1. good edit .....nt

[Lonestarblue]

2. I couldn't even read the Times today.

It’s filled with articles praising Trump and blaming Democrats for their own downfall.

4. Lol

I saw those and skipped right on by. At first I thought after this election I would just focus on work and tune the world out.

But I have decided instead to yes largely focus on my work for my sanity but only tune out the rubbish while keeping an eye on articles related to climate change/other eco crises, project 2025/extremism worldwide and the Trump-Musk economy.

13. Candide: "make our garden grow"

This is a sweet affirmation of your sentiments.

14. They made a Candide Operetta?

Thanks that was very cool . Loved it! And yes that was the gist of my statement .

We must make our garden grow.

5. i don't even look.

i don't buy that crap at all.

DU is all I can stomach just about right now. I am inexpressibly grateful for this site and this community of like-minded people.

[City Lights]

12. I cancelled my subscription to the Times this morning.

Screw them.

[NNadir]

3. Perfect

[Magoo48]

6. Yup.

Resist corrupt media.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. Any chance grass roots journalism cannibalizes Big Print and Cable media?

There are voices of dissent in many locales. Free newspapers, rags so to speak.

10. The Texas Tribune out of Austin is not too bad. I go to it as a source frequently. It's free, too.

[chouchou]

8. I don't want to hear any dumb-shit say: "This is the greatest country in the world"

....for at least the next four years..

[D23MIURG23]

9. NYT and WaPo dont exist as far as I'm concerned.

And that'll also be true when Trump starts targeting their journalists. I'll keep my powder dry for people and institutions worth saving.

[Retrograde]

11. More like 10 years (nt)

[mamacita75]

15. Fixed

however, I have never subscribed to the NYT or the WP.
I have Vanity Fair, Mother Jones, Smithsonian.
I have bought a year of The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New Republic and didn't renew them.
I did like WIRED but still too many magazines stacked up I couldn't keep up.
And that is one mushed ugly MF.

[NJCher]

17. yeah, I'm going to have to avoid pics of him at all costs

He really is ugly.

[FireUpChips10]

16. Not to mention downplaying or ignoring everything Biden has done. (nt)

[Oakenshield]

18. Absolutely correct.

I would only add that ALL Cable News is similarly complicit in treating Trump like he’s a legitimate alternative to the current administration. He should have been treated with consistent contempt and derision by every news outlet.

[Paladin]

19. +1,000,000.

In my decades at DU, I've never seen a more-worthy accusation. To hell with the New York Times. They're pimping for trump, to this very day.
