I don’t know how I would have made it through these past two years without you and all of the other Substack writers I follow, almost all of whom have been banned from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and any mainstream news outlet for supposedly reporting “misinformation”. When you know deep in your soul that what you’re witnessing isn’t right, it makes you appreciate all the more that there is still at least one outlet that allows people to actually speak freely. I have found a community on here of people that I appreciate and trust, more so than I do some in my own family and circles of friends. Thank you, Chris.

Sounds like Erdely graduated from the Malcolm Gladwell school of journalism. I like Gladwell's storytelling, but his takes, while interesting, are definitely not the objective descriptions of who, what, when, where, and how that count as "reporting." But given his immense popularity, he seems to have spawned a bunch of less talented and less insightful copycats who have destroyed whatever objectivity was left in the journalism profession. That and the need for clicks and the complete ideological capture of the academy by committed Marxists, and now we have news that functions as wannabe storytelling and political activism, instead of the honest journalism our culture needs.

Anyway, thanks for adding your voice (and humor) to the conversation! Your substack is definitely one of the best!
