Slightly Modified Establishment Journalism

Yasha Levine show how much a lie it is that Substack represents anything other than the establishment itself.  Truly independent journalists like him are the clickbait Substack uses while their algorithms try to steer you to preferred establishment types, like Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi, whose aura he deftly punches.

It's much like the real alternatives are merely the sizzle to sell the steak.
