@LnzyHou yeah, it's a dilemma. I hang on w/my modest donations, in large part b/c it's a source of real facts that's not behind a paywall.
They are far from perfect, but they are way better than the gateway pundits of the world, say.
Hard for me to accept their soft editorial policies. I worked for a Pulitzer winning newspaper. Facts are important. Waiting for WaPo or NYT to print first is cowardly.
They can still have my donations. The local station is a regular for me and they piss me off enough that I feel like they are at least trying to balance coverage. 🤷
@rpardee
Makes me wonder if I should stop financial support.
