Substack being a place to go is why the mainstream media figures have been trashing it lately. Substack has been denigrated and its political writers, Matt, Greenwald and the bunch, have been smeared for their refusal to bow to the dictates of the self-appointed guardians of the mainstream gate. It's been ugly at times. This for reporting pesky facts in opposition to fantasy scenarios spread relentlessly by the pampered stenographers serving power.
