I'm hestant to subscribe to the 1440 newsletter - who will they sell my email address to? On second thought, maybe I'll use an old (but still used) email address and see what it is.

Link them to what I call my "junk email." That's where all the political donation solicitations and Sears emails go. Yep, Sears still sells things, and I like to get them from a nostalgia standpoint.

It does not mention how much money T is raking in from donations.

Another part of the hush $ trial is denying voters access to the truth not mentioned at the site.

I find the unbiased claim suspect personally and prefer places like Vox for a pretty centrist view.

Snopes recently looked at 1440 and didn't find significant issues :

Yeah, the content is a bit 'dry' compared to our discussions here in DU but it carries more categories than I expected - some are actually quite interesting.

I signed up with an old email address - it'll be interesting to see how much junk I start getting.
