2. The Times isn't, despite its own marketing, a "resistance" newspaper. It's a resolutely establishment newspaper with a tropism towards both-sides centrism. It's also a good newspaper that publish a lot of good journalism amid the usual assortment of access driven fluff.

3. Someone (Dwight Macdonald? Irving Howe?) said in the 1930s Marxists would read the Times the way medieval Christians read Aristotle, as an important authority even if a pagan one. That's a good way to read the paper: a source of information from a point-of-view not our own.

4. Ultimately the kerfuffle about the Times is about misunderstanding the paper & the sources of resistance. The paper is just a paper. Resistance can use stuff in the paper but the sources of resistance are elsewhere. I explain more here: https://www.thenation.com/article/new-york-times-headline-trump/ …

isn’t the paper not being what you wanted it to be as good a reason as any to cancel?

There are better newspapers. People have limited money to spend on news in this day and age. Enough with telling people what they should or shouldn't be doing with their money.
-
Curious. Can you name the better newspapers and how they are better.

@nytpolitics is a blight on the nation, has been for decades. Constantly normalizing or ignoring appalling behavior and even malfeasance from the Rs, while pillorying the Dems over trivial nonsense, even going to years-long war against them, as with both Clinton's and Gore. -
And, they're arrogant and underrating with it. They will not, can not seem to reform. They have never grappled with their sins of 2016, their obsession with Her Emails - an issue they could give nary a shit about when half the Trump adminstration is caught using private email.

What percent of those claiming to cancel their NYT sub actually do it? Slim, I'd say. And does Times offer a rebate to those who actually cancel?
-
They do offer to lower the price if you cancel. I cancelled a few months ago because the price is like $14.99 a month digitally.
