Thank you for admitting this, TC. I was doubtful last week but read what you have to say because I trust you more than the mainstream media. Unfortunately The NY Times, et al., have handed him a mandate with their giant headlines about his Sweeping Win, etc. People remember that and forget about the actual numbers. BTW I am cancelling my subscription to the NY Times and am giving the money to better causes. And I’ll keep reading and subscribing to TAFM.

Thank you, Lia. One thing I have (finally) learned is that you can admit to a screwup early or late. Early is easier and better.

I always think that admitting is better than "leaning in." Shows character. And wisdom.

Don’t you know that’s true Tom, early is easier and better. 🙏

I dropped the NYT after 2016 and my WaPo sub is running out. I'm continuing with the Guardian and supplementing it with other media and Substacks that cover areas I'm especially interested in. It works pretty well!

Susanna, I dropped WaPo over a year ago. It’s sad that we can’t trust the media for fair, un- sensationalistic coverage!

Trump was going to get his revenge against the "fake news," but he may not have to since they seem to like defeating themselves.
