Comrades: Investigative journalism that exposes corruption and speaks truth to power is vital to a functioning Republic.
I am honored to host Lee Fang on The Anti-Demoralization Zone. He is one of the top investigative reporters in the game. In his words, “Most independent writers produce a steady flow of tribal or emotional content designed to exploit our polarized political landscape. I’m hoping to do something different. I aim to appeal to those on the right, the left, and the center, bringing unique reporting and documentation to spotlight misconduct and at times, opportunities for reform.”
In our conversation, we discuss:
Why Lee became an investigative journalist and his political evolution
Our common background with fathers and grandfathers who were subjected to CCP Cultural Revolution struggle sessions
His assessment of current CCP active measures of subverting America from within
One of his craziest stories that connected JEB! to the CCP
The most surprising parts of the Twitter files
Why he went independent on Substack and the future of journalism - “it’s FUCKED”
