Huh. I seem to recall a very angry letter Minority Leader Harry Reid wrote in early September 2016, demanding an investigation into Russian antics surrounding the Hump kkkampaign. No story there, eh, NYT editors? Nah. EMAILZ!
I recently won a year's digital subscription to the Times... I wasn't going to take it, but was talked into it because my beloved and I assumed the crossword was included... which it is not, because they're cheap bastids as well as crappy journalists.
This seems like the ideal moment in which to cancel our subscription in a huff.
My parents would emphatically agree. Mom worked for the Detroit Free Press for pretty much my entire lifetime (I think I was about 2 when she started and 34 when she quit), and she was repaid with routine attempts to break the union, destroy the Joint Operating Agreement with the Detroit News (which kept certain protections in place), routine pay cuts, and other insults. There came a point where she threw up her hands. My father worked for 4-5 different papers, eventually quitting in disgust when the Charlotte Observer slashed their copy-editing staff by 2/3 and hearing the editor say "Well, no one cares about that stuff anyway."
I read foreign papers almost exclusively now - they may have a Canadian or UK or French or Hong Kongese bias, but not a conservative Republican one.
I'm a bit gun shy of the Guardian after the hatchet job it's done on disability activism - it's published pieces that aren't condemning Andrew Wakefield with the fire of a thousand suns, and while I respect it has to take a position, it's not mine. But I do read BBC sometimes, among a couple other British outlets.
Hambeast shit the bed as hard as anyone. at her age her stool is like concrete, she chips bowls with her big dumps. speaking of big dumps why are you people still reading wonkette?
I had heard about the hours-long ordeal the NYT put subscribers through when they tried to cancel, so when I finally got disgusted enough to quit I just reported my card lost. Even with re-establishing payments (Hi, Editrix!) I'm sure it saved me time.
yup, guardian, globe&mail, new statesman, crikey, le canard; I still like the LA Times even though they're Tronc for now. Tampa Bay Times is still good, too. And the freep might not be what it was but it's still highly readable.
Time has always been The Goebbels Family Newsletter, but there was a period in the '80s-'90s when the New Yorker was a really fun read, especially Anthony Lane's movie reviews. It's since slid into Bourgeois Bohemian irrelevance but I still like Emily Nussbaum, Elizabeth Kolbert, & Joshua Rothman.
But yeah, WSJ, NYT, WaPo, even the Boston Globe - just pathetic.
Their print subscriptions have been dropping steadily, which isn't a huge surprise. Their online subscriptions have been pluggin the gap, but I haven't been able to find real reliable page impressions or unique visitor numbers..
Here in lovely, suburban Connecticut, NYT subscribers generally pull the Lifestyle, Region, & Magazine sections & toss the rest, because, you know, THINKING.
Prezactly! Easy on the eyes, also too.
Fuck the New York Times. There has been something very corrupt controlling things there for a long time.
No contest, no contest...you're the contest!

Fuck you, New York Times.
Then there's THIS bullshit. https://www.nytimes.com/201...
What's the source? "Clinton Cash", that screed by a former Breitbart editor.
Fuck the New York Times... between this bullshit and the daggers they threw at Hillz on the daily, they can burn in hell for all I care.

Or, as Groucho Marx might have said, in a minute and a huff.
