This is what I don’t subscribe to WAPO or NYT times anymore and can’t turn on the tv news(only substacks from real journalidts for me)-it’s all GOP apologist trash or full of bothsidesing, horse race coverage, false equivalency, just accepting GOP framing (“the crisis at the border!”you mean the one GOP intentionally created by refusing requested funding and gutting immigration courts? People attempting to come to our country and migrate is normal and has always occurred and we should have the apparatus to respond to predictable surges caused by global crises but I digress

Often true, but not always. I think it's because WE are so sided by now we cannot stand the other opinion. But the news is a business. I get angry when news reporting is biased, often headlines are, but biased towards the OTHER side. I am sick of it. But I cannot give up NYT or WAPO because they are the most reputable ( and often differ). MSM we have and often are cited. The opinions that are my sided are bolstering (to be honest) and the comments often give me faith. Although faith in the readers does not translate into faith in the electorate.

Substacks are great. But this is part of "The Great Sort".. the channeling and dividing of the country. Cable News is MSNBC opinion, CNN , FOX (disgusting) WE listen to BBC now more often. As for money spent.. I am spending more on my news. I think if anyone has to cut back for this reason it's understandable.

I share your views! The "other side" needs to hear them.
