The app for independent voices

I enjoy RealClear. A lot of other areas of the site are great reading too. RealClearInvestigations does a lot of long-form. I try to choke down articles I know are propaganda or simply contrary to my opinion, just to be sure I am at least trying to avoid my own blind spots. Reading so many sources also exposes an interesting characteristic: which news sources allow comments. I think those more confident in their accuracy and truthful in their reporting allow comments. Not a solid "rule," but a willingness to expose your reporting to criticism and reader opinion says something. I know it often devolves into an obscure fish-tank scum of discussion, but is usually very revealing. I enjoy substack comments nearly as much as the articles I read here (I subscribe to several).
