  • Human (I hope) UT readers debate AI consciousness

    Alex Berenson - Jun 5th 2026 3:48pm EDT

    Here’s a little not-so-secret about Unreported Truths comment sections: the same names often pop up regularly. This phenomenon is not unique to UT. Some folks just like to weigh in! And I appreciate you. Having a lively comment section encourages people on the fence to add their own opinions. But I also like finding topics […]

  • Let’s just say no to Substack’s new (AI-based) comment censorship offering

    Alex Berenson - Jun 5th 2026 11:13am EDT

    Yep, it’s AI week at UT! Yesterday’s post on artificial intelligence consciousness sparked responses too smart not to share — I’ll have a follow-up soon. But first: On Wednesday, Substack announced a tool called “Reply Rules… [to] make it possible for even more people to be fully themselves and at home on Substack.” The feature […]

  • On the myth of AI consciousness – and what it means

    Alex Berenson - Jun 4th 2026 5:48pm EDT

    Claude may have some functional version of emotions or feelings. This is how Anthropic, the five-year-old, $1 trillion (yes, trillion) company that created the popular artificial intelligence model it calls “Claude,” describes its product. Spoiler alert: No, “Claude” does not have, cannot have, and will never have emotions or feelings. What Claude has is the […]

  • The verdict is in: Unreported Truths readers don’t want AI-generated articles

    Alex Berenson - Jun 4th 2026 12:21pm EDT

    Yesterday, apropos of my take on the explosion in AI-produced writing, the Atlantic1 ran a brilliant piece attacking the myth of artificial intelligence consciousness. I’m fashioning my own thoughts on that article. With AI taking an outsized role in our markets and politics, we need to think about what these engines are, and are not. […]

  • On the future of writing – and Unreported Truths

    Alex Berenson - Jun 3rd 2026 12:47pm EDT

    What happens to writers — and journalism — when the cost of writing falls to zero? We’re about to find out. Artificial intelligence engines can now write on almost any topic at a level that will satisfy most readers. They tell stories and make arguments. And they produce faster and more cheaply than any human […]

  • Your thoughts on “Men are trash, men are trash, men are trash…”

    Alex Berenson - Jun 1st 2026 2:25pm EDT

    Misandry. As several of you reminded me after reading Friday’s article about the left’s unflinching dislike for men, “misandry” is the correct term for reflexive anti-male hatred. Somehow, I had forgotten the word even existed. Like everyone else, I have heard “misogyny” and “misogynist” uncountable times, but no one bothers to call out misandry; it […]

  • Why does the left think mocking boys and men is okay?

    Alex Berenson - May 29th 2026 5:59pm EDT

    The Fatherhood Manifesto can’t get here soon enough. Today, the New York Times gave us a glimpse into what our liberal betters think of manhood, in a videotaped podcast called “America Has a Masculinity Crisis.” This discussion included three people: two women and a childless man (per his Instagram, he is a “Dog Dad”). In […]

  • Stop listening to your body

    Alex Berenson - May 27th 2026 1:41pm EDT

    This week, a young, healthy man named Steven Bartlett received 25 million views on X as he described the suffering he faced when he pushed his body to its limits. Bartlett, whose biceps suggest he spends a lot of time at the gym and whose X profile describes him as an “entrepreneur” (such a beautifully […]

  • On this Memorial Day, please remember those who died fighting for our freedoms – and those who died exercising them.

    Alex Berenson - May 25th 2026 6:51pm EDT

    Not all vanquished heroes die in battle. On this day when we remember the sacrifices of men and women in uniform, I find myself thinking about Charlie Kirk, who last September paid the ultimate price for exercising his right to speak. No right is more fundamental not just to our conception of America but the […]

  • The Fatherhood Manifesto is on its way

    Alex Berenson - May 24th 2026 5:22pm EDT

    In December, I told you I was writing what I called a “manifesto on fatherhood” – an argument against the way our culture has devalued fathers and stoicism in parenting, combined with specific tips about ways to be a better dad. Now the piece, called (wait for it) “The Fatherhood Manifesto,” is done. It’s over […]

  • What happens next in Berenson v Gottlieb (nee Berenson v Biden)

    Alex Berenson - May 19th 2026 6:09pm EDT

    Can top Pfizer officials conspire with the government to censor the unvaccinated? Do unvaccinated people have legal recourse against conspiracies to violate their Constitutional rights? The Second Circuit Court of Appeals is about to face those issues head-on, as my legal battle over the conspiracy to force me off Twitter in 2021 continues. I believe […]

  • Six hours left on the Unreported Truths subscription sale!

    Alex Berenson - May 13th 2026 5:42pm EDT

    Last night, someone emailed to complain about the email announcing a one-day sale on UT subscriptions. This happens every once in a while. I understand these pitches can be annoying, and I try to limit them. Yes, this sale! Which expires at midnight! But I gotta say: free Unreported Truths readers get a good deal. […]

  • ERRATA: Zeynep Tufekci’s article is misspelled in the piece I just emailed (I transposed the “k” and “c” throughout)

    Alex Berenson - May 13th 2026 4:08pm EDT

    I’ve already corrected it in the version on the page. Again, I regret the error. I know, I know, time for a copy editor! (Time is really the problem, I like to get these pieces out fast.)

  • The virus panickers are at it again

    Alex Berenson - May 13th 2026 3:56pm EDT

    Zeynep Tufekci1 — the sociologist who became famous during Covid for telling New York Times readers no more and no less than what health bureaucrats thought they should know — just warned the world about hantavirus! Years after Covid blew into our lives, the main thing standing between us and the next global pandemic is […]

  • Thank you Joe Nocera!

    Alex Berenson - May 13th 2026 11:27am EDT

    Joe Nocera is one of the top business reporters and editors of the last 40 years — and hardly a conservative. He’s now working for The Free Press. Last night, he took a look at the facts of Berenson v Biden and became the first mainstream journalist to explain the case, and why my settlement […]

  • Hahahaha the “nonpartisan fact-checkers” are at it again

    Alex Berenson - May 12th 2026 3:37pm EDT

    On Thursday, I explained how Moderna’s own clinical trial for its mRNA flu jab showed it caused hundreds of severe side effects to prevent one flu hospitalization. Today, the mRNA fanatics nonpartisan fact-checkers at NewsGuard, the umm, Global Leader in Information Reliability, struck back by finding massive holes in my piece! They tried to, anyway. […]

  • Thank you all!

    Alex Berenson - May 12th 2026 12:08pm EDT

    I have a confession. I almost didn’t take the deal. Last week, I went to a dinner honoring Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the director of the National Institutes of Health. As you likely know, Dr. Anthony Fauci and the health bureaucracy wanted to destroy Jay in 2020 for the crime of being honest about Covid. Now […]

  • URGENT: A huge win in Berenson v Biden

    Alex Berenson - May 11th 2026 1:50pm EDT

    Goodbye Berenson v (Joe) Biden. Hello Berenson v (Albert) Bourla. Today, the Trump Administration and I settled the federal government’s role in Berenson v Biden, my lawsuit against Biden Administration and Pfizer officials for violating my Constitutional rights and forcing Twitter to ban me in summer 2021. After three hard-fought years, this settlement marks a […]

  • Happy Mother’s Day!

    Alex Berenson - May 10th 2026 4:49pm EDT

    I’d rather ignore Jong-Fast, but the New York Times let her despoil Mother’s Day with an op-ed called, “I Forgave My Mother, but It Was Too Late.” Please. If you missed it last year, this piece will let you judge Jong-Fast’s “forgiveness” for yourself. It’s no accident she was a hardcore lockdowner and mRNA fanatic, […]

  • Can lefty commentators PLEASE stop “joking” about killing Republicans and rich people they don’t like?

    Alex Berenson - May 8th 2026 5:31pm EDT

    If MS NOW could walk, it would be Lyz Lenz. Lenz is a wannabe journalist who got fired in 2020 by the Cedar Rapids Gazette for being too far left and overly political. (In 2020! From a newspaper!) She parlayed her firing into a successful Substack (over 50,000 subscribers) and a bestselling 2024 memoir whining […]

  • The Moderna flu jab has a comically bad risk-benefit ratio. Will the FDA give into political pressure and approve it?

    Alex Berenson - May 7th 2026 5:05pm EDT

    Moderna just published the full results from its pivotal 40,000-person trial comparing its mRNA flu jab to a standard flu shot. They are awful. Not that you would know from the legacy media’s coverage, or Moderna’s press release promising “potential approvals expected to begin in 2026.” The trial showed severe side effects from the mRNA […]

  • It’s time to stop pretending hospitals are “nonprofits”

    Alex Berenson - May 6th 2026 4:03pm EDT

    How much do American hospitals cost? Over $2 million per bed per year. Not for a state-of-the-art neonatal unit, or a Level III trauma center. The United States now spends over $2 million every year for an average hospital bed — $1.6 trillion in all. That’s one key reason the American medical system has fewer […]

  • The sale on truth ends today!

    Alex Berenson - May 6th 2026 10:28am EDT

    Independent journalism is deeply rewarding. I find my own stories, connect directly with readers, write at my own pace and in my own style. I’m my own boss. But. But. Nothing is free, especially not independence. Substack is hotly competitive, open to anyone and everyone. And working without a boss means working without a net. […]

  • Another day, another junk vaccine study hyped by the legacy media. Will the noise ever stop?

    Alex Berenson - May 5th 2026 5:27pm EDT

    There’s science. And there’s The Science. Never the twain shall meet. Last week, the Washington Post pretended Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, director of the National Institutes of Health had hidden a study showing how awesomely awesome mRNA Covid boosters are. In reality, anyone with a basic understanding of statistics and medicine could see the study wasn’t […]

  • Chronicle of a birth foretold

    Alex Berenson - May 5th 2026 12:39pm EDT

    (A long piece by UT standards, but worth your time. Buckle up!) In February, Katy Talento — a “recovering epidemiologist” who served as a White House health policy advisor from 2017 to 2019 — wrote a remarkable Substack attacking American hospitals. Talento drew on her personal experiences seeing family members suffer to illustrate her broader […]
