I'm still sticking with my 37 year subscription to the New Yorker because David Remnick is pro-Biden and pro-democracy. You have to admit that the New Yorker puts some pretty damning covers of trump out there.
I predict it will have more damning articles in the next 100 days. Generally, the FUD spreading print news world has thought itself immune from the 'official acts' of the felon narcissist; they hang with any rw oligarchs who own them, but whether they admit it or not, they will be saved from trumpcult's hate when Biden is re-elected.

After the debate I cancelled my NYT and Atlantic subscriptions that promote divisive FUD noise posed as news and analysis.
