I think quality journalism is worth supporting.

And yes I am glad I did.

NY Times & Wapo. Online subscriptions for both not actual hard copy. I did it for that exact reason, support for free speech.

it and will keep it active.

ETA: I had subscribed to a trial WaPo, also, but dropped it after the election. I just got an email giving a deep discount, so I reactivated.

That brings access to digital. I still prefer hard copy on Sunday for that nearly all day experience.

Recently subscribed to the Guardian and Atlantic. Thinking about Wapo.

Refuse to subscribe to my local, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, for their repeated support of Walker. Instead, when I hit the pay wall, I exit and then clear my history. That brings me back to square one in case I need to read more pertinent local news.

Also, Times just said the meeting is back on. Trump will go to the New York Times for meetings. Off-the-record will be with the editorial staff and on-the-record will be with reporters. Times did not cave like cable news.

Currently, subscriptions for new, first-time subscribers are dirt cheap, and might send a message to the orange buffoon with a mangy merkin on his dome.

yesterday, or the day before. to support free speech. LATimes too.
i've also given to Slate, Mother Jones, SPLC, DAPL, on and on it seems.
i'll probably have to give it a rest at some point.
i've been a member of TYT and David Pakman for a long time.
never more important. we have a president elect who is apparently ignorant of the the 1st amendment.

nothing is perfect, but the Times is still the "Newspaper of Record" as far as the record goes.

can afford to should subscribe to one or two papers. Free speech is going to go away if there is no profit motive for it. Sad to say.

I'm torn. I want to support good journalism, but:

1) Do I want to read about drumpf all the time? I was planning on avoiding a lot of news.
2) I hate the way the media, NYT chief among them, grilled HRC for nonexistent "scandals" to appear equal - thus resulting in drumpf.
3) Will NYT roll over for drumpf the way the media seems to do? They met with him today. Consensus seems to be people patting him on the back for meeting with a paper.
