Thank you for this. I he’s in my feed a lot and I knew he was problematic, but this makes me pause a lot. I appreciate the alternative resources on BlueSky! Proud and humble paid subscriber here. Appreciate you!
Wow I have subscribed to Parnas but had zero clue of how he gets his sources, I figured they came from his own investigation process. Now I understand he can’t be everywhere all the time. I tend to stay away from mainstream journalism because it’s too scripted & I seek truth no matter what the outcome is. I don’t want to be coddled so I can have a feel warm & fuzzy with a false sense of security. I’m a realist in every level. I appreciate your honesty & candor. Thanks for passing on this information ✨
Thanks, MsYuse. I’m curious what you think of my Bluesky lists. Check them out. When something happens in the news go to the Legal Experts list or the Diverse Opinion list to get experts and scholars take instead of the media you are not feeling. And see what the newsrooms I have in The News list say about what’s going on. I’d love feedback on if it works for you or not and why.
Ok I found you on Bluesky however I’m not sure where to find the other ones. I’m going to law school so I’d like to know where to find a legal expert list without having to pay a premium fee for their opinions. I’m a gulf war veteran & trying to learn how to navigate the internet better. Any & all advice is appreciated & welcomed. Thank you for sharing this information ✨
Finally! Someone speaks the truth about this guy! And he’s everywhere,I can’t get away from this kid. His father will do anything to make a buck and in my opinion his son isn’t much different.
His father is Lev Parnas, Trump fixer in the first administration. He’s trying very hard to turn his life around and try to make right out of the fucking mess he contributed to. His information regarding Ukraine/Russia is more than you will see, hear, or read anywhere guaranteed. Like him or hate him, his sources are not mainstream media for sure because his reporting is days and weeks ahead of theirs if mainstream reports on it at all.
Thanks for sharing your opinion, Nancy. He literally gets his information from mainstream media in addition to other sources sometimes. When he cites sources in his videos they are mainstream sources. Articles written by journalists who need jobs in order for Aaron to make money off their work. He’s getting lots of news to people. He has to honor and uplift the journalism that is allowing him to do that. Thanks.
You’re correct Brian. Excuse me my mistake. I was referring to his father Lev’s sources, but it wasn’t written that way. I came across wrong. I do follow his father Lev, he is usually spot on before mainstream.
Brian - you have made an excellent point here about Aaron Parnas. I hope that he listens to you. I think his ‘news’ providing motive is probably good . Not sure until you pointed this out , if he realized that he was so greatly undermining the very factual pro democracy media he claims to support. But u are right - what he is doing is no better than AI generated summary content . Thank u for writing this . Pls also add Courier Newsroom to your list of independent media sources. As u know I write for them & they strive very hard to provide factual local & national news to their audiences while also fighting for funding like most of the other media you are highlighting. Thank u for your excellent work, Brian! @Mediaanddemocracyproject.
Your article is really good. The difference between journalism and AI is real. I never thought about the things you mentioned. I have seen some negative statements about him but never have I read it explained like you and it does make a lot of sense. To get true verified journalism that is apolitical and Truthful. Many say journalism is dead because of the oligarchs take over of what they are allowed to say about the regime. I joined substack a few months ago and have published a few articles and have some subscribers, none paid, hell most not read😂I appreciate you thoughts n and views and agree. thank you.
Aaron Parnas is a boring and low level journalist. I get turned off very quickly watching only a few seconds of his reporting. He has a drab voice and like you said “no sourcing”. Thanks for this article.
There’s no transcript, no sourcing, no corroboration, and no independent reporting behind Vindman’s tease — just emotional language (‘bombshell,’ ‘worse than Zelensky’) designed to drive engagement. This same narrative about a ‘Saudi call’ has circulated half a dozen times over the years and has never produced anything verifiable.
Pairing it with the Epstein files bill is a classic tactic:
bundle a high-emotion topic with a low-evidence claim to make the latter feel more credible. It’s content architecture, not journalism.
If and when there’s actual documentation — not teasers, not adjectives — then it’s worth discussing. Until then, you’re being pulled into a hype cycle built to farm outrage and clicks.
Thanks for your opinion, Vincent. As I said elsewhere in a comment, I wanna know how you feel about the Bluesky lists. Check them out. When something happens in the news go to the Legal Experts list or the Diverse Opinion list to get experts and scholars take instead of the media you are not feeling. And see what the newsrooms I have in The News list say about what’s going on. I’d love feedback on if it works for you or not and why.
For me, Parnas is a direct link to truthful news. The networks, now controlled by conglomerates, lost the ability to actually report truthfully and without bias. For example, CNN came up during the Gulf War, and I watched because my husband was in it and it gave up to the date news. CNN no longer updates their site very often. Thanks for sharing your viewpoint and your works. I will no longer go to network news until it revives its integrity and breaking stories, no matter the subject or who owns it. Carry on😎❤️
The reason @Aaron Parnas is doing well is because he reports the stuff main street media doesn’t or won’t. When I realized TV news was nothing more than propaganda I looked for another way to stay informed, Substack delivered and one of the people consistently delivering is Aaron.
Prediction: he will point to his very most recent posts where he has hyperlinked half of his summaries to “prove” that he does this diligently every time. 🤷♂️
Interesting perspective. That being said, it’s hard to believe the death of journalism can be impacted by one source. It seems to me journalism is changing, not necessarily being killed, where quick soundbites are as valuable as depth of reporting.
Mmmmm. Thanks. I like Parnas. It’s quick concise and timely. I do read the stories from the sources.
BUT this man has a point.
Let’em know! Thanks.
He a Zionist….he can’t even pretend to be honest about the genocide in Palestine.
Thank you for this. I he’s in my feed a lot and I knew he was problematic, but this makes me pause a lot. I appreciate the alternative resources on BlueSky! Proud and humble paid subscriber here. Appreciate you!
I am so grateful for your support, Tracy. I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOUR SIDE! ;)

I had not considered that he was effectively just curating other reporters work, thank you for the perspective!

Ask him about the genocide in Palestine…

I wonder what makes you say that, Jonna. He literally reports the stuff ‘Main Street media’ generates. As shown in this article.
Perhaps I’m not sure what you are calling “Main Street” media. Please elaborate. If there is a more direct source for good information I’m interested.
I disagree with your opinion. Thanks for getting his name out, though!! Now more people will watch him!
I just asked him to address your concerns.
He will not like this.
Let’s see what he has to say.
Prediction: he will point to his very most recent posts where he has hyperlinked half of his summaries to “prove” that he does this diligently every time. 🤷♂️

I go with Parnas. MSM is not trustworthy anymore.
