Yes, Fern, that is the problem. Something like 30,000 jobs have been lost in journalism, but one of the bright spots is that individuals with remarkable skills—like Judd Legum and groups like ProPublica — have been able to flourish independently. And, of course, Substack gives someone like Heather Cox Richardson a platform, whereas in more conventional journalism, she might be reduced to sound bites as a talking head. The issue, of course, is that a reader has to be dogged to FIND trustworthy news, which is why I'm so happy that a man who seems to be an ordinary citizen, duped by Fox News, can seek reliief and maybe even have some credibility with like-minded individuals.
This is an exact happening , the common folk or close resemblance , get to have a say, yea 🙌
...it’s broader expose to the majority’s -our nation’s opinions -all the while overshadowed by the incessant bantering of the Jim Jordan’s , the Tuberville’s and the sickening minority cacophony .
After now years of NOT putting up clear evidence NOT shutting their lying lips NOT honoring their oaths, but with ‘still yet’ malice and deviant intent spewing hatred and placating this treasonous ‘base ‘. All this plus a SCOTUS that hands down verdicts that PUT DOWN trusted relied upon laws and on top of that won’t uphold any collective ethics that all other court appointees have to abide by...
I’m disgusted...period.
I’m so sick of hearing it I have turned off the TV, choose only to stream as NOT to have to listen to incessant commercials touting their product is the best, and delete most emails because they’re all asking for donations near 2 years out from an election . Money has become the driving source vs dedication and protection to principles for ...
WE THE PEOPLE!
The country is fine 🗣️HELLO !!!! 65-70% of which wants the freedoms being taken away by the very people we entrusted to care for it.
As for the people who keep voting the liars back in ...sorry isn’t exactly my sentiment
As for the dark money backing this BS...I hope you get to walk in the moccasins of the people who suffered from your selfish ignorance
As for the ‘Christian’ pastors/fellowship who walked away from His Path ...Lord forgive them ..for they DO know what they DO....
Permitting ‘Letters to an American’ , The Lucid, Hopium, and so many other excellent honest sources ...to be published in every state by the ‘free press’ to avail the majority of TRUTH , of FACTS vs what ifs / the could bes or out and out LIES...is such an excellent idea.
I’m going to VOTE 💙
I’m going to continue to pray for everyone with my tongue properly in my mouth
I’m going to speak out , encourage, and promote Democracy again, and again, and again...
Wow!!! Patricia, I wish I’d met you 40 years ago!!! You are a woman after my heart 💙! I LOVE everything you have said, and honestly, I couldn’t have said it any better! WOW!!!!!!!
Thank you Daniel, we have likely fought/worked for/taught the solutions together anyhow. Writing and my vote is the last vestige to bring what’s needed to the masses. I’m inspired by the best Heather , was my first introduction, and since then many more , many of whom I can afford only their teasers. Going back to the land MANY years ago is a limited income to pick carefully with.
So carry on with your charm , write , and be engaged , inspired, and a purveyor of truth. The world needs this ❤️
Like I said. I don’t know you, personally, but sure wish I did. You definitely sound like a really special woman. And, yes, Heather, E. Jean Carroll, Robert Reich, and several others are whim I read daily on here. There’s others I listen to their video podcast, and read their postings, but I’m unable to afford their subscriptions. On my little law enforcement and firefighting pension and lax social security, I can’t afford many of these subscriptions.
I’d spend over $200 a month if I had it, because since my wife passed last year, and me stint living in the woods and under a bridge before my youngest step-son found me and got me this place, all I have to do every day now is breathe with my oxygen machines, breathing machines, and lay here and read, and write. That’s my life now. Miserable as hell!
Let’s keep meeting like this …🤣🤭 Thank you for your service Daniel, a claim with no minimals, and the many who never could but wanted to….🙌 and enjoy the story too. Prayers for your Mrs. May your writing soar🫶
If the press is allowed to scapegoat ordinary Americans for ratings, what's next? Epps is a Trump fan who actually tried to stop the stampede to the doors of the Capitol on Jan 6th. The irony is that Fox needed to believe in the insurrection and the ludicrous "Stop the Steal," but it couldn't, so it ruthlessly took a man whose only crime was being there and objecting to what was happening, slandered him and ruined his life, for ratings. If a jury doesn't shut down Fox for good, there is no justice left in America.
Well answered by you. If we ever doubted the need for a free press, those doubts should have vanished as soon as fox started spewing lies and trying to kill our country.
We REALLY need to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine. Thanks ronnie raygun!
