If you still have a NYT subscription, please consider cancelling it

I tried to (because I'm cheap and could use just use Twitter), then they gave me three months free. Anyway, most news websites are going to funnel in some BS. This thread is weird.
Writing a printed letter is a better idea, and it's better than canceling your subscription, too.
How is it the New York Times' fault that your country's intelligence agencies are corrupt? Their job is to report the news, not pick it.
Yep, I canceled them a month ago for some bullshit story or another. I wish I could still do the crosswords but oh well. Lots of other crosswords out there.
Sorry, not doing it at the moment. There is probably one story or OP ed every 1-2 months that doesn't sit right with me, but dozens of great ones come out a day. Not to mention Cooking, crosswords, and A.O Scott's reviews. And you know what? I'm sick of Trump and his base trying to kill it in a medium that is already struggling.
So no, I'm going to ignore the hyperbole by certain users on this forum against them and keep subscribing for now. Even if I want Habberman gone.

Yeah... not gonna do that. Perfectly happy with NYT, and especially the magazine. Just read their recent piece on poverty in America ("Americans Want to Believe Jobs Are the Solution to Poverty. They're Not."), it was pretty great. I want to keep supporting this kind of reporting.
I remember the horseshit that went on during the Iraq War and with Judith Miller. Not to be trusted.
I think some people expect the news to not report on stories if they feel it will benefit the wrong political party.
I'm only 21 but I thought the NYtimes was like the New Yorker in that both vehemently condemned the Iraq War? Am I wrong?
Child sit down, and listen. NYTimes was the mouth piece that justified the iraq war
Damn I remember skimming both as a kid and guess I got them mixed up. Did they eventually turn against it or am I just remembering the New Yorker satirize the shit out of it
I'd be shocked if a written letter meant more to the NYT editorial board than a canceled subscription.
A letter certainly wouldn't hurt though.

Here's what the Times left out of its Chalabi story today and here's what the newspaper continues to grapple with eleven years after President Bush ordered the costly invasion of Iraq: Chalabi was reportedly the main source of bogus information that former Times reporter Judith Miller used in her thoroughly discredited work about Iraq's supposedly brimming stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. It was Chalabi who wove Saddam Hussein fiction and it was Miller, then a widely respected Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who gave it the Times stamp approval as the paper did its part to lead the nation to war. (Miller is now a Fox News contributor.)
