Good evening Tom, and all. I have Krugman's Op Ed Tabbed on my screen and need to read it. I wrote to NYT again, forwarding Jeff Tiedrich's Sub from yesterday morning. This is some of what I have to say on this subject :

Good evening Tom, and all. I have Krugman's Op Ed Tabbed on my screen and need to read it. I wrote to NYT again, forwarding Jeff Tiedrich's Sub from yesterday morning. This is some of what I have to say on this subject :
Dear Sirs and Madams,
Who's side are you on? Democracy or tyranny? You have done everything you could to demean Joe Biden over the past three years. You acknowledged receiving the Robert Hubble Substack I forwarded to you on Feb. 5, but have not responded. I know you are busy, but this one by Jeff Tiedrich is speaking to YOU. Does the First Amendment mean anything to you anymore? Are you comfortable with the threat to the free press? You have to stop carrying water for Putin and advocate for our Constitution and the American people. The threat is real. It is your responsibility to keep our nation informed of this danger. The absolute political smear of the Hur report? Do you accept without question all the speculative lies within it and those of the Trump cohorts? The story that you missed was that our president was on the phone to many world leaders, as well as leaders of the US military, constantly since the Hamas attack on October 7, within the previous twenty-four hours and he made time to meet with special counsel Hur while juggling world affairs so fast that anyone else's head would spin, but not our president. You missed that story and published hit pieces on your front page instead.
Its business, business demands returns, returns depend upon reader engagement from both sides. Alienating one side cuts your engagement significantly. The Financial gurus at the Times care not about integrity or even their long term loss of the First Amendment, its all about their P&L statement
So I guess you saw what one of CNN's show was about yesterday...all Biden's age...seems to me there are plenty of accomplishments they could be reporting on. The media in these past few years has collectively become almost as bad as Trump himself. Hyping idiotic themes and not following anything that really matters.
As I recall (I'm Biden's age, so give me a break, will ya?), Hur was the individual Trump agreed (or wante) to be the Special Prosecutor. I seem to recall that there were three names put forth to Garland. Am I mistaken?

And there, for the benefit of everyone else, is the reason to be a paid subscriber. They have to pay attention.
EXACTLY! That is why I put it there.
“They have to pay attention”
Except when they don’t

Thank you. We all must hold the media’s feet to the fire.
Thanks, Ransom. I’m still a NYT subscriber and need to start putting PAID subscriber when I write them,

Just saw that they got my money today. They will get my opinion tonight

I can't watch CNN since they went over the edge. Ratings is not news, it's money. Just another car chase.
Following Rupert down the money hole. He and Fox were bad enough, but to see how MSM is slurping at the trough to catch up with Fox is sickening.
