NYTimes and the big media papers in general seem to have this entitled arrogance. Like they feel entitled to have an audience or something.

I've noticed similar predatory behavior from car and driver magazine. they would send me a bill marked "overdue" even though I never reknewed my subscription. they would harass me repeatedly over and over saying that I owed them money. It's fraudulent, and I will never subscribe to any print media or media subscriptions again!
