It was with deep sadness that I canceled my 30+ year subscription to the NY Times last month. I think it's more a case of the Times trying to woo Gen Z, than necessarily the right per se. Still, I feel let down and left behind.
I read a lot of analyses and watch/listen to podcasts—selecting with care what and who I read. And in small doses watch or read our now normalized propaganda and or “thoughts and data for sale.” This analysis, well conceived and organized for maximal effect, deserves as large of an audience as can be given it. (Syntax a bit weird in previous sentence). We are living month after month and more months to come of baffling “what’s going on?” To an observer the public appears more interested in the newest nail polish or latest weight loss fad than being serious. Since national eyes are on NC this election go round. And PoliticsNC possesses strong reputation and trustworthiness. Extend the reach.
Unfortunately, it’s all about the horse race and making money while we potentially elect a criminal and want to be dictator. I believe that the silent majority of people will do the right thing in November but it would be nice if the NYT would have our Country’s best interest as a priority.
You speak with truth and clarity here. There is just enough of what I want to know in the NYT to keep (only my on-line) subscription. But like one of your other readers, I am very close to dishing the NYT, because I feel they are selling out on bringing the truth out about the defections from Republicans while unmercifully bashing Biden for being old. Our entire democratic order is under threat from a narcissist demagogue running for President of the United States - that is the story they should be covering in depth every day!
This is probably the bests explanation of this phenomena that I've read. My sister lives in DeKalb County, TN. Her farm is about 50 miles from the state capitol, yet "The Tennessean" is not sold or delivered anywhere in the entire county. How are they supposed to know what's going on in the world?
FALSE EQUIVALENCY would be a great title for a book on the subject, or maybe a good name for a punk rock band.

It's all so very, very, true. Astonishingly, I remain optimistic.
