@fonecokid I'm torn. We need actual journalists more than ever but I just can't right now. I suppose substack has a funding system that is more direct but I don't know how it could scale. I may subscribe to a local paper, up my contribution to local npr station (I know, I know), maybe give propublica a subscription. The Washington post and LA times are in the process of capitulation and hemorrhaging decent journalists. We need real reporting even if we can't stomach the news right now.
