I have been a NY Times subscriber for a long time. Just recently, I dropped my subscription to them. I can no longer support a paper which I can barely recognize anymore. I kept my WaPo one and added one to you.
Excellent article, excellent points, as infuriating as they are. The NY Times article you mentioned about Enid, OK, really galled me, with the kid glove treatment of Crabtree you describe and the false equivalency. Maybe this is my bias, but I felt that she got more sympathetic treatment in the article than Waddell. Single-minded pursuit of profit (even if it is indirect) truly debases, disfigures, and deforms whatever it touches. If we are to survive into the future as a species, we absolutely have to figure out how to combat greed and successful sociopaths who end up with far too much power like Murdoch has.
