This morning I cancelled my Washington Post subscription over WaPo's decision not to endorse Kamala Harris.
Instead I have bookmarked the following News Sites:
- Associated Press (AP) - Neutral
- Reuters - Leans Right
- Semafor.com - Neutral
- Public Broadcasting (PBS) - Leans Left
- Atlantic Journal Constitution (AJC) - Center Right
- ProPublica.org - Neutral
And instead will be donating the money I saved, to local newspapers.
Redditors are fking up Googleโs AI search blurbs and Iโm kind of OK with that.

The donation was meant to stay under wraps. Mr. Gates, one of the founders of Microsoft, has not publicly endorsed Ms. Harris
