## The Free Press Reviews in United States

### ***** "Hear, here"
Make all articles available for listening, increase the volume on TGIF.
-- serio te amavi, 2026-04-27

### ***** "Pure Sanity"
These journalists are keeping me sane. I’m so glad there’s a place for adults to write about the news.
-- Astronaut Scott, 2026-04-27

### ***** "Much Needed"
I very much look forward to The Free Press in my ‘In Box’.  Thoughtful articles with a different view, not crazy, weird or obtuse but something that requires some thinking and pondering.  Arthur Brooks’ articles are some of the best.
-- scooterCLT, 2026-04-05

### ***-- "Balanced News Source, but…"
The Free Press is the best source available for balanced reporting and analysis - hands down. The app is decent, still evolving though. I would LOVE to be able to pinch to zoom in/adjust the font size while reading it. Since I can’t, I’m generally relegated to using the FP website.
-- Appreciates logic and order, 2026-04-02

### ***** "Articulate, intelligent and knowledgeable."
The Free Press is meant for those of us who need to stay ahead of the news and understand its implications. We have a president who is ill-read, spontaneous to the extreme, such that this bull in the China shop needs careful intelligent monitoring. Keep up the good work.
-- Illuminer, 2026-04-01

### ***** "No such thing as free"
Well thought out intellectual articles from a wide range of insightful thought providing writers on issues few try to tackle. It’s not the expected BBC, NPR, FOX view point. This is the new fresh perspective.
-- The injector, 2026-03-30

### ***** "Still the One"
This is still the best current events site on the internet. Let’s hope the $$ from Ellison fils makes it even better!
-- LaugherNYCK, 2026-03-10

### ***** "Go-To Press for All"
The Free Press is becoming my go-to source for quality reporting from multiple viewpoints on the must important and increasingly controversial topics facing and pushing humanity.
-- JSwenson1215, 2026-03-07

### ***** "Actual Journalism"
One of the very few sources of information that isn’t a mouthpiece of left wing radicals and right wing conspiracy theorists.
-- Scott1276, 2026-03-03

### ***** "Different Points of View and Topics"
I have subscribed to Free Press for almost a year. I love the varied content. I enjoy professional and eloquent podcasters Coleman Hughes. I also Things Worth Remembering such a positive way to celebrate history worth examining.  Of course the humor in TGIF. And most importantly the comments are very intelligent, respectful and informative.  I learn much from the comments. I wish FP much success.
