lets not throw out the baby with the bathwater
The NYT is not a baby. At _best_ they're a pail of dirt that occasionally has some flecks of gold mixed in with the mud.
I think we need more babies. I would be ecstatic to pay for an alternative source of national US journalism that actually has some analysis and decent writing. NYT is a shadow of its former self, apnews reads to me like USnews. international helps round it out, but it's not super in depth for the US.
Only thing business understand is money. And they should be punished for their past malicious actions. Maybe in 100 or 200 years we might consider some forgiveness.
