About Us

The world is a dangerous place. We make the reporting a little easier to navigate.

What Cruel Tyrant is

Cruel Tyrant is a simple, single-page aggregator of outside reporting about political power, authoritarianism, conflict, repression, and accountability. It is built for readers who would rather scan the headlines and visit original reporting than wade through a busy homepage.

How it works

We organize headlines from third-party outlets into three easy-to-scan columns. Clicking a headline takes you to the original publisher. We do not claim ownership of their reporting, and their headlines, opinions, and editorial judgments remain their own.

Our perspective

Power deserves scrutiny, and information should be easy to follow back to its source. Cruel Tyrant is a starting point for reading, not a substitute for comparing sources and checking context.
