Happy Sunday!

Hi!
I wanted to wish you a Happy Sunday!
As you know, My Daily Grind News is, well, a news site. And I'm always striving to make it better.
But better is always in the eye of the beholder! So I'd like to get your take on what "better" means for you (with respect to the MDG News).
I also wanted to remind you of the obvious: The "news" doesn't stop on weekends. Hell, if the past president serves as a reminder, most of the news came out on Friday night, when fewer outlets were covering it.
However, I don't "do news" on weekends. The closest I get to anything newsworthy is SNL's "Weekend Update" which is, IMHO, the ONLY reason for watching Saturday Night Live.
Fight me.
In short, there's more to life than "the news." Of course, MDGN updates a few times a day, so you should always be able to visit and get close to the latest news.
Things I'm thinking about:
It seems, at least in the US, that there are two broad news consumers: The Left and the Right. Or is it Liberals and the Conservatives? I don't know.
There's MSNBC (leftish) and Fox News (rightwing). There's CNN, whom the right hates.
Then there's Breitbart, OAN, and others, which covet the fringe right.
I'm sure they exist, but I don't know about them (or none come to mind as I write this): Leftwing fringe news sites.
In that light, would it be worthwhile to have "left" and "right" -wing news "packages?"
Would you like to see what's brewing at Drudge, Breitbart, Fox News, and OAN, to name a few?
Serious question. Thoughts?

In case you missed the last Morning Sixpack, here it is.
As always, you can read all past Sixpacks here.

One more thing:
I've taken down most of the ads (in fact, I think all of them) on the site. I don't think they were adding any value (to you or me!).
BUT in that light, it's become even more important that we all support the site with contributions. You can make a one-time or recurring donation here.
I'm contemplating adding some sort of "level" to subscriptions, but--honestly--I have no idea what will work best for everybody, so I welcome your feedback.
I do not anticipate ever making the Morning Sixpack paid. What you're getting now will always be free. That's my intention, at least.
That's it. Happy Sunday. Make it a great day!
Bill
