I’m not going to deal with this, unsubscribing. I recommend everyone else to do the same, we can’t let them get away with this. You can instead donate to an actually good news source, such as ProPublica. And nyt has a bunch of controversies, listed here. I can’t support this with a clear conscience.

    Posting some text and photos on the internet is not even close to being in the same league as printing and hand delivering content. They don’t even have to sell ad space themselves to individual advertisers like they used to. Tbey don’t even have an incentive to write quality stories. They just need some clickbait ai slop to get more clicks.

          It was revealed to me in a dream.

          No sorry I don’t know if that’s true or not but my point is that (good) journalism is expensive regardless of the medium. The original thread is talking about the new york times.
