As a reader of both papers I was surprised by your strong critique of the NYT and Washington Post. We greatly differ on that score. Correct me if I'm wrong in assuming that your have diligently read both papers up until recently. Thank you.

Mea culpa. Both outlets have done some outstanding investigative journalism. But I do not find what HCR offers; a daily capsule of critical political news which is well referenced & provides contextual meaning.

Thank you, mfabel. You appear to have made an important correction. To have compared both The New York Times and the Washington Post as 'shallow, poorly documented on a par with college undergrad output' and the rest of what you initially wrote was egregious, incorrect and uncalled for. I hope, in the future, you will be thoughtful and truthful in what you express.

Yes, I try to be “thoughtful & truthful” & appreciate the push back…

Thank you, mfabel. It wasn't an easy exchange between us, but we were honest with one another. We're always learning. I think each of us came away better than before. Peace.

2 other political news feeds that I am analyzing:

1) Tangle- Issac Saul-https://www.readtangle.com/posts/kyle-rittenhouse-verdict/

I appreciate reading opposing arguments.

2) The EditorialBoard - John Stoehr.

Just starting to look at this. https://www.editorialboard.com/search/

interesting-

Neither provides the historical context like HCR. But the former is pretty balanced & the later thought provoking at least.

mfabel, Have been been following the series by the Washington Post called, The Attack, which is revelatory about the coup to prevent the transfer of power? It is not clear to me about whether you have rejected the the most serious journalism being produced in the country.

Not closely enough! You are right; it could be one of the most important/relevant pieces of journalism this century. Appreciate you!
