To separate fact from fiction and find out if certain stories, often labeled as witch hunts by their subjects, really hold water or are nothing more than smear campaigns.
TransMedia Group’s president, Adrienne Mazzone, made it clear that their task is to shine a spotlight on what Witch Hunt News uncovers. Specifically, the publication aims to investigate claims of false and defamatory reporting targeting individuals and businesses—particularly when it comes to high-profile figures like former President Donald Trump. After all, Trump has famously referred to many investigations against him as nothing more than witch hunts.
“Is Trump really the victim of a witch hunt, or is there solid evidence behind the claims against him? That’s exactly what Witch Hunt News plans to dig into, and we’re here to get their findings out into the public,” said Mazzone.
But it’s not just about Trump. Witch Hunt News has set its sights on a broader objective: exposing whether certain negative reports are simply reputation-damaging pieces disguised as journalism, or if they are backed by solid evidence of wrongdoing. The publication doesn’t intend to throw around accusations lightly. According to Mazzone, the real test is in how accurate, fair, and substantiated these claims of corruption or dishonesty are.
Investigating the Case of Michael Mota
One of the current hot topics under Witch Hunt News’ microscope is a series of articles about Rhode Island entrepreneur Michael Mota. Mota’s lawyer, Peter Ticktin, has filed a lawsuit claiming that 16 newspaper reports were nothing short of character assassination—calling them “false and defamatory.”
Witch Hunt News is digging deep into these claims, with the aim of revealing whether the reports were a deliberate hit job or whether they simply reported the facts. Mazzone made it clear that if there is proof of defamatory intent, Witch Hunt News plans to expose it.
“Our mission is to highlight what Witch Hunt News has evidence for—deliberate efforts by some media outlets to tear down reputations based on shaky or entirely false reporting,” Mazzone said.
The Stakes for Journalism
The stakes couldn’t be higher. With claims of media bias and sensationalism flying left and right, Witch Hunt News is positioning itself as the watchdog of the watchdogs. The publication aims to make sure that when the media points fingers, they do so with accuracy and integrity, not just for clicks or political points.
Mazzone didn’t hold back in addressing the importance of journalistic accuracy. “It’s high time that all forms of media uphold the highest standards of fairness and truth when accusing anyone—whether it’s a person or a business—of unethical or illegal behavior. If there’s proof, it needs to be front and center in the reporting.”
In this era of sensational headlines and viral stories, Witch Hunt News wants to ensure that “the proof is in the pudding.”
