The TransFederation Examiner was a 25th century Federation news publication owned by Broht & Forrester.
History[]
Jake Sisko considered The TransFederation Examiner to be an untrustworthy source and characterized it as "thoroughly disreputable" in his "Undine War History" project. He pointed out that co-owner Ardon Broht was convicted of money laundering in April 2420.
On 22 November 2408, The TransFederation Examiner released a report from New Guinea that a captured enemy agent on Earth was actually an AI humaniform hologram who thought it was an Undine, an unexpected development claimed to have been witnessed by Starfleet officers and security officials. Sisko was unable to confirm the story, and considered it disinformation. (STO novel: The Needs of the Many)
