May we see Facebook, google, and YouTube go the way of MySpace in our lifetimes.

The whole notion of having CNN clowns claiming to be the arbiters of what constitutes “misinformation “ is a pathetic joke. Anyone who watches their daily buffoonery deserves to be among the perfectly misled.

Writers and readers are in charge at Substack. And...there you have it. THAT is the reason the little gnome at CNN is unhappy with substack.

There is no such thing as disinformation. There is only information, and it is up to you to use your brain to wade through it and educate yourself. I will buy another of Alex's books just to support him and his tireless effort. He must be exhausted trying to get the truth out.

I’m sure I speak for most folks here… my wife and I are educated readers with advanced degrees from prestigious universities, technical chops, and solid mathematics; we also care very much for the state of the Republic and the welfare of our neighbors; we do not drop a credit-card number for “misinformation.” Yet we are here. Thanks, Alex, and keep it up!

Love Substack standing up to the Potatoes of the world!

CNN offers daily doses of lying trash. They deserve to be banned for offering up misinformation regularly. Except that is authoritarian think. So OK they should be allowed to continue publishing their useless filth. I believe in the 1st. Amendment. CNN doesn’t.

Does anyone else find Brian Stelter's forced grins utterly creepy?

Bravo again for Alex Berenson!!!

Someone should tell Brian Stelter he's the one spewing misinformation...

What’s that overweight potato saying now?

Funny to hear Mr Potato Head suggest Alex Berensen is trafficking in misinformation. Still waiting for Brian Stelter’s retraction of Russia-Gate, PeePee hoax, Hunter’s “Russian Disinformation” laptop, etc, etc, etc… we’ll wait Mr Potato Head!

I don’t watch cnn, I’ll take your word for it. Watching cnn, if it were my only option, still means not watching cnn.

When the Left killed satire they gutted it and stuffed its rotting carcass with hacks, crooks and cons and called it cnn.

I'm paying a subscription to get you. Substack would be suicidal to ban you.

There is so much going on behind the scenes of this pandemic (and our fading democracy) I don’t think most folks can wrap their heads around it all. I have a close friend who has been digging into all of this for nearly 30 years and I use to tolerate some of his rants until I took a long trip down the rabbit hole and got shock after shock the deeper I went and the more I uncovered. I can’t help but feel that the only way to bring an end to this is through revolution. They (those now calling the shots, Fauci, Gates, Schwab, Pharma, Our elected officials, NWO, etc., etc.) just aren’t taking us seriously enough and have so much money to push their horrific agenda. Until we can gather a true majority, with open eyes, we are destined for more and more insanity until we have allowed our freedoms to slip through our fingers OR we take a stand!

I can't figure out why CNN, Twit, Fb, & the like act as if they are gods of "truth" when in reality they are nothing but regurgitated Pravda.

I'll wager that the Left is working nonstop, to figure out how to cancel Substack.

Beautiful interview. Like a commercial for Substack, and Alex Berenson. If I didn’t already know about both, I would subscribe instantly! 😂

Alex continues to hit all the right targets!

Mark Dice destroys "Grimace" on an almost weekly basis in his YouTube videos. No one should be banned in a free country.

You all need to go read “The Spartacus Letter” at Zerohedge. Another very comprehensive article on this whole C19 mess.It leaves no stone unturned. Politically, medically, scientifically, vaccine ugliness, criminality, all of it It dovetails with Alex’s hard work!

I have literal potatoes in my pantry with a higher IQ than Tater.

That said, Alex, I never click on CNN links. Did it this time just for you. If you could, please post links to CNN and their ideological brethren through an archive. Why give them the clicks and the traffic?

Hi Brian! I know you've been compared to a potato but that's really unfair. Potatoes are far more useful to humanity!

Brian Stelter embodies what it means to be a true journalist in this day and age - and that's not a good thing.

The Substack CEO is the anti-Zuckerberg, the anti-JackDorsey. He "gets" the importance of the 1st Amendment that ALL speech --even unpopular speech or "wrongspeech"--- is worth defending because it's important to have a forum to discuss issues because, for example, yesterday's conspiracy theories or "misinformation" could turn out to be fact. Major respect to that CEO and to Substack. May they disrupt the traditional media model (like the MSM) and bring truth to reporting back.

Those that demand banning others for speech need to be exiled to Venezuela for a year.

We are now at the point where we have to explain the merits of free speech. I'm so naive, I thought that was automatic.

CNN and MSNBC or any of the networks these days get their fragile feelings hurt when they hear of any competing venue for thought or perspective on pertinent issues of the day. They and other political propaganda outlets masquerading as media think anything that is not in line with the (mostly) Democrat party’s extremists favored narrative of the time is “mis/disinformation”. They are so absolutely infuriated when they cannot control or silence someone offering an opposing view. Additionally they are even more outraged when they see those people with opposing views having an audience. My only regret is I clicked on that link and read that story and gave CNN a viewing. I cannot believe I used to watch them when I was younger. I would equate them to a toilet bowl but I think a toilet bowl at least has relevancy. Glad Substack has not folded and gone full tilt leftist like Reddit, twitter and Fb. I pray they do not ever go that route and more people flee the thought police. It’s interesting so called media are always so concerned about people who are “wrong“ having a platform but they haven’t said or done anything that proves to me they were ever “correct” enough on anything they ever spewed out over the years under the guise as news reporting.

She’s as bad as the boys - sounds like them ! Gross !

I hate that CNN got a ‘click’ from me but I had to watch it anyway. I think I hate it more because the kid who would remind the teacher to assign homework and would pound the chalk erasers clean got a view from me. It is, however, hilarious that he was clueless enough to advertise for your substack page…

It's the existence of people like Stelter that drove me to subscribe.

Good on Chris Best for pushing back on that smug elitist jerk.

The anti-patriots — party, politics, power — are winning a game of life and death. To combat censorship by the ruling “elite” we need to resurrect something like the Revolutionary-era “committees of correspondence,” with Revere-like post riders to spread alarums.

I will support Alex, Glenn and any journalist who dares to resist the deceptive propaganda peddled almost everywhere. CNN claiming to hold the moral high ground is like saying Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo are humble.

When Chrome Dome asked Chris if he should be allowing Alex's Covid "misinformation" on Substack, I wish Chris would've responded with "Hey, Brian, a lot of people think you're a journalistic joke. Should we get rid of you, too?"
