(Even More)Updated: I promised you I'd send you my list of fact-based news sources and creators and added more to the list.
And here it is. There's no single easy answer. Added the Creators I overlooked before. Thanks for adding them in the comments. Next up, a manifesto on creators working together.
Hi friends,
In the wake of the moral collapse of corporate legacy media, I’ve promised to write up a list of news sources that I follow, and here it is. Sadly there’s no single source that provides all the things. Most of the sources are here on Substack, and others have newsletters, so I wake up and skim the headlines in my email box as an overview.
Also, I’m on Bluesky. Please follow me there: https://bsky.app/profile/freedomoverfascism.bsky.social
And please, please subscribe:
News orgs with reliable, fact-based content.

The Guardian
Philadelphia Inquirer (Will Bunch’s column)
The Nation
The Progressive Magazine
Mother Jones
Independent Journalists/Historians/Commentators: Not in any specific order. I’m sure I’ve forgotten someone, so if you look in my recommendations, you’ll find (many) more. And if there’s someone you think I should be following, please let me know!
