Reach the readers everyone else is talking past.
Tangle is an independent, non-partisan politics publication read by 500k+ people across the political spectrum — and trusted as a daily habit. A calm, credible home for your brand.
Founded and edited by Isaac Saul — independent, subscriber-supported, and rated Center by AllSides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias Fact Check.
Most outlets sort their readers by side. We don't.
Founded by reporter Isaac Saul, Tangle covers the day's biggest story in neutral language, summarizes the strongest arguments from the left, right, and center side-by-side, and keeps a hard wall between fact and opinion.
Every reader — whatever their politics — meets ideas they disagree with in every edition. It's also why your message lands somewhere no other political publication can offer: the reasonable middle.
An audience you can't assemble anywhere else.
Self-reported political identification across the readership — a balance that's rare and hard to replicate.
More than 70k readers pay for Tangle — one of the largest paid politics readerships anywhere, and the clearest proof of how much this audience values what it reads.
Rated Center by the three most-cited bias raters.
Your message sits in a calm, respectful editorial context — not a partisan flame-war — with no left or right brand association attached to you. We summarize every side without endorsing one, and we never blur fact and opinion. For a brand, that's a rare thing: broad political reach with no partisan risk.
