I find it hilarious that anyone who is a serious newspaperman could state that the Mueller Report was an accomplishment for the mainstream media is mind-boggling. It was one of the most horrifying journalistic travesties in all of our lifetimes. "The Mueller report documented dozens and dozens of interactions between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives." NO, actually the Mueller Report clearly stated in 4 PLACES that the report could not establish ANY IMPROPER CONTACTS BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND ANY RUSSIANS. It literally says that FOUR TIMES!

Mainstream media makes it all about Democrats vs. Republicans. The reality is that the electorate is over 40% Independents, and "leaners" doesn't really cover it. Democrats have a bigger problem i think in that they assume that if we're not Republicans, we have nowhere else to go. The tried their best to shove Hillary Clinton down our throats, and it turned out that we actually did have somewhere else to go. Whether it was third party, write in, Trump, or the couch.

The Democratic media seems to have the same problem. If we're not interested in Fox News, we have no alternative than to read the Wapo or the NYT or the other Dem mags, and swallow their biases and viewpoints and agendas whole. Well, Substack gives us somewhere to go, no wonder they're crapping bricks. And what should make them crap even more is that we're a range from Bernie supporters disgusted with the Dems over to conservatives disgusted with the Republicans. And we have common ground. Never stop, Matt, and thank you.
