The NYT routinely posts poo poo about "moderates" then it takes like five minutes after the story is published for people to look into them and see they're not moderate at all.

The New York Times Pitchbot is 100 percent accurate about them. They cry financial hardship then acquire decent sports journalism for half a billion. I wish paywalls kept them from being talked about on Twitter, Christ.

Anyone who advocates for the status quo is conservative/reactionary even if they aren't Republican, and it doesn't take much thinking and noticing how things are going to realize that's a dumbshit position to hold. The NYT is VERY socio-economically conservative, just not particularly Conservative-as-political-identity.

If you've been paying for the times for a while you've been funding David Brooks' midlife crisis for at least 15 years. Reason enough to cancel IMO.

I wonder how widespread the sentiment is, along with the CHUDosphere that knows the Times is evil because their local AM Radio host says so because when I went to cancel they offered to give me an additional year at $1.66 a month.

I'm half curious how much the product changes with NYT esque click bait. Their editorial standards are garbage but I dunno how much their poo poo will spill into the sport part. It's the "buoying the news vanguard to fascism" part that people aren't reconciling.

Dexo posted:My guess is the Athletic doesn't change much editorially for at least like a year or two Right, I'd guess they'd run them pretty separately from that standpoint, though I don't know if I'd be shocked if a couple of the high priced writers end up not getting renewed, but that was probably mostly inevitable. My guess is the biggest change will be an option to get some sort of NYT/Athletic Bundle for nominally higher than just 1 to try to get a large combined footprint.

It's not painting leaving your job in a negative light or anything quote:The payoffs for some pandemic quitters have been significant. Nikissa Granados, 26, was weighing whether to leave her job at an Orange County, Calif., school in 2020 to do freelance social media marketing. She made the leap after seeing two of her teammates resign.

mactheknife posted:"his home in Hinsdale, Illinois" is all you need to know the guy is a rich fucker loving Hinsdale, I hate that town. The man is a loving psycho if he makes that much and focuses on poo poo like that. If I even wanted to be a bigger pedantic, I'd point out that this guy cost himself a lot more by leaving the Chipotle and going back home to make a sandwich. His time I'm sure is worth more than the dollar he saved.

More on sports, less on the centrist paper of record. It’s possible things will change with The Athletic but that time isn’t really now.

This is SOP with pretty much every newspaper subscription and not just the Times. They'll always offer you a deal if you try to cancel. Also, not sure how cancelling the Athletic is going to get the NYTimes to change... and there's no ethical consumption under capitalism in the first place.

I'm not going to defend saying it on national tv because lmao that's not something that should leave the group chats. But I still don't think he was wrong about RG3 being a cornball lol. He deserved whatever punishmnet he got on that one tho, because that was incredibly stupid thing to say publicly on like loving First Take.

rare Magic card l00k posted:My assumption was Deadspin's goal is to create massive arguments in their comment sections to drive traffic, but apparently they don't have comment sections? They turned off Kinja on Deadspin entirely after the staff exodus because it was mostly just people making GBS threads on Spanfeller and whatnot. The comments still being off over two years later is kind of hysterical. A Defector sub probably isn't the best bang for your buck deal on the internet but yeah reading a few trial articles from them should give you a good idea whether or not you'd enjoy it. Even if I'm only reading a few articles a week from them some weeks I'm happy to pay a premium to help keep them around.

Ray Ratto's posts make Defector worth it to me. Based on the Defector comments, they're still ready to shitpost all over Deadspin the minute the comments are reopened.
