Corbett's journalism career began in the aftermath of 9/11, when he became "overwhelmed to discover that we are constantly lied to through the mainstream media." 9/11 was his "red pill" moment, and he hasn't stopped digging for the truth since.

"The discrepancy between the things that I was finding online versus what was being reported on the evening news just started getting wider and wider," he says, "to the point where I felt that … I had to insert myself in that conversation. So that's the reason we're talking today."

In 2007, Corbett launched his website, CorbettReport.com. One of his hallmarks, both in his documentaries and regular reports, is impeccable citations of sources.

"I always put up the transcript with the hyperlinks to the source documents for every single quotation, every video clip, everything that I'm playing," he says. "I want to direct people back to the source material so that they can research it for themselves.

I know, as a researcher myself who does this for a living, that's incredibly valuable. I very much appreciate it when other people do it, so I'm trying to set that example in the alternative media."
