Mason Report® will not always provide commentary you want to read or hear, but it will always provide analytical commentary that you need to read and hear. Our objective is to provide 'an interactive media experience.' That means we interact with our audience. Mason Report® is home to an open dialogue between contributors and an intrigued audience that is motivated to participate. Without parsing words, corporate media in the U.S. is an abject failure. They are either beholden to corporate sponsors which frame their biases or they are fearful of antagonizing political establishments. To combat this, Mason Report® follows one principle – remember our objective.
Access breaking news via the News tab or by clicking the announcement bar at the top of the screen. If you're looking for legal analysis, peruse the Case Commentary section. Editorial coverage of newsworthy items are listed under the Reports tab of the homepage. Utilize Mason Report® Sports "Top 5 Tuesday" posts as a catalyst for sparking sports related arguments. Listen to Mason Report® Audio - short podcasts that eliminate gray areas, while offering solutions to everyday problems via the Podcast tab.

Cliff Mason II founded Mason Report® in October 2014, from a desire to provide a real news and political commentary alternative to corporate media. Cliff took a hiatus from the classroom after a six-year teaching career, to become more grounded in the law. After earning his Doctor of Jurisprudence from the Valparaiso University School of Law, Cliff returned to the classroom to help young people reach their academic and athletic dreams.
As a humanities teacher, Cliff prides himself on examining multiple ideas to deduce solutions through logic-based reasoning. Cliff was born and raised in paradise, which is more commonly known as Santa Ana, California. His SoCal roots explain his zero tolerance of fence sitters, believing, 'we can eliminate gray areas with sound judgment and courage of conviction.'

Grayson is a queer transgender man of color, currently pursuing his Master’s degree in Educational Leadership, where he is exploring educational leadership in equity. He received both of his Bachelor's from the University of South Florida in English and Women's & Gender Studies.
Grayson is laser focused on the following issues: intervening to counteract the prison-to-pipeline system we have created for students of color, investigating police brutality and the disproportionate brutality to people of color, and Trans* folks.
"I do not stand in the grey area on any issue. In life we have to make decisions and choose where we stand. I believe in the balances of power to form legislation. I will not bash political parties but highlight arguments made by all and then draw awareness to the root of the problems that exist."
