    That’s what our readers deserve and expect: that we are saying what we really think, reporting what we really see…

    This is why I cancelled my subscription and switched to NYT. I need to be able to trust my news source, and I can’t trust the post if all it took was a call from Bezos for them to bow and kneel.

      Guess you’re ignoring their genocide apologia and their constant pro-cop propaganda, then…

          I need integrity.

          Carrying water for a fascist apartheid regime committing genocide is indicative of a lot of things. Integrity isn’t one of them. Same goes for repeating whatever cops tell them to say.

          I also respect a bad take far more than silence and cowardice in the face of adversity

          There’s honest bad takes and there’s spreading deceptive misinformation. When it comes to Israel, cops, and other things that the establishment likes much more than the population in general, the NYT is constantly doing the latter at refusing to issue corrections.

            As I have commented before, subscriptions are easy to cancel. I iust got this one, I’ll read it and make my own mind if it is for me or not. For the moment, the only thing I have to make my decision is the irrefutable fact that the LA Times and the Washington Post both knelt down and ate the ass of their billionaire owners on request.

      And to lie about their reasons for doing so to their readers.

      I found the NYT’s sanewashing of Trump irresponsible, so I took my WaPo subscription to The Guardian. It’s a sad reflection on the US when a foreign paper has better reporting than any domestic source.

        The Guardian is my next choice if NYT doesn’t impress. That said, I tip The Guardian very often, so I probably send more money their way than if I had a subscription.
