Now that WSJ is included in Apple News+, the NYT has a month after the election to clean their shit up, or I dump a decade-long subscription. And by "clean their shit up", I want news on my front page, not political discussion. And by news I mean "Hurricane FooBar Hits FL Coast", not "Hurricane FooBar Hits FL Coast While Trump Plays Golf".
Though I shall stay far, far away from that crazy train WSJ calls an "opinion page".
- CamperBob2 6y agoTrump bragged incessantly that, unlike Obama, he wouldn't have time to play golf if elected President. Instead, he's spent about twice as much time on the links as Obama did, including during various crises that would demand a normal president's full attention. If they didn't report how the President was responding to a given crisis, you'd criticize them for that. So I don't see how they can win here. They keep pounding the "Orange Man Bad!" drum because yes, in, fact, Orange Man is Bad, and people need to know that. It may not be news, but it's fit to print.
- flyinglizard 6y agoYou just fell into the same trap. It is tiring to read news from a Trump-centric context. I cancelled my NYT subscription last week because I feel I’m taken for ride over their politics.
- bccdee 6y agoIt's not "their" politics, it's just politics. What politicians do matters. Politics matters. "I don't want to hear about how our country is being run because 'politics'" is a really weird attitude to take towards a news outlet. This IS the news. Why do you think it's weird for it to get covered?

- michaelmrose 6y agoUltimately hurricane foobar hits FL coast is usually of purely regional interest whereas in the current context we are in the midst of an election that will be the most significant issue this decade.
