So, op-eds from main stream media are allowed, but journalists publishing their work through substack is not allowed. So, only the establishment is allowed to have their voices heard. Got it. Quite the hill to die on @jordanlund

Read the actual article. This was a commercial vehicle that was hauling gravel. I think most folks are assuming it was some dumbass in a lifted truck with a few MAGA stickers on the back. That’s not the case.
The driver is still at fault for ignoring the posted weight limits, but it’s not like he was driving a personal vehicle, as much as we’d all love to see a some of these massive trucks and SUVs go through a bridge.
What’s this?
That's increasingly a not very nuanced or serious stance to hold given that actual journalists and columnists do publish on substack, especially those that are trying to break away from billionaire controlled "news sources" with owners that are actually interfering in editorial and reporting decisions. Do you remove all op-eds from your "news sources"? If not, you're saying billionaire-controlled "news sources" are legitimate, but not independent journalists and columnists with actual bona fides, including having been part of establishment media or worked in government previously. The internet has destroyed journalism, seems wrong to tune out those who are trying to put it together again.
