In other eras I have followed your curated political junkie website during campaigns. During the Obama era, I then drifted off and felt no impulse to pay ultra-close attention to the news. That changed in 2015 when the campaigns were so crazy and compelling; I relied on your editorial voice and judgement to sift out the noise from actual news.
Once we elected the unthinkable — a boorish businessman surrounded by hucksters and cronies — I temper my always present anxiety with a goal of not being too media-obsessed. I read many other sites, but subscribing to Political Wire gives me a shortcut to assessing the significance of what’s happening.
I especially appreciate the deeper analysis pieces: insightful but not too long! They give me the freedom to move on and do something besides reading everything I can find. Thanks!
