I just counted home page stories. The Daily Caller has five anti-Biden and six pro-Trump stories. The New York Times has seven anti-Biden stories and three that give this style of both-sides treatment to Trump. The Times really is sprinting off a cliff to satisfy their nepo-publisher’s vendetta.

The worst “all my friends at the country club” sort of coverage you can imagine.
Galaxy brain moves afoot “In recent days, some company leaders and Democratic political operatives have called the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, according to someone with knowledge of the calls, to gauge his interest in replacing Mr. Biden”
Big Donors Turn on Biden. Quietly.www.nytimes.com Some of the president’s past supporters want a new candidate, but they are leery of going public.

Yeah, I'm SURE that the CEO of JP fucking Morgan really has Biden's & dem voters best interests at heart....

The people who stay with the Times for Wordle are… driven by motivations I find opaque.

There are so many Wordle clones on the web. Some are quite good! There are a lot of ways to scratch that itch!

I'll probably miss Wirecutter most of all oddly I stopped reading much of their arts coverage a decade ago lot of things I felt were slips that in hindsight were actually slides

I found the Wirecutter declined noticeably in quality after the buy out. It wasn’t trash, but it was less good.

With the money I saved canceling my NYT I got a far far cheaper subscription to Consumer Reports which while it has blind spots is still really good

I canceled the NYT in a rage 7 years ago and am never coming back. I can play Wordle without a subscription but if that ever changes, I'll just stop playing.

for a long time I would still look at the frontpage and see what stories they ran, but I can't in good conscience even give them those clicks anymore they and the people working for them are dead to me henceforth

It's pretty disheartening to see the most influential news org push a narrative that, while important, is by no means the most important story right now. A week after a poor performance, the top 4 stories on the NYT homepage is about Biden's mental facilities. Meanwhile democracy dies in the open.

I feel like you’re writing that post daily at this point. It is so disheartening.

One of the other sad things is that the NYT does important journalism and it gets drowned by theses editorial decisions.

There’s a reason why I focus my criticism, even when it’s about an unethical hack like Maggie Haberman, on the editors, because this is reflective of their choices and their demands. It’s a leadership failure.

Odd how the NYT thinks it will be better off under a Trump dictatorship. Trump has repeatedly called them fake news.

Those silly liberals and their unimportant concerns...

Other than unsubscribing how can people harm the NYTimes’s business?

There's a reason they changed their name to FTFNYT.
