Isaac Saul, Part I

Isaac Saul is the founder of Tangle News, a widely read independent politics newsletter known for breaking down major issues from both the left and the right. Before launching Tangle, he worked as a reporter and editor and has written for outlets like CNN, TIME Magazine, The Huffington Post, and the Daily Mail, covering politics, media, and culture with a focus on clarity and balance. In this episode, I sit down with Isaac to unpack how he approaches political coverage in a way that prioritizes nuance over noise. We get into the mechanics behind Tangle, the discipline required to fairly represent opposing viewpoints, and why so much modern discourse feels broken. Isaac shares his personal journey from traditional media into independent journalism, and what he's learned about bias, audience trust, and the responsibility that comes with shaping public understanding. This one is thoughtful, grounded, and incredibly relevant - especially if you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to make sense of the news.
