Always valuable, always work reading. Though I find the L-C-R breakdown a bit predictable, like I could write a template. L is "too emotional" - C "presents the facts" - R is "in denial." But which facts are present, or not? Whose emotions are justifiable? I find the national vs. international comparison to be more interesting, as it offers new insights.

Michelle's "Becoming" highlights the power of community to bridge our divides and the spirit of connection that comes when we openly and honestly share our stories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wePNJGL7nDU

How much Trump regime corruption & racism is too much?

The Lyin’ King & his unhinged bottom feeders are having trouble keeping their lies & propaganda about election fraud & the Obamas straight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcLKKULnERc

I have read other posts by you and decided to try a free subscription. I read this post up to the point where you have placed CBS News as a "centrist" news source. Sorry, but that is pretty much gone, IMHO. If you think that is centrist, then I have to recalibrate what I thought you were.

Paul, appreciate you giving it a shot.

On “centrist,” I’m not giving CBS a halo or a purity test; I’m describing how that outlet handled this specific story (more process, official statements, and what’s on the record, less overt ideological language). If you read CBS as right-leaning overall, that’s a fair read, and I’m not here to litigate anybody’s brand.

My aim with Spin Spectrum is to help readers see the different angles so they can triangulate the facts, not to tell you who to trust. Either way, thanks for reading as far as you did.

I can subscribe from 15 substacks for the same price as the NYT and get different points of view that includes the NYT coverage. What you're describing is "Legalized Murder." I'm working on part three of my substact series by that name. Thanks for sharing your insights. I invite you to read mine. See you in comments. Take care.
