1. Excellent!

Let's hope they keep it up when he starts with the libel shit.

[bdamomma]

2. our press needs to fight back

[babylonsister]

3. Hmm. Why does Judith Miller come to mind? nt

[mountain grammy]

4. Hmmmm.... indeed.

[frazzled]

7. Well, they forced her to resign 11 years ago

And the executive editor from that time is gone, too. But let's keep that grudge and throw the baby out with the bathwater. Because, you know, the New York Times is part of the "lamestream media" and because they once had a bad reporter, everything they do is suspect.

19. I don't have a grudge, I have a memory, tyvm. nt

[malaise]

21. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

5. I bought a digital sub to them and Wapo just yesterday. We need to support them.

Or else, Trump will go around and Brietbart and Twitter will win the message of the day. That CANNOT happen.

The press is basically our one best hope here to thwart danger and the undoing of the things we have built and love about this country.

[barbtries]

14. just what i'm planning to do

question: can you pay a year up front or do you have to authorize weekly payments?

[boston bean]

15. You can buy a year sub at both... I went for the monthly..

[barbtries]

17. great, thanks!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

25. I have a digital sub to the WaPo

Pretty inexpensive for me since I'm an Amazon Prime member and Jeff Bezos owns the paper.

They are not cutting the Mango Mussolini any slack.

[hatrack]

6. Except during elections, of course . . . .

.

[deurbano]

8. The NYT is one of the major culprits in this disaster.

Whitewater.... Clinton Cash.... Email, Email, Email.... nonstop crap forever and ever.

[Zippyzagnut]

9. Buy a subscription

If you read them, subscribe and pay. We must all support the freedom of the 4th Estate.

[Equinox Moon]

10. Freedom of the Press

[deurbano]

12. If only the NYT hadn't spent the lion's share of 2016 election coverage trying to smear Clinton,

even as their endless investigations and "revelations" (from sources like Breitbart!!!) never uncovered ANYthing real, but could still be used to bury her in innuendo. They very effectively reinforced the "lying and corrupt" narrative pushed by the sleazy right wing operatives, making her approval rating plummet. Mission accomplished.

[oldtime dfl_er]

23. Agree

I am subscribing to sites that actually - during the election - followed the rules of the statement the NY Times is now espousing. I've subscribed to the Washington Post and the Guardian, for the moment.

[barbtries]

13. i'm going to subscribe now.

unlimited access. resist the movement to restrict freedom of the press.

[LAS14]

16. Anything to do if one is already subscribed??

[Ligyron]

18. Gift subscriptions?

Holidays are coming up.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

20. we could no longer afford it. But millions must step up.

Our local NPR station is awarding subscriptions to NY TIMES with membership.


More if you can afford it. We subscribe to LA TIMES.

[bhikkhu]

24. "Challenge Accepted" is what I read

A traditional newspaper with solid principles and a commitment to real journalism is a national treasure.

[Backwoodsrider]

26. correct.. most of the time

NY Times is good at reporting and some investigative work most of the time but if the last 20 years are any indicating they are also good at putting out pro-establishment propaganda at a moment notice. They seem to just be a phone call away from the shot callers in the GOP/Establishment machine and have reported some unsubstantiated crap.
