WTF is FINE PRINT?
Independent commentary on politics, power, and propaganda—minus the ads, fluff, and feed. Subscribe for direct, unfiltered essays and systemic breakdowns.
FINE PRINT is an independent publication.
It exists to expose what was always there—buried in footnotes, legislation, memos, and media strategy decks disguised as journalism.
This isn’t a content farm. No pop-ups. No paid placements. No ghostwritten “as told to” interviews with billionaires. Just essays, breakdowns, and receipts. Delivered without a middleman algorithm deciding which version of reality you're most likely to ignore.
Your subscription keeps this running. Not advertisers. Not sponsors. Just you.
Who’s Behind This
FINE PRINT is written, researched, and built by me—David Kirsch. I’ve spent the last two decades working inside regulated industries, policy battlegrounds, and startup graveyards, watching the same rigged playbook get recycled across sectors.
This project isn’t academic. It’s personal. I got tired of watching truth get scrubbed for tone, sold for reach, and buried beneath corporate strategy decks. So I started publishing it myself.
No editorial board. No think tank donors. Just one person with a low tolerance for bullshit and a high regard for memory.
