The mission of Third Rail News is to deliver critical commentary on important issues. There are no sacred cows here. The Third Rail News philosophy is that a news story should contain three items: what’s going on, who you should be pissed at, and what can be done about it.

The operator of Third Rail News is Kyle Schmidlin, a writer and musician living in Austin, Texas. You can reach Kyle via his accounts on Facebook and Twitter. You can also follow Kyle’s musical pursuits on Facebook and SoundCloud.

All content from Third Rail News can be distributed online. All I ask is that you include the following accreditation: “Kyle Schmidlin is a writer and musician living in Austin, Texas. You can reach Kyle via his accounts on Facebook and Twitter.”
