Donald Trump's presidency poses a dilemma for right-leaning alt-media figures like Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald. Despite their opposition to the establishment, they now find themselves in a situation where their views are heard by those in power. The shift challenges their self-styled rebel image as they navigate the contradictions of advocating against a backdrop of support from the administration. Bari Weiss's platform, The Free Press, is thriving amidst this environment, showcasing a stark contrast to the conflicts arising among their peers in this media landscape.
Weiss seems best equipped to take advantage of the contradictions of the new regime... The outlet raised $15 million in 2024 from a funding round that valued it at $100 million.
These online personalities... are like sharks. But instead of needing to hunt to live, their drive to survive comes from arguing with people.
