The Right Way is the #1 conservative blog on Substack â recommended by over 245 other Substack authors!
According to Substack and its âleaderboardâ in the âU.S. Politicsâ section, The Bulwark is the leading conservative newsletter on Substack â in terms of popularity.
In fact, itâs listed at #3 currently â in terms of readership.
Indeed, The Bulwark supposedly enjoys the attention of 240,000 subscribers â because itâs just incredibly popular of course.
Thatâs more than a little odd because the pseudo-conservative anti-Trumpers who work at The Bulwark are not just loathed, but hated by GOP voters who regularly inform pollsters that Donald Trump has 93% approval among Republicans.
Lots of totally forgotten pundits and has-beens and never-popular nobodies are listed on the masthead too.
How did a bunch of people who are totally ignored individually amount to something collectively?
The Bulwark claims to have a premium service called âBulwark+â which now has over 20,000 paying subscribers. Supposedly a weekly livestream event also brings âhundreds, if not thousands of membersâ to interact with each other.
The Bulwark also houses seven podcasts and six newsletters! Dozens of people work for the site. Hundreds of thousands of people apparently subscribe to its newsletters. Itâs a mighty news media organization.
So I went looking for the hordes of readers who regularly swamp The Bulwark for news and information. Who were these people who paid real money to read the wisdom of Charlie Sykes, Bill Kristol, Jonathan V. Last, and Jim Swift?
What I found was not a thriving media company but a vast desert â seemingly larger than the Sahara and the Mojave combined.
The Bulwarkâs star writer Tim Milller did a podcast yesterday â which 53 people liked.
When the editors of The Bulwark get together to chat, a larger crowd of 67 people bother to attend. Four people were even moved to comment.
Everywhere you look on this website, you feel the silence and the absence, the great emptiness, the lonely flat plains of the desolate servers that whisper nobody cares to the curious onlooker who wanders around The Bulwark.
