More than 200,000 people had canceled their digital subscriptions by midday Monday, according to two people at the paper with knowledge of internal matters. Not all cancellations take effect immediately. Still, the figure represents about 8% of the paper’s paid circulation of 2.5 million subscribers, which includes print as well. The number of cancellations continued to grow Monday afternoon.
Think of it in terms of “out in the open”. Fwiw most (all) media orgs have a bias and as such are more likely to endorse a certain candidate. That could be President, it could be mayor. Would you rather have that endorsement in the open or hidden in context?
I’d rather have neutral, fact based reporting. That one party endorses “alternative facts” was a choice by that party. It doesn’t mean that people more grounded in reality are biased.
In other words: if you are an US-American news source that reports neutrally, the vast majority of your staff will be voting Democrats.
You ain’t wrong. That’s what makes this world increasingly fucked up.
What’s that saying? “The truth tends to have a natural bias to the left” or some shit like that.
