“I love how you cull from various sources, so I get to hear many different voices each morning as I read the news. I prefer the way you present opposing positions rather than flipping between the talking heads on Fox and MSNBC which seem so disingenuous. I appreciate that you have done the work and filtered for me the most thoughtful and comprehensive position statements.”
“I love the juxtaposition of politics and I love that it's a mix of multiple people's opinions rather than reading a long opinion piece by one person. Everyone could benefit from reading this and taking a page out of their opposing party's book. Anytime I start to get into a discussion about politics, I suggest signing up for The Flip Side. I tell them it really helps me to try to understand both sides of the discussion so that I don't form an uninformed bias.”
“I love The Flip Side. It is literally the first email I read every morning and I miss it on the weekends! It has helped me so much to see each issue from different perspectives, which is so valuable. I learn things every day, and I recommended it to my mom who loves it too (plus a BUNCH of other friends!). I don't ever plan on unsubscribing. The Flip Side is an absolute benefit in my life :)”
“Love TFS! Using it in class for my 11th grade English students. A super accessible resource for argumentative writing and addressing counter arguments!! Y’all should be marketing this to more teachers, for real - I’ve referred y’all a ton already.”
“I would rate this service a 10/10! I get this for my debate team to keep up with current events and to use as the basis for motions to debate. It’s a great source for getting a broad overview of a subject or skimming to keep up to date with the few important news stories. I also think the ‘Deep Dive’ series is just right - it’s not sent too often to get annoying and it’s always about topics that are interesting or relevant. Keep up the good work!”
“I am a big fan of The Flip Side and use it everyday - actually designed a project around it for my students! Now they recommend it to all their friends too. Keep this important balanced commentary coming!”
“Obsessed. It’s helping to save my marriage. I think it’s really important for people to get both sides as the media outlets and politicians are misleading and have caused a lot of hate, broken friendships and divided families. It’s really so sad! At this point, I actually only read The Flip Side.”
“This is one of the finest sites that I have stumbled upon. I have sent it out to a few other people and they have also been impressed. Beats literally everything that I have found up to this point. It's exactly what I needed to stay on top of the political topics of the day. Can already see some friends mentioning how reading The Flip Side has moved their needle and helped them see the other side's perspective.”
“I'm very grateful for it! I have several family members across the country reading it and we love connecting around the topics when we get a chance to catch up with each other. I live in Los Angeles in a very liberal bubble but have friends & family in "red" states and appreciate your ability to give me a quick survey of what they're reading. It’s clear and concise, and helps me talk with my loved ones who have differing views. TFS is my favorite news source and I recommend it to everyone!”
