Why would I pay for a media that humiliates me, writes biased articles and tells me that I am a bad person because my political views differ from theirs?

I am actually kind of glad that the media landscape is changing, because they way it has been has been terrifying. I'm not american, so I can't speak for new york times but the layoffs in the shit-media that was buzzfeed and others like it is just good news.

I'd rather see a world without a news media than with them being the only option. But I do pay, for alt-media.




You do understand that the people laid off at Buzzfeed were not the people at the Buzzfeed media side of the house, they were actual reporters on the Buzzfeed news side?


Yes I do understand that. I don't really see any real difference between the two though.


It means more fun quizzes to find out which Disney princess your personality is the closest to and less actual news reporting.


The shaming of half of the country by some of the mainstream medias such as the NYT is definitely part of the reason why they are losing it in the long term.

I politically mostly agree with the NYT, but I can't stand their morale high ground with the continuous shaming of the other side of the aisle.


It's just not the NYT, really. It is most of the media companies. I don't live in the US but here it's even worse because it's all one-sided. At least you guys have options.
