In reply to the discussion: I don't want to buy an online subscription to WaPo and NYT [View all]Raine1967
(11,589 posts)36. Asking DU to do this is really crappy.
In the end, You get what you pay for.
I suggest supporting journalism and pay for at least a digital subscription if you don't live in the area of those two papers.
We go one step further. We have our local paper delivered every day. That paper happens to be the Washington Post.
When I lived in Atlanta, we had the AJC delivered.
Before that, When I lived in NY, I picked up the Times to read on my way into work.
Asking DU to do this is really rather unscrupulous. Instead of asking everyone to chip in and have DU do this, how about you spend a few bucks a month and support a free press while we still have it?

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