According to ChatGPT:
"Susan Bassi is an investigative journalist and whistleblower from California, known for her work exposing issues related to the family court system. She has gained attention for her efforts to reveal corruption and misconduct within family courts, focusing particularly on the financial exploitation of families during divorce and custody disputes.
Bassi has been vocal about how attorneys, judges, and other officials within the family law system sometimes act in ways that serve their own financial interests rather than the best interests of children or families. Her work has often centered on the lack of transparency and accountability in family courts, highlighting issues such as biased rulings, excessive legal fees, and the influence of private interests.
Through her reporting, Bassi has collaborated with other advocates, journalists, and activists who seek to reform the family law system and protect the rights of those involved in family court cases. She is known for using her platform to document and share stories of people who have been negatively impacted by the system, particularly parents who have been financially drained by protracted legal battles.
Bassi's investigative work has sometimes been met with resistance, and she has reported being harassed for her efforts to shed light on these issues. Despite this, she continues to be a prominent figure in exposing alleged abuses within the family court system and advocating for change."
