I cancelled WaPo yesterday. Subscribing to NYT now.

EDIT:

Ehh, nyt is putting out so many anti trans articles and using lies and misinformation so them endorsing Kamala doesn't mean much.

It isn't about the Harris endorsement. It is about billionaire interference with the editorial board. Both the LA Times and the Washington Post had their endorsements ready for publication and in both cases their billionaire owners called in and killed them.

I don't need to agree with everything a publication writes. In fact, I want to hear differing opinions and takes. What I want is to know that what I am reading is what the professional journalists in the building wanted me to read and not what some billionaire puppet master told them to say. I need integrity. I also respect a bad take far more than silence and cowardice in the face of adversity.

EDIT: To clarify...I would not support an outlet that only spews out bad takes either.

Yeah, i just think someone is pushing or wants the anti trans stories along with them using bad/misleading data or outright wrong info on purpose that I don't trust them as a whole. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/fact-check-new-york-times-publishes

Yep. The NYT can get fucked as long as they continue intentionally spreading misinformation on trans issues and basically assisting in the legislative genocide of trans people across the US.

I get that its important to you they endorsed someone but do you really want to be spending money at the place that lied about the Oct 7th sexual assault stories and then refused to admit it? Like really we have forgotten already?

NYT has a bad track record for covering up genocide going back to stalin

The thing with subscriptions is that one can cancel any time. I missed the Oct 7th stuff because I never read the NYT. I am about to start. If I smell bullshit, I will cancel and support a different outlet. No biggie.

Bezos messed up though because his WaPo stunt made me look at my subs with Amazon. So now I have cancelled WaPo, Audible, Kindle Unlimited, Amazon cloud storage, Prime Video ad-free, and we have just committed to purchasing significantly less from Amazon. If that works out, I will cancel Prime. The net effect is (or will be) tens of thousands of dollars less spent with Amazon per year.

Didn't they drop a bunch of pro Russian narrative articles recently?

[–] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yes and some right wing opinion pieces.

They are decent, you get a free subscription to “the athletic” alongside it.

That’ll teach ‘em!

TL;DR:

This unequivocal, dispiriting truth — Donald Trump is not fit to be president — should be enough for any voter who cares about the health of our country and the stability of our democracy to deny him re-election.

For this reason, regardless of any political disagreements voters might have with her, Kamala Harris is the only patriotic choice for president.

Orly?

If you dont vote for my guy, you hate america 🤡

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, yeah.

Kamala is "America, warts and all" in terms of her background and her policies. She isn't great, but she gives a shit about the constitution.

trump actively wants to destroy the constitution and our government in the name of making himself a dictator who answers only to putin.

So yeah. If you don't vote for Kamala you hate America.

Just reposted your comment. Gold! https://lemm.ee/post/45833448

[–] Infinite@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago

In this particular case, if you vote for the guy, you've missed the point of history and only have a few possible reasons, none of which are flattering.

[–] Landsharkgun@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago

Yes. If you don’t vote for Claudia de la Cruz, you hate America.

Goebbels himself couldn’t have put it better
