Showing Original Post only (View all)I don't want to buy an online subscription to WaPo and NYT [View all]
but I want to be able to read the articles posters mention here. Posters are generally good about posting the gist of the story when they refer to an article from one of these papers, not just posting the link, but I often am left wanting to know more. I am assuming most people here, like me, do not have online subscriptions.
I wonder if we could all chip in somehow and buy DU a subscription to WaPo and NYT? We could share the passwords and thus be able to participate better in discussions that arise from stuff printed in these papers.
Maybe it could be a benefit of the star membership, or maybe a "star-plus" membership?

Also since Bezos owns Wapo, I believe 6 months is included with Amazon Prime
