I am delighted to see the great exposure you’ve gotten this week with two of my favorites. Hoping it gets you more subscribers and that the interview with Megyn also got you linked into the advertising contacts she said she was going to connect you with. You deserve every bit of your success! Keep up the great work!

My favorite podcast and favorite substacker all within a week or two.

It's all coming together for you Sasha, and it's richly deserved.

Yes.

Sasha Stone……Today’s Dalton Trumbo

Matt Taiibi…….Today’s Edward R. Murrow.

America is lucky to have them both.

Wow, what a “great” and horrible story. The image of Jack Smith wandering around the Telluride festival like a “made guy” infuriates me and goes so far in explaining why both Hollywood and the Democratic Party deserve our total and continuing contempt. Good for you for your courage and perseverance in taking them on. You’re my favorite Substack blogger and I wish you every success. Remember, living well is the best revenge. God bless you.

Sasha, ironically, Hollyweird did you such a solid by crapping all over you... Blacklist-style martyrdom is yours to your eternal credit, plus they bailed you out of the movie beat at the precise moment movies became (almost) all stupid and a waste of time.

Fate is a fickle mistress... Guess we all just have to go along with it.

...and maybe others have had such an amazing conversion -- but we never wudda known about SStone's if she was not an outstanding journalist!

Sasha. You didn’t deserve the treatment you received. But then, I guess it’s consider the source. Even someone you liked, or thought you did, shit on you.

It’s good that Megyn and Matt are getting you some exposure and getting the real story out there. Let’s hope it is enough to get you going again.

You do good work. I appreciate what you do and how you do it. You’re the real deal.

Great job Sasha. Hope raising your profile like this helps restore some of what you lost in your business. You are a wonderful person.

The fact that the left is not protesting anything Trump is doing reveals their moral bankruptcy.

At bottom, Progressives abandoned normality and the cultural health of us all for a micro focus on every fringe they could conjure. They own the cultural asset of film and television at scale. That means Hollywood has a fiduciary role in the cultural health and inclusion of us all.

Imagine if parents of a large family stopped feeding and sheltering and cultivating their healthy children to devote their full focus to their autistic or learning disabled child. Not just passive neglect - but active shaming of their healthy kids for their privilege of not being born defect. Of parading their weak children around to showcase what compassionate and superior parents they were. No parent would do this.

When a body begins routing all its nutrients and energy toward defective cells - it weakens the bone and muscle and tissue of the healthy limbs. That body dies.

Hollywood and Progressives abandoned all of us when it was their job to act as responsible parents to our cultural welfare. They failed at this and we “normies” are punishing them for it. We have been shamed, ignored, disdained, and put down long enough. They deserve all of this wrath and comeuppance. Perhaps they will learn their lesson and reinvest in all Americans as their rightful purview of responsibility.

Sasha, you are now part of the Hollyweird Ten, or however many lives the cancelers have (tried) to ruin. It would make a good movie if the film industry had a scintilla of decency, self-awareness and integrity left. But no matter, girl, you are part of History now..

Matt has seen all the movies. It was only a matter of time before you birds of a feather got together.

Retribution has taken awhile, but by taking your own advice (to thine own self be true) at long last your hard work is paying off. Congrats.

A treat to see an unaffected personal tale revealing the nasty politic of the Imperium and its corruption of our human spirit.

It used to be a Hollywood theme!

Good piece - my only quibble, and it's because it diminishes what happened to YOU, is when he lists other supposed "cancel culture" targets: "Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart, Jonah Hill, Woody Allen, Roseanne Barr" - wait, what??? Are we playing a round of "One of These Things Is Not Like the Others" on Sesame Street? Because Woody Allen belongs on the list of "creeps who abused their power to sexually abuse women" with Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and Roman Polanski ...
