I'm proud to be one of Byline Times' founder members from March 2019, long before their presence on substack.

I am glad you are expanding. I share the concerns expressed about Substack, but accept the need to approach the broad range of articles with scepticism, just as I am starting to learn which of your writers are more reliable.

I'm not thrilled by this news as I have been trying to extricate myself from Substack, which has its own problems.

Oh we're not dispensing with the news site or out print magazine, just making them more cohere

Im a subscriber to the monthly mag but I haven’t the habit of visiting the website yet. I’ve just had to subscribe to one of your contributors to read the analysis of Farage’s loss in the bi-election. Is that article in your website? Can I go there to read everything you publish here?

Hi, I've subscribed to your paper edition for a number of years and am extremely disappointed that the latest edition is promoting the line that Epstein was a Russian agent/asset. His links to Israel are barely mentioned in passing. "What the papers don't say", indeed. Now that you're here on Substack you can find plenty well-informed sources to help point you in the right direction. You're welcome. ❤️🕊,Dx

We expected many more Israeli connections, In the current tranche of emails released Epstein's connections to Russia are just more evidenced. The main Israeli connections are through Ehud Barak. We can't make them say something they don't say - and we certainly would have no problem with reporting on whatever they do. But we should point out there seems to be a major omission of emails from 2001-2010 where there may be more informaiton

Could he have been an American intelligence asset gathering incriminating evidence on powerful men, to do bidding at any given time? Would that explain his interest in getting closer to Russian officials?

Here's an example of a convincing article, citing numerous sources https://www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/no-epstein-was-not-a-russian-spy

Given substack's generally poor reputation for supporting right wing views I won't be paying via substack. there are more ethical ways of doing this. I expect better from Byline Times

I think there has been a misunderstanding here. We're not replacing our existing news site or magazine with substack, just turning our existing substack into something more align with both of those

For some reason, unlike every other Substack I subscribe to, this one forces me to update my profile or login again in order to comment ... ?
