If you haven’t heard of me, it’s because I’ve spent most of my career behind the scenes writing and producing for Dan Rather, Keith Olbermann, Chris Hayes, Lawrence O’Donnell, Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper, Marc Maron, and a ton of other folks.
Even when it wasn’t part of my job, I’ve always broken news, breaking stories about the powerful and how the system is rigged against the powerless. Without trafficking in speculation or outrage-bait. Far too much of our journalism — from fringe to mainstream — is focused on feeding us info-bits that feel like they mean something (about what’s going to happen, or who someone really is) but don’t actually have any bearing on the material lives of everyday people.
Until I was laid off in January 2024, I oversaw the original reporting of The Young Turks. Since then, I’ve been counting on reader support to continue breaking news here on Substack. (I also do an NSFW weekday-morning newsletter full of the kind of unabashed opinion-having that I make sure not to indulge in the reporting here on this Substack, because impartial journalism doesn’t mean not having opinions it means being professional enough to ensure my reporting is intellectual honest.)
