... It is that belief that led Rubin to announce that she was beginning a new media venture with a tagline—“Not Owned By Anybody”—that makes clear her disdain for Bezos’ ownership.

The 62-year-old indicated she will continue to write scathing columns about Trump at her new site, The Contrarian, which she launched Monday along with the CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen (who is also exiting his role).

“Our goal is to combat, with every fiber of our being, the authoritarian threat that we face,” Rubin told CNN....

Eisen, 64, said his vision for The Contrarian is a “defiant and uncompromising platform free from false equivalence.” He added that the U.S., on the verge of Trump 2.0, faces an “existential threat to American democracy.”

The site plans to feature about two dozen contributors who are “diverse across parties and generations,” but are “connected by the shared belief that we need an unshackled media in order to meet this moment.”...

You're unable to read articles that you're commenting on or to google topics that interest you? Typical lazy MAGAt.

I hardly feel like I'm assisting when your entire end of the conversation was covered in the article.
