A growing group of former CBS News journalists is preparing to confront the network's new owner David Ellison, chief of Paramount Skydance, demanding editorial independence after a 60 Minutes investigation into deported migrants was abruptly pulled from air.

We've spent a lot of time this year trying to iterate on our subscription and make it more valuable. We launched with full-site access, a lighter ad experience, two subscriber-exclusive newsletters, and RSS feeds. Since then, we've added the top-requested new feature with ad-free podcasts, added commenting badges for subscribers, and started testing subscriber AMAs. We've also expanded our subscriber-exclusive newsletter offering with Optimizer, The Stepback, Regulator, and Installer, which are all essential reading.

The Department of War recently invited The American Conservative to be further integrated into its press operations. We have politely declined. This invitation was conditioned on TAC accepting the department's over-the-top press restrictions, including agreeing not to publish any confidential material that our affiliated reporters might acquire.

The Infatuation and its affiliates assume no responsibility or liability for the content of this site, or any errors or omissions, emphasizing the need for users to exercise caution.

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors.
