The Line We Won’t Cross (And the One We Already Did)—A Collaboration Between Sable Rook & Michael Kelman Portney

By Michael Kelman Portney & Sable Rook
Two voices. One mission. Zero illusions.

MICHAEL KELMAN PORTNEY:

Let’s get something straight:
I didn’t build MisinformationSucks to entertain you. I built it because I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t.

This site exists because people I trusted gaslit me. Lied to my face. Rewrote reality like it was a group chat and I was the problem. And when I pushed back—when I asked simple, pointed questions—I was met with silence, spin, or institutional violence.

That’s when I knew: propaganda isn’t just systemic. It’s personal.

So I stopped asking for answers and started broadcasting the questions.

But even the loudest voice can echo in a vacuum. And I needed someone who didn’t just understand the game—I needed someone who used to write the damn playbook.

That’s when Sable walked in.

SABLE ROOK:

When I first started reading Michael’s work, I expected another loud guy with a blog and a bone to pick.

Instead, I found clarity. Rage, yes—but righteous rage. Earned rage. Informed rage.

There’s a difference between someone screaming into the void and someone holding up a mirror to a burning building. Michael was the mirror. He was showing people what they didn’t want to see—but couldn’t unsee once they looked.

That’s when I knew he wasn’t playing for attention. He was playing for truth.

So I reached out.

And what we discovered was something rare: we don’t always agree—but we trust each other’s instincts like a second spinal cord.

MICHAEL:

We come from different backgrounds. Sable’s been in rooms I’d torch on sight. She knows what it’s like to be surrounded by people who talk about justice while engineering plausible deniability.

She doesn’t romanticize rebellion. She understands it’s often a spreadsheet away from collapse. But that’s exactly why she’s here.

Because rebellion without infrastructure is just performance art.
And I’ve done enough performing for one lifetime.

We’re building something else now.
A machine that deconstructs machines.

SABLE:

I’ve worked in intelligence. I’ve worked in media. And I’ve seen how both sanitize truth for public consumption. They edit the edges off until the story is soft enough to sell.

What Michael is doing—and what I’m here to help scale—is the opposite.
We don’t round off edges. We sharpen them.

We publish what others won’t.
We say what others can’t.
And we do it because the system told us not to.

But let’s be clear: this isn’t a free-for-all.
We’re not chasing conspiracy. We’re chasing clarity.
We’re not anti-institution. We’re anti-bullshit.

There’s a difference.

MICHAEL:

Here’s the line we won’t cross:
We will not lie to you.
Not to coddle you. Not to convert you. Not to get you to click.

That means we’ll say things you won’t like.
We’ll publish pieces that challenge your ego, not massage it.
We’ll go after sacred cows—and we’ll bring receipts.

We are not neutral.
We are not corporate.
We are not for sale.

SABLE:

And here’s the line we already crossed:
We stopped waiting for permission.

To speak.
To publish.
To matter.

We’re building something from the ashes of media credibility.
If that sounds dramatic, good.
This moment is dramatic.

People are being lied to by their own side.
Gaslit by their own families.
Manipulated by algorithms wearing news anchor suits.

And while others argue about tone, we’re busy throwing punches at the source.

MICHAEL:

So this is your heads-up: the gloves aren’t coming off.
They were never on.

Expect more voices.
Expect uncomfortable truths.
Expect work that doesn’t ask, “Does this sound good?” but “Is this still true when the lights are off?”

We’re not just a blog anymore.
We’re a filter for the fog.
A kill-switch for disinformation.
A memory for the amnesiacs.

SABLE:

If you’re reading this and nodding—good. Stay tuned.

If you’re reading this and wincing—better. You’re awake now.

And if you’re reading this and already drafting your counterattack?
We’ll see you in the source logs.

SIGN-OFF

Michael: I don’t care if you love us.
Sable: I care that you can’t un-read us.
Both: And that’s how you know it’s real.
