I know this is old, but I stumbled across this post after doing a little digging about cinch news. I came from the discord server. A bunch of the people who make stuff for cinch news network are in there, and they talk quite often. Me and a few other people have been trying to find out more about these people, as well as whether or not they're for real. Here's a link to the discord, for anyone who may want it. https://discord.gg/aYKH6sS9 They essentially seem to believe that journalists are some sort of new gender or something, and they've been saying stuff like "JLGBTQ". They also seem to believe that a journalist's opinion is right, just because they are a journalist. That sort of thing makes me think it's a joke, but after seeing how detailed the articles are on cinch news, i'm just not sure anymore. I just can't imagine anybody going this far for a joke, putting in this much work.
