We're so wrapped up in our bubbles that we actively reject people or stories who don't align with our own views. But there IS an audience, albeit one which is harder to find and cultivate, seeking independent, straight, factual news that challenges our own views and biases.

Sadly, It's a rare thing these days when you disagree with someone, but still value their opinion... But the push and pull factors continue to place us in echo chambers which is dangerous AND boring. People need to start thinking independently and critically (again?).

The number of likes/followers are a proxy of marketing potential (how much your are worth to Twitter in monetizing their platform), not a proxy of credibility. Independence/free thinking is a lonely condition.

Agreed. Keep chipping away though, man. You're one of the very few that even tries to straddle the line between the poles. Much appreciated.

1/ I think the right have been propagandized for a long time by right wing radiostations, that they are now beyond saving. You could say the same about the liberal middleclass workers who are not poor enough to really care and therefor follow mainstream media as their only source

No offense- but in this thinkpiece era, there are many inconsistencies & bankrupt narratives in the name of new insight. New insight is what the new media industry is incentivized toward, no? This is how the professionalization of the left has created its own unethical corruption

I highly doubt any other designated left politics field one could get away with it, to a large following & make money in so doing.

Independent analysis is rare nowadays. Virtually everybody sticks to the script, regardless of facts, for their fixed mindset audience. This is the real tragedy of our times; the incredible polarisation taking place. Please stick to it - you are needed more than ever before.

This is enlightening. The pressure to preserve follower counts, which are career currency for writers in today's market, must be a driving force behind the creation of these journalists who act as movement leaders.
