Do people believe the numbers that The Free Press and Substack put out? In an America where only 15% of people pay for any news at all, they claim to have a lot of subscribers. Anecdotes are flimsy evidence, but when I ask around most people in my social orbit have never even heard of The Free Press.

Most people have also never heard of Bluesky or Substack, yet there are many millions on them... unfortunately, I can believe the numbers. The extent of billionaire propaganda cannot be stressed enough, so I wouldn't ever try to downplay it.

The content is so lame, though. Sigh. Everyone’s doing the best they can with what they have I suppose.

Money buys the attention of the masses more than anything, unfortunately.

I think they're including their free subscribers in the overall total, of which they claim to have over a million now...

Oh she’s funded by that billionaire Soros, right? Billionaires are so awful aren’t they.

Hi. George Soros is not one of her backers as far as I can tell.

Of course she isn’t funded by Soros. I was just making fun of the horror at the idea of billionaires when so much of the far left shit show is funded by Soros

Still wondering what you mean. Thanks!

What does that mean? What is the far left shit show and what is Soros funding that’s part of that? You should listen to my podcast. We speak to this. https://youtube.com/shorts/76WtEhZnpfw?si=VnZip6ZOMdbidrLw

The title of this story takes me back to my Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer days in 2016 - all of the promo emails were signed 'Paid for by Bernie 2016 (not the billionaires).' Man that was a different era.

Does it seem odd to anyone else that these “we must preserve our history” people seem to focus solely on the worst aspects of human history? Nazis, Confederates, and the like?
