The corporate media has been derelict in its reporting about the crimes of the GOP for a long time. That’s why I get my news here on Substack. You, Steven Beschloss, the Meidas Touch, and Aaron Parnas are all covering the truth. I also subscribe to HCR, Glenn Kirschner, and Joyce Vance. Every one of these people are speaking truth to power, and it seems that the maga party is weakening every day. Thanks for suppling information I can use to keep my spirits from being beaten to a pulp. You rock!
The mainstream media has abdicated its responsibility to act as a free press. Rather, these media outlets sane wash the constant barrage of lies that spew forth from this regime. Thank goodness for the independent press.
When they sanewash or whitewash criminals we readers need to give blowback to the NYTimes and other mainstream outlets we frequent, depsite the media's attempts to block or minimize our feedback on their websites
A few more media fails: As Paul Krugman pointed out, a NYT story claimed that Biden presented similar false claims about the economy as Trump is doing now. In fact, the Biden administration was stressing that it brought down inflation while building full employment and wages outpaced inflation. The fact that voters didn't understand and weren't buying that doesn't make it a lie. The same can't be said about Trump's claims thar he's brought prices down. Also, the great Ezra Klein wrote that Dems prevailed as we were electing judges in PA, where I live now, when in fact the State Supreme Court justices under fire from MAGA oligarch Jeffrey Yass were up for retention, and prevailed for another 10 years. Such a political genius should have known that, or at least an editor should have. The mistake was in the second paragraph.
The drafters of the First Amendment thought *Congress* or government in general was the #1 threat to freedom of the press. In recent decades it's become ever clearer that the #1 threat is Big Money. Journalist A. J. Liebling got it right when he wrote in 1960 "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." (I didn't realize till just now that Liebling also said "I take a grave view of the press. It is the weak slat under the bed of democracy.")
Birds of a feather? We have one giant jailbird as president and he just loves giving out pardons to his co-felons and obviously most news outlets don't care either. Or they're scared

Thanks, Sharon.

Steve Inskeep is one of the biggest disappointments in MSM.
Independent journalists are going to save the media. Thank you for being one.
Truth telling is a hazardous endeavor in these trump warped times.
Appreciate you keeping at the truth, since the MSM does not!

Great stuff! Just signed up. Thank you for keeping it free.
Shameful

“Convicted felon” is technically redundant, but idiomatic usage is prevalent.
