OG Common Sense subscriber. I have spent a lifetime reputation as a conservative, a Christian, a devotee of thinkers like WFB, Thomas Sowell, Hayek. My right-of-center priors are well-established, in other words. I tell people that my favorite media is led by a woman who, as laid up against all of those priors, is just about my polar opposite. And yet, she exemplifies everything that I admire in our world, and she leads a team that produces the most deeply thoughtful, utterly respectful and fiercely courageous journalism extant. I was inspired to happily pay in the early days in hopes the stated purpose would hold fast. My faith in Bari, and the people around her, is weekly justified. They operate on the leading edge of the news, as the editorial above notes.
David, you captured many of my thoughts. I started following Bari when she and her team launched “Common Sense”. I didn’t get on their bandwagon until recently. Over the years I have been deceived by publications that have implied one thing and did another. Like many, they played to the crowd, dodging anything not “political correct”. Before I coughed up my hard earned cash I wanted to feel sure that they “walked the talk”. While I sometimes sense a political bent, for the most part I believe they are fair and open minded. As an “old foggy” born in the dust-bowl depression era I feel no one cares what those of my generation have to say. The same can be said by the younger generations. What has inspired and invigorated me the most about Free Press is that voices are being heard and stories being told that are touching the hearts and minds of grassroots Americans. In this malaise our country as drifted into, it’s refreshing and inspiring to see and feel there is still goodness and hope that the American Dream is still alive.
