I am hopeful that the 2024 election was the last straw for trusting the legacy media to serve as a check on political rot and authoritarianism. Good luck to Jen Rubin and Norm Eisen as they launch The Contrarian. contrarian.substack.com/p/welcome-to... - ThreadSky

It was for me. I don't watch of legacy media anymore.

dingarcia.bsky.social•104 days ago

Possibly. In 2016 and 2020, many of the right started to have doubts and in 2024, probably many of the left too.

2024 was the last Democratic election. Trump and his administration will never give up the power again. Can’t believe how democrats allowed this slow walking coup to occur. Republicans walked all over democrats. Democrats was a weak, old party of the past.

cdriscoll.bsky.social•101 days ago

Not slow walking. This nightmare began in 1986 with the deregulation of news media, was furthered by the repeal of the fairness doctrine, and cemented by the Citizens United decision. I’ve been screaming about this for years.

Sorry.
I never liked Jen Rubin’s politics.

This should be a great show

The best to you two!

We are going through the exact same thing in Canada - there is no Liberal bias in the media - it is a male bias in the media. News by and for MEN

I just subscribed! It's great seeing all of these independent journalists starting networks!!

johnlcorbett.bsky.social•105 days ago

Yes, this seems like something genuinely new.

cate79.bsky.social•104 days ago

Just listened to your first interview with Amy and it was great. Also liked the video clips Senator Hirono.

vanja-s.bsky.social•105 days ago

I am really happy about that…but they’ll be in an echo chamber. To attract people who don’t care much about news or to convert some MAGAts to vote blue, we need some kind TV/cable channel. I haven’t watched news in years but would have this one on.

moodybkues1973.bsky.social•104 days ago

We really need this now!

chattykath1.bsky.social•104 days ago

I signed up yesterday...🩷
I need to have a source for news I trust...

smrs333.bsky.social•105 days ago

the election was stolen. The reason not to trust legacy media is that they don't seem to want to talk about it. Neither do dem politicians https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3-jqU8m-80

homerophile.bsky.social•104 days ago

Yup.
Purely crickets.
Where are the inside the campaign exposes of hand wringing over "irregularities"?
All silenced.
Big gaslight going down.

chaispiceruby.bsky.social•104 days ago

Nope. They got off to a bad start today, criticizing President Biden for Trump’s win. Already unfollowed The Contrarian.

lastbestplace.bsky.social•104 days ago

I'm on board. Jennifer Rubin is one of my favorite opinion writers. Another big hit for the WaPo that Bezos is destroying.

progalaskan.bsky.social•104 days ago

Yep, said exactly that yesterday when I signed up.
My WaPo subscription renews at the end of this month and seriously, with Jennifer Rubin gone, there are fewer and fewer reasons to read Bezos’ rag.

progalaskan.bsky.social•104 days ago

I am here to attest that the first day’s material is already excellent.

ria-1216.bsky.social•104 days ago

Good luck👏💪
