The First Million Free Pressers
We have an ambitious goal. And we need your help to get there.
We’ve come a long way.
As of today, there are about 915,000 Free Pressers. That’s something like eight University of Michigan football stadiums. It’s incredible.
More and more people are realizing that we need a news source that reflects reality. And perhaps nothing made that clearer than what happened on November 5. The people that still depend on the legacy press were shocked by the outcome of the election. Those that rely on The Free Press weren’t.
That’s because we live in the real world—and we are building a community of independent Americans who want to do the same.
If you’re here, we know it’s not just because you want fearless, independent journalism for yourself. It’s because you want it for other people, too. Free Pressers tell us again and again that we’re not just a media company—we’re a public trust.
So we’re setting an ambitious goal for the rest of this year. By December 31, 2024, we want to get to a million subscribers.
Why a million? Because a million is a big, flashy goal. It’s our Super Heavy booster catch. It’s like ten Michigan stadiums.
Also: I am not allotted a single day of vacation until we do.
But we aren’t going to get there on our own. We need your help. And we want to make it worth your while.
If you refer 10 people to The Free Press—just get them to sign up for the free version— we’ll give you six months of a paid subscription for free. If you refer 20 people, we’ll give you a whole year.
And whichever one of you decides to go all out and get us 500 subscribers, I can promise you a lifetime subscription, our pre-worn, signed TGIF socks—or at the very least, a Zoom with Nellie and me.
Here is the link. Share it far and wide. Or click the button just below. If you aren’t yet a paid subscriber, click here.
One million people committed to honest, dogged, and ferociously independent journalism.
Let’s go.
Nope. The FP is not Common Sense, which is what I was promised. There is little difference in what is chosen to be covered, and more importantly what is chosen NOT to be covered, by the The FP Editors and what is covered and what is chosen not to be covered in The New York Times. My subscription is cancelled. I will not tell anyone else to spend their money here to be lied to by omission.
You, Bari Weiss, must answer for the voluminous amount of newsworthy stories that your Editors like Oliver Wiseman and Joe Nocera purposefully ignored during this election cycle because it was good news for Trump and bad news for Harris.
– You ignored RFKjr dropping out of the race, giving one of the greatest political speeches in American history, and endorsing Trump
– You ignored Tulsi Gabbard endorsing Trump
–You ignored RFKjr and Tulsi joining Trump's transition team
– You ignored almost all of Tim Walz's lies, including being in Hong Kong during Tiananmen Square, and two writers actually tried to excuse his Stolen Valor here
– You ignored all credible evidence of Doug Emhoff being a misogynist who was sued for sexual harassment, on top of being a woman-beating, wife-cheating, nanny-impregnating-and-possibly-beat-so-bad-she-miscarried-and-then-paid-her-off piece of crap
– You ignored how Harris's border policies PURPOSEFULLY let in 600K known criminal illegal aliens, including 15K rapists and 13K murderers
– You ignored the 325K+ missing children who were let in to the country and given to adults with no proof that they were family, going so far as to not even mentioning the Biden-Harris border policy in your big child sex ring story which is absolutely ludicrous and incredulous
– You ignored how FEMA, without Congressional Oversight, decided on their own to take money meant for disaster relief and reallocated it to illegal immigrant resettlement, and credible on the ground witnesses saying FEMA was ignoring them
– You ignored Harris's awful response to the Hurricane Helene victims, including her laughably horrible photo op where she's staring at blank papers and pretending to listen to a phone call without her earbuds plugged into her phone
– You ignored the ABC News Whistleblower who came forward, under punishment of perjury, to provide proof that ABC and Harris colluded to cheat during the most recent debate
– You ignored all of the news coming out of Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Colorado that proved the election rigging in those states during the 2020 election, including the case of Tina Peters where she had verifiable proof that the Dominion Voting Machines were tampered with which we've all been told is "impossible”
– You ignored Kamala Harris plagiarizing great swaths of her book
– You ignored Trump’s well-received event at McDonalds
– You ignored Trump's podcast with Joe Rogan in which we were shown that Trump very much isn't Hitler
– You ignored all that but found the time to write FIVE articles about a podcast guest Tucker Carlson once had on who was admittedly an idiot, but they have ignored almost every single instance of the legacy media, Biden, Harris, and Walz calling Trump and his supporters Hitler, fascists, Nazis, and now garbage. Where were the five think pieces about Biden called Trump supporters "garbage," Bari? Where are they??? Still waiting.
I have loved you all so far........
However, I have noticed you are starting to shift a bit left.......?
Please stay in your lane: the lane of being unbiased, impartial, curious, open-minded and disinclined to believe in groupthink.
