Why subscribe? Why not? What is the worst thing that could happen?

News is a mess. Having watched my alma mater CNN descend into some kind of talk factory, I feel a certain responsibility to balance things out. Journalism still matters. Staying informed with facts and reliable information is no longer as easy as it sounds. It’s time to trust again and I am hoping with this occasional, sometimes idiosyncratic news prose, distributed by my friends at Substack, I will enlighten & levitate your news mood. There are also going to be giveaways if you share this newsletter with friends, family & even foes. Oh, at some point I’m going to need to ask you for money - to subscribe. Real news doesn't grow on trees.

Stay up-to-date
