Why we place The Free Press as Libertarian
The Free Press is a heterodox outlet built around free speech, open inquiry, and suspicion of institutional orthodoxy. We file it under the libertarian lens for its civil-liberties-first instinct and its resistance to both progressive and conservative pieties, though it is less doctrinaire than Reason or Cato.
