(And why, for that matter, might she be less than compelled to engage with an outlet that would strive to sound lofty by needlessly dropping the word “neigh” into a tweet? Just…don’t.)

Well said, Mr. Cohen. One other point: The NYT reporter misspelled "nigh" as "neigh." Then again, when you're profiling a horse's ass, "neigh" is a natural mistake!

That's exactly what I thought. Had me wondering if it was an intentional mistake, but then I remembered the source!

Brian and Heather Cox Richardson were my introduction to alternative media sources during the Mueller led Russia investigation. Since the, I almost exclusively get my news from writers and journalists on Substack. And I support as many as I can by paying for subscription. I canceled my subscriptions to the NY Times and The Atlantic. (Although I may renew at list a digital subscription to the Atlantic for their in depth articles). I also still listen to NPR.

So thank you, Brian Tyler Cohen for introducing me to a new way of staying informed.

Are you sure that Bamboo Harvester (aka Mr Ed) didn't tweet that?

Thanks for this take on the media. I dumped them in favor of online news like your "No Lie" and Meidas Touch early in the pandemic.

I'm glad we have your voice to reach voters, especially younger and first-time voters. Sources like you are going to make a huge difference in young-voter turnout.

Thanks for all you do. We're in this together.

My husband thinks Maher is funny. I can't stand him! I think he's smug, pompous, and condescending!
