These are extraordinary times. Trust in the media is at an all-time low, and political polarization is radicalizing minds everywhere. Our distrust seems insurmountable. This is exactly what we want to change.
But we need your help.
Tangle stays 100% independent because readers choose to support it.
If that matters to you, I'm offering you a special 20% discount for the next 72 hours to support our work. That means you can unlock all of our content for about $1/week. (Don't worry, if you say no, you will still get Mon-Thurs free).
Why readers choose Tangle
I’ve been running this newsletter for over six years now, and I can honestly say that I’ve never experienced an environment like the one we are living through today.
Conservative readers unsubscribe over us “unfairly bashing President Trump” on the same days liberal readers say they’re leaving because we are “sanewashing Trump.” Our divisions are growing.
In the midst of this, we’re trying to do something special: Bring people of different political persuasions under one roof for a shared set of arguments, facts, and analysis, all while engaging in good-faith debate and trying to better understand differing views. And it's working.
- Media bias watchdogs rate Tangle as "center" bias and highly accurate
- Our audience is 40% liberal, 30% conservative, and 30% independent or "other" — so we are bringing a diverse audience under one roof
- More than 95% of all our readers, regardless of their political affiliation, say they trust Tangle to deliver balanced news.
Subscriptions are the #1 way we keep ourselves independent and can keep this project — with our small team of 12 — continuing into the future. Our best work is behind full membership.
Again, thank you for being here.
