As I wrote elsewhere, trending on Threads yesterday was cancelthenytimes. Literally hundreds reported that they were canceling, many lifelong subscribers. I have a sneaking feeling that a lot of us old hippies are savvy enough to spot a con when we see one...whether it is a clown slathered in orange makeup or a "journalist" working as a Russian asset. It appears that Putin has played the NYT really well and his agents are having a field day. Sorry for the snark. BTW, O'Donnell was fierce tonight.

Lawrence definitely was fierce.

Canceling a subscription is a nice way to get a small sugar high of self-righteousness. They don't lose anything from the action. I'll continue to read it to refute it. And to republish things like Dr. Krugman's article.

Fierce he was Ellen. Us old hippies can see through the smoke pretty well too. Like I kept my Substack of Steve Schmidt to keep an eye on him, I think I will continue the NYT for the same reason, and to hit them with letter after letter, like the one above.

Yes, what you said Ellen. And thanks for the O'Donnell tip. Will watch. (P.S. canceled my NY Times a year ago).
