Many of you are deeply frustrated by the rapid decline of legacy media and have asked what independent sources I trust for news, information and analysis.
So, today I sent Democracy Docket members a list of the 17 newsletters I subscribe to. https://www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

The "legacy media" needs to die a quick and natural death.
Hi, Bluesky 👋
We're the Guardian's US newsroom.
You can find our starter pack of @us.theguardian.com journalists here: https://go.bsky.app/LcZs9SB
I don't watch any other US media.
I know how important it is to stay informed, especially as a senior, but it's getting exhausting looking for free sites that give you the full story without slamming a pay wall in front of you.

Thank you
User growth failed to meet goals. They couldn't get additional investors or a buyer, so Post News closed down.
😢
But some people want everything for free, they won't even pay pennies to read a well researched article by an expert.
For example I am middle class but can’t subscribe to 10+ subscriptions just to stay informed.
How about merging of subscriptions or sponsors (ACLU), to make it free?
this shit has been going on since the raygun gutted the fairness doctrine, but otay

Citizens who haven't owned an idiot box since 1988 but thanks for the heads up
Used to buy one or two newspapers and get read dozens of columnists.
And I hope you apply this same standard to MSNBC and CNN, who constantly platform ACTUAL bad actors like Liz Cheney.
I subscribe to several on the list, but also recommend
Just Security- The Early Edition, Today on Just Security
analysis of security, foreign policy
Marc Jacobs- Stop the Presses
Timothy Snyder- Thinking About

Trump supporters, fake ministers, & bigots are about to disappear
Everyone that remains will celebrate🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🎉
Fake ministers know the Bible is telling them to return the money & Matthew 19:12 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️says God prefers same-sex marriage
Starting to treat y'all like niggas
F@!k NPR
See how people get poor? And can no longer afford information on democracy?
I’m not suggesting they sell diet pills, but there needs to be a bigger and more accessible media ecosystem on the Democrat side.
Seems sus
Almost like “new/alternative/independent” media is open for corporate investment 🤔
Is corporate media not a more accurate term?

Give me an example of how these people lost white women all by themselves and not the democrat party failing in epic ways, please.
It's all white women. That's one reason Trump won. People don't listen to podcasts, folks don't have cable. People listen to people in their community. That's what we have to do to get out in the community.
That's my example.
Case in point:

is also an important and excellent source of corporate-free news and information.
Please read
Here's the problem—"low-information voters" aren't going to pay $$ to be informed. As long as "information" costs money, the people who need it most won't get it.
I appreciate the list of newsletters, but we need FREE, factual information to make informed decisions.
People are accustomed to turning on the TV to receive news, not entertainment. We need a new trustworthy news station to watch Marc Elias, Mueller, she wrote, and all 17 folks he endorsed.

These are my favorite free YouTube channels. I do donate here and there because it's so important to me these people keep doing actual journalism.
Expert insight & truth must be paid for.
