Good piece Steve! Yep… the only problem with a capitalist society is the capitalism. The greedy capitalist always wants more, and then they want power and control… and here we are. Keep up the good fight!!

Thanks, Dana. My hope is that people will become more discerning consumers of news. It breaks my heart to see what has happened to The Post.

Excellent piece Valkano, and this of course is why I canceled my WaPo account. Substack in my view has become today's mainstream truthful and accurate media. The big boys have all capitulated in one way or another.

Did you see that CBS' new evening news anchor signed off on Tuesday night with “Marco Rubio, we salute you. You’re the ultimate Florida man.”?

As a famous man once said: "I shit you not."

So glad I singled out CBS in my piece.

Thanks, Steve. Yes, I am spending a small fortune on 7 Substacks in addition to many newspaper subscriptions in my state to keep up with the news. Help!

It's certainly a challenge to stay informed. Hope somebody at Substack takes my suggestion to create a news site using the content on their platform.
