I'm a retired journalist and policy wonk from western Washington. I tend to post on a mix of national and regional political issues, often from an environmental angle. I mostly share information rather than try to debate in social media sound bites.
I don't spend enough time on Bluesky to assess your criticism, but I would invite you to do some self-reflection about LGM. It has arguably succumbed to some of social media's worst dysfunctions, yet there doesn't seem to be much commitment to modeling media reform through internal improvements.

Agreed. If money were no object I would be delighted to subscribe to a bunch of solo newsletters. Alas, I live on a fixed income so need to be selective -- and that usually means subscribing to publications with multiple writers. I suspect that a recession will lead to more media collaborations.

1) Polls have long shown public concerns about Biden's fitness to serve another term. They may have been fueled by lopsided coverage, but age is still a legitimate issue.
2) A core responsibility of the press is to explore emerging issues, even if that means getting "ahead" of public opinion.
