I’ve been finding Glenn’s content hard to follow despite wanting more critical, independent journalism very badly. It feels contrarian and insubstantial since his exit from The Intercept, though. I haven’t read anything insightful or informative from him. I don’t mean to rain on things. I would like to be more excited about independent journalism (and I was until I read it - I subscribed to his content immediately) but I’m really struggling to find much more value in the content than anywhere else. What do you like about it? That’s a sincere question. Maybe I’m out of line here, not reading closely, being grumpy, something.

I didn’t read Greenwald before, and I don’t read him now. I included him in the list because he did attract a large following during the Bush era. I wasn’t a huge fan of Taibbi either, but his interview with Megyn Kelly really made me give him a second look. He’s has kids now (three, ages 2-6) and seems much mellower and down to earth. I’ve consistently liked Klein and Yglesias. Both very detail oriented. By the way, Jane Coaston who does Weeds with them is a superstar. She’s on The Argument now too. (Both the NYT and Vox are vastly better and more nuanced in their Podcasts than their print media.)
