The @nytpitchbot.bsky.social honestly keeps me informed about what is going on with the NYT. I am not wasting my money reading the NYT and WP now that both have become corporate news organisations complicit in covering for Trump.
Does he have a substack too? I'll have a look at what he has to say once he's no longer there. I'm not sure why you bother to post links to that site. Habit?
I’ll keep writing this so we can all be on the same page. Republicans are in power. They can stop this TODAY. Their voters could stop this today. Canada was brilliant to target red states. Americans should do that as well! It’s hardball time. Red States are going on my boycott list beside companies
Another clever move would be a 'long tail' way for most of could afford to subscribe to smorgasbord of the great talent instead of 1 or 2 we may be able to afford.
I'd like that, especially if they could manage how many items a day land in my inbox. I found the Contrarian (went there when Jennifer Rubin left the Post) overly frequent, but they're toning it down I think
It would be super helpful. I have an NYT subscription because everyone links there and so much of US politics affects us here over the pond. I cannot afford ten subscriptions on substack that would give me the same range of topics, but I might be able to afford a bundle with a good selection.
I don't really trust what I read in the NYT any more. Everything is "both sides now" and observations of fact are rephrased as suggestions, hints, rumors, stuff that one side says and can be refuted. Trump has everyone scared to say anything ... he will sue and you will cave.
Sadly, the Times has been doing this for a long time - when they're not simply carrying the Republicans' water a la Judith Miller and the run-up to the Iraq war. It's always been balanced by some of the very best reporting-but that may now be disappearing. Can't have Cheeto look bad now, can we?
For me, NYTimes is going the way that WAPO did last year. I dumped WAPO and cancelled my account after Jefty pulled Kamala's endorsement and then killed the Ann Telnaes cartoon.
Now, dumping NYTimes too, particularly after what they did to the Professor.
I've always been amused by the WSJ. Its news articles are about fortunes lost due to corporate malfeasance and communities ruined by corporate recklessness, while it's editorial pages are full of essays promoting less regulation. I'm afraid the NYT is headed to the same spot.
Seriously considering terminating my subscription over what appears to be going on at NYT. So called “Paper of Record” fails dismally in reporting an ongoing administrative coup in its own government.
I left the NY Times after they frustrated you so much that you quit. I blasted them in a cancellation request. I feel more vindicated now since they got rid of Coy. It is not just the Op-Eds that are getting worse; the news has gone down too in quality.
After 50 yrs, I no longer consider NYT/WaPo foundation blocks of our nation. But they do blind pig a good article occasionally. I unsubscribed and treat them like just another entertainment source. Come back only when they beg at the lowest price possible. $1/wk or $1/mo respectively.
They keep Ross Douthat and his nonsensical rants, and Brett Stephens grumbling about yesteryear, and cut Coy? Rethinking the value of the Times after almost 50 years of readership. It's descending into a puzzles and recipes website.
Yeah, I get it. I asked myself what was more dear, and the answer revealed itself. Krugman is alive-and-well and is getting my $$, so on I walk on the wild side and find my way.
I was a print subscriber for more than the last decade but I cancelled my subscription after the election. The NYT was so contemptuous and dismissive toward all of the valid criticism of its aggressive normalization and favorable coverage of Trump during the campaign that I had to pull the plug
No publication is going to be perfect, but if the Times is going to be that proudly hostile toward any critique from the left, then it shouldn't get our money. Cancel and spend the savings on a subscription to a local news source and/or a donation to a nonprofit newsroom, as I did
I do feel like the headlines and high level presentation and framing of coverage have gotten worse in recent years. But then again don't forget that the NYT helped tank the Gore campaign and probably was the single most valuable outlet for Bush in his efforts to gin up support for the Iraq invasion
I didn't know the guy till this post and boy, PC's articles are pure gold.
I mean I am considering delaying when to take SS and whether to do a Roth conversion based on what I just read. I have read many articles and watched many youtube videos about all that, they guy is just that good!
As important as Treasury’s payment systems are, the Bureau of Fiscal Services has an even more consequential (and exploitable) system.
It handles the auctions for all US debt instruments. The US bond market plays a crucial role not just for the US financial system—but for the entire world.
Maybe they want people like Ezra who don’t really have any particular subject matter expertise and can more easily adopt a middle of the road perspective.

They're all kissing up to Trump.
The Times is bending its knee in front of Trump?
Very unsettling and sad
