I'm canceling my subscription to the New York Times

[redstateblues]

This latest N.Y. Times “bombshell” which alleges that Rod Rosenstein was mulling over wearing a wire and that he approached John Kelly about invoking the 25th Amendment just does not ring true. This competition to have the latest scoop has lead to cutting some corners and giving Trump fuel for his deep state bullshit. I’m going to give the Washington Post a shot. I’m disappointed to say the least. It almost has a “Judith Miller” stink like it was planted by Bannon.

1. The other day I referenced a NYT article and felt dirty doing it

I don't know what is up with them lately.

[manor321]

2. Makes sense

The WashPo is doing much better than NYT, without too much of the awful NYT nonsense.

Even worse is that the NYT never apologizes. Remember the article near the election about how the FBI saw no link between Russia and Trump? They've never commented on it.

[Laffy Kat]

3. I cancelled mine last week.

I only got the Sunday edition but it was just too much money and I was always mad at them about something. I, too, prefer the WashPo, although I don't subscribe.

[MaryMagdaline]

4. I left them when Thomas Friedman backed Iraq War

Gave them another chance during the Obama years

I think the Hillary smears were the last straw.

[msongs]

5. did nyt interview rosenstein and ask him directly? otherwise this is all BS. nt

[justie18]

13. No

In fact the article was based on sources that were not even in the meeting! Seems like a plant from the WH, as Michael Schmidt admits his sources only heard this second or third hand.

The Washington Post's response is based on people who actually were in the meeting and stated Rosenstein was clearly being sarcastic.

I have a subscription to the Washington Post.

[redstateblues]

23. That reporting has the ring of truth

[Hoyt]

6. I like WP recently, but it's not like NYT is supporting trump, even

with this piece. In fact, to anyone other than an inveterate trumpster, this does not reflect well on trump.

[donkeypoofed]

7. I was just about to subscribe to NYT, but the WashPo will get the money instead

Fuck'em. Washington Post actually fact checks, or so I hear. The Times pisses me off in that they're perfect stooges for Spanky in running this fake-story. It was one of his camp that started it! Now they think they're in a good position to fire Rosenstein- and that thought makes me livid!!!

[oasis]

8. NYTimes with the lamest "bombshell" of the decade. nt

[Cha]

9. Yay on all you guys! I never had a

subscription.

[Little Star]

10. Me too but.....

I'm up in The White Mountains of NH for a long weekend but as soon as I get home that is the first item on my list. I am pissed. Totally! I will keep my subscription to The Washington Post, hopefully they don't go NYT on me or I'll cancel them too!

[CentralMass]

11. You are helping tRumps "Failing NYT" narrative.

[Totally Tunsie]

16. That's my thought too...

fulfilling tRump's prophesy.

[redstateblues]

22. I subscribed in 2016 because I knew Trump didn't like the Times

This kind of weak journalism only gives Trump a flimsy excuse to fire Rosenstein and shut down Mueller. My money will be better sent going to Beto, Bredesen and those who have volunteered to be on the front line

[liberal N proud]

12. Oh, please, this is a right wing/trumpkin move

Just because you don't like what they posted, don't have a knee jerk reaction.

[redstateblues]

21. This shoddy reporting plays right into Trump's "fake news" meme.

It doesn’t pass the smell test

[tandem5]

14. I'm going to keep opening an incognito tab and...

read past my allotted free article count!

[deurbano]

18. That's what I do! After their crap election coverage ("Clinton Cash!"... "New E-mails Jolt Clinton

Campaign!"... while also claiming "FBI Sees No Clear Link to Russia!"... etc.)... not to mention Whitewater, anything by Maureen Dowd and too many other columnists, Judith Miller (ad nauseam)... I won't pay for it. I know there are some excellent NYT reporters and columnists, but too many editorial decisions suck in ways that have heavily contributed to developments that have severely damaged our country.

[alfredo]

15. Every now and then I get irritated with my wife.

I don’t divorce her because of that. My car had a bad tail light harness, I got it fixed, i didn’t take it to the junk yard. The New York Times writes something I don’t like, but 95% of the time I like and trust what they write.

Trump calls them fake news, so it would be strange if all of a sudden he trusted them.

[redstateblues]

20. He uses the NY Times all the time to bolster arguments when it suits his purpose

This is a big one-especially when it gives him a good excuse to fire Rosenstein. It just doesn’t pass the smell test

[alfredo]

30. The Times are dangling red meat before the GOP lawmakers.

The NYT knows if they didn’t print this story, WAPO would.

[alfredo]

33. First to print is the name of the game. Rosenstein has been living on borrowed time.

The Thursday meeting will, hopefully for trump, a distraction from the good Doctor's testimony.

[SCantiGOP]

17. Is it now a progressive position

to oppose objective journalism?
Should the NYT have hidden a story that they obviously believe to be true because it doesn’t conform to a liberal viewpoint, like the NationL Enquirer?
As a rabid supporter of the free press, I couldn’t disagree more with the OP.

[redstateblues]

19. Sorry-it has to do with shoddy journalism and the rush to get a "bombshell"

story for the weekend without adequate sourcing

[brooklynite]

24. Well, THAT'll teach them...

[SoCalDem]

25. Odd how they can do so much damage

while taking bows for their liberal tilt


remember their Judith Miller/ Chalabi nonsense?

31. +1. Never forget

[RandiFan1290]

26. Was an easy decision after they helped bush with the Iraq invasion.

How quickly we forget

[bearsfootball516]

27. I like the NYT, but I'm subscribed to WaPo.

I highly recommend them. Some of the best journalism I've ever seen comes from the Washington Post.

[dembotoz]

28. i will stick with the times, i am dumping my local paper the milwaukee journal

if you wanna see what a crap paper is....check them out

[meow2u3]

29. I already canceled my New York Times subscription

And I let them know why--because of the propagandistic hit pieces masquerading as news, namely, the article suggesting that Rod Rosenstein was considering invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.

That hit piece smacks of a Trump-style conspiracy theory, i.e., elaborate lie. I will not pay to read such bullshit!

[RhodeIslandOne]

34. Wait.

So do you think it's ridiculous to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump?

[Gothmog]

32. I subscribe to Washington Post

I have not forgiven the NYT for the crap printed by NYT in 2016
