I'll keep my eye out for articles and I will look for your book.

Best of luck to you.

I am so grateful for substack.

I refuse to buy any of the major papers here in the US even when the Wapo and NYT are offering me deals for a $1 a month. Useless rags. I do not have cable because I find the news on CNN, MSNBC, FOX and the major networks to be no better than cheap propaganda.

YET....I pay over $200 a year for substack subscriptions for only 4 authors because they are worth reading.

Sadly I would add the WSJ to your list of useless rags. I hold my subscription there for the editorials only, even as the front page "news" becomes increasingly irrelevant.

Wrong - it’s the NYTIMES that’s off the rails. Cancelled that a few years ago when it was obviously woke’. the WSJ is about the only paper reporting the news.

I think the point is that everybody KNOWS the NYT is that. The others used to be alternatives, but no longer are

I thought about adding that to the list....came really close. Tragic, I used to really look forward to buying a copy.

Me too. It’s gone the wrong direction, as did The Economist several years ago.

Oh God...The Economist. There is nothing economic in it anymore. Its just progressive politics and geopolitics from a progressive POV.

Canceled my subscription years ago.

Thanks to above posters for pointing out the loss of The Economist and the WSJ. With regards to the latter, it has also become very poorly written, almost embarrassing at times. If those are the best young writers the Ivy League can turn out, they are pathetic, indeed
