I appeared in-studio on Breaking Points / Counter Points yesterday with my former colleague Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky, the culture editor at The Federalist. We discussed my congressional testimony this week, our latest story on the Department of Homeland Security censoring a New York Times journalist, free speech, and my transition from the progressive journalism sphere to the independent publishing platform Substack.
Great job at Congress. Your opening statement was concise yet included many examples across the board of censorship.
I agree the democrats appeared to not understand the purpose of the hearing, obsessing about Trump is bad. After nearly ten years of hearing their one talking point I had to just turn it off. It has become annoying noise.
I listened to the hearing. Well done! I'm wondering how difficult it was to pay attention to Plasket's moralizing after your article about her and epstein? :)
Glad you testified and are getting airtime on a range of shows. The body politic needs to hear the kind of information you are finding in your investigative journalism.
some of the best theater ever.. my friend asked me "what did you watch last night". when I told her I watched Lee Fang trash the Dems about the weaponization of the government. she asked "was it good". i told her it was terrific
Lee, you attended two hearings simultaneously in the same room: A serious discussion on an out-of-control government censorship of its citizen's right to free speech; A group hate talking points session attacking everything Trump. You could see the foam forming at their mouths. Not to sound like a broken record- the whole rotten system is collapsing.
Not exactly sure how to say it but Ryan Grim's look (and name,) makes him appear angry or mean. However, when he talks, granted I don't watch him a lot, he seems to speak like he is indeed not nice or happy but still what he says is in fact nice and thoughtful. I am not a good writer so I probably am making no since whatsoever. Basically, I am trying to say he is not as angry or confrontational as he appears.
You are just as powerful in person as in your journalism. Well done! And your focus on the subject and facts regardless of public pressure from “sides” is why I always trust and turn to your reporting. Thank you.

I enjoyed the interview Lee. And it is a pleasure to interact here with you and subscribers. Keep the faith!

Thank you Lee! May The Force Be With You!
