How about when she writes that she is more likely to trust Matt Taibbi for apologizing, and praising NYTimes for their stellar coverage of the Freedom Convoy. I try and read her tgifs with an open mind, but every single word oozes of prejudice. At this rate I will soon unsubscribe.

Well, you do what you feel is best for you, but I would caution you, because the purpose of this site, as I see it, is to provide a variety of voices, and that of course will mean coming up against people with whom you disagree.
Leaving because you disagree instead of continuing to engage is how we've gotten into the trouble we're currently facing as a culture. No one is willing to enter into honest discourse anymore. No one wants to hear contrary ideas. When you allow yourself to be siloed, you're only hurting yourself in the end.
I'm a fairly liberal guy, maybe a bit of a contrarian liberal, definitely more moderate, and I see I lot of other moderates here and a lot of conservatives, too. The one thing we seem to share, because we definitely don't agree on everything, is a willingness to read and listen, even when we disagree.
I think Nellie makes some good points on some issues, and I think she is wrong on some issues. I'll voice my opinion on both, and then I'll go about my day and not let it affect my own disposition. That's the way these things should go. That so many people allow disagreement and agreement to affect them in any kind of meaningful way in their actual lives is just absolutely ridiculous, and again, a big reason as to why our culture seems so broken right now.
Well said Matthew, and I did think about that, am I just looking for voices I agree with? I think it may be NellieтАЩs writing that I find so disingenuous. I find her lacking a depth of knowledge that I found from other writers on this Substack and others. Or perhaps I am expecting too much, this substack is a series of opinion pieces, and journalism sometimes gets lost.
