[quote=Anonymous]I'm a little surprised how critical people are about the Post's recent news.  The opinion/editorial board is absolute garbage now, but the actual stories continue to be pretty good.  They've done a great job covering ICE and a decent job covering the other government ineptitude and ridiculous things going on.  (Their science coverage has never been good.)
I'm afraid if everyone covers no one will cover that stuff.   The NYTimes has not been nearly as critical of the administration in its actual news coverage as teh Post has.

A week or so ago, the Post ran a whole article that was just summarizing the SNL episode making fun of Trump.  It was not news, but it was also NOT Trump-friendly.  I was very surprised that no one yanked that article.  I htought it was the journalists basically thinking "I can't mock Trump myself, but I can report on SNL mocking him, as if it's entertainment news."  Clever.

In general, I agree with PP's that said that cancelling your WP subscription does not hurt Bezos, and probably helps Trump, but does undermine the long term viability of what has been one of the important papers in the world.[/quote]
