News and Analysis
Daily SUBSTACK newsletters
In this environment, where traditional media outlets are having to defend against lawsuits, where journalists chase after the latest splashy headlines, where do we go to learn about what happened today?
Many of those involved in our group have found that the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, and other “news” outlets are lacking.
While some of these sources do almost seem to be “compromised” in their integrity these days, normalizing the behaviors that once would have been forbidden, we do turn to some sources that can help us filter out the noise and focus on what has been really happening.
A few of our favorite sources of current news and information and analysis, historical perspectives, and information about ongoing ways to engage in the practice of saving democracy are listed here.
