"Many of you mentioned writers like Heather Cox Richardson, Paul Krugman, Judd Legum and Marisa Kabas, among many others. You also mentioned podcasts and individual columnists.

Many of you expressed disillusionment, or even rage, at 'Big Journalism,' or mainstream media — or whatever you want to call the big traditional institutions."
