1. Is the New York Times an often irritating newspaper, one that is often not up to the task of covering Trump era? Sure. Is it worth cancelling your subscription? No, the act of cancelling is based on misunderstanding what the paper is all about.

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/ …

For many, it's the crossword puzzle that locks them in.

I’ve cancelled my subscription three times now since 2016 but my wife’s deep yearning for the crossword puzzle keeps me coming back and I’m not even joking.

Apprciate point, but NYT once had a public editor & at least feigned more concern & reflection on responsibility of narrative choices. Even with Judith Miller, there was some recognition of fault. James Bennet getting OpEd signaled rise of defiant dishonest ideological faction
-
Bennet hired Stephens, whose first column was climate denying lies. And the entire paper has done this: Weiss's "Intellectual Dark Web" was an openly ideological narrative to serve a specific agenda. NYT may be more than its worst, but worst are well paid with little oversight

Doesn't the WaPo fulfill this mission just as well, if not better, with far fewer instances of head scratching nonsense?

Yes. But you have to read different parts of the NY Times and the WSJ and the FT differently. The business sections are more likely to be accurate because businesspeople need to be able to rely on its accuracy. But the op-ed and political sections have ideological functions.

What is the point of view? I don’t see any except for amoral cowardice, and that’s certainly not a viewpoint I need to hear.

Aristotle was dead. The Times is alive and it’s business model is built around a bizarre codependent trolling relationship with its subscribers. It’s a really unhealthy ecosystem.
