My Go-To Source

I've been reading since the early days of "Common Sense" (thank you, youngest bro-in-law). The Free Press has become my go-to source for in-depth reporting. There are different viewpoints on the same issues and I appreciate that so much. I find excellent articles I would have found nowhere else on important subjects like higher education, law, the rise in antisemitism, as well as thoughtful commentary and - what?! - great humor. Thank you to the staff and other supporters.

Finally, normal people!

I subscribed to the TFP approximately six months ago as a childhood friend kept referring to the well written articles. It is not afraid to report fearlessly, regardless of political agenda. As a Nurse Practitioner, I do wish their medical reporting was more robust. Looking for contributors from the purple state of Pennsylvania ;)?

Most reliable publication

Constant supply of interesting news and analysts that I can rely on.

LEFT BIAS - Not centrist as advertised.

I thought this would be a center view unbiased app. Many articles don’t bother to show both sides to an argument. Just leaning left.

I’m sure people on the left love having another echo chamber that does nothing to solve the division in our country.

The Best

TFP is one of a kind. It opens minds.
