The Contrarian Press Release

Today, Jen Rubin and Norm Eisen launched The Contrarian, a new
independent media project unencumbered by corporate interests. The
Contrarian will feature both political and cultural commentary in
defense of democracy with multiple daily Substack columns, a YouTube
channel, podcasts, and more.

To launch this new venture, Rubin has announced that, effective today,
she has resigned from The Washington Post. She and Eisen will be
joined by a stellar group of over two dozen contributors.

"We've watched as corporate and billionaire owners of media outlets
abused their audiences' loyalty and undercut journalism's vital role
in a free democracy," said Rubin. "Instead of safeguarding democratic
values, they have enabled the gravest threats to democracy - Donald
Trump and his allies - at the very time when a robust and independent
press is most essential. We need an alternative, truly independent
outlet that is unafraid of the administration and unwilling to
equivocate or bend the knee."
