"Some people are turning to alternative media to find options that are neither reactionary ideologues or self-righteous woke yelling. Can you blame them?"

Nope. Definitely cannot blame them. It's why I'm here.

Would love to hear more on why you hold that position on Klein

A year late commenting on this one but this Dave Weige/Felicia Sonmez mess at the WaPo is just more of what you're talking about. The world reporters live in is bonkers.

Very thought provoking piece. Thank you.

Where do you see, in your opinion, the mainstream media in 10 years? 20 years?

Are we witnessing the death of a titan? Or just a hibernation until a new guard comes of age and takes power? Genuinely curious of your take.

I’m going to comment here on the post above you wrote today and from which you understandably disabled comments.

I just want to say that I think you should be forgiven. I think you should receive absolution, in fact. I think people should entirely move on and let it be in the past. You actually do deserve that and I wish you felt that way and that everyone else did too. You had a psychotic break and made untrue accusations for which you later retracted and apologized. I think this is entirely forgivable. I’m glad you’re being published in major outlets again. You merit that, too.

Prostitution as the oldest profession might make it our progenitor and if you partake in the world maybe you occasionally will need to whore yourself. The self aggrandizing 5th estate types are to highfaluting to face this possibility. The end of history - it simply doesn’t apply to them.

I work in industry, nothing fancy. In that world everyone gets it - you gotta serve somebody - we walk in the footsteps of our great progenitor, we know it, hey I make $135, I see what working poor live, pass.

Freddie suggests the CRT/woke takeover of the media industry is bad for business, economically unwise. Okay. But it was also so enticing, so very delicious, so harmonious with their bigotry, irresistible in its main proposition - time to put the poorly educated, the not so smart, the Rabble in their place. Schadenfreude: after four years of Trump they are seething, they’ve gone down the rabbit hole, true believers. I highly doubt they can change. Way to go substack!

I remember that there were many more comments on this post. Is my memory faulty?
