Creation
Veritas Post was first created by James Order as a media outlet to provide polling, news segments and a full website of content to the public. It's initial staff consisted of James Order as Editor-In-Chief, JMP as Bureau Chief, Cabin as the Head Writer and Garland, Bruce Hill, and FatAmy as the other staff. They hosted debates and polls and mainly focused on breaking news reporting at the time.
Predictions
Veritas Post posted their first predictions for winners of state races in February and since then have been the premier predictions media source in the nation. While not always the most accurate, Veritas has attempted to create a system time and time again that correctly predicts the numerical outcome of a race.
Podcasting
In March of 2020, Veritas Post released their first podcast which would eventually turn into the Truth with James Order podcast. This podcast has had its share of scheduling issues, but has remained the only media podcast in the country that people consistently listen to.
Controversy
In mid-March, Veritas Post began obtaining anonymous leaks and screenshots that they would reveal to the nation. They became the media outlet that would most often be able to report fast on any stories unknown to the public. They were the first to talk about the Conservative and Federalist merger, as well as the controversy behind that merger. However, their first major controversial story was on April 1, 2020. Dixie Assemblyman Aegeus Phoenix was reported as being a part of a group sharing transphobic messages after a trans-rights bill was proposed in the Northern Hall of Delegates. James Order interviewed Phoenix and revealed his transphobic views. Phoenix later attempted to claim the entire ordeal was an April Fools prank.
Veritas Post was also the first to reveal the creation of the Centrist Party, the Federalist Party Chairmanship election mishap, and Lohengramm dropping out of the senate race in Dixie in May last minute. However, the post's most famous reporting comes from what has become known as LOTRGate II. This was when the Federalist Party lost enough seats in the House to lose the Speakership in May and the entire party came crashing down due to sloppy backdoor dealing attempts and the revelation through a Veritas Post podcast of the corruption that LOTR brought to the Federalist Party. Veritas Post is often attributed with the killing of the Federalist Party.
