Jon, you can have your opinion, but I don't agree. I think the NYT has covered this election so poorly, and continues to do so, that it outweighs anything else.

Jon, you can have your opinion, but I don't agree. I think the NYT has covered this election so poorly, and continues to do so, that it outweighs anything else. One example is that the NYT called for Biden to drop out of the race based on one debate where he was under the weather and barraged with fascist propaganda, with the station doing no live fact checking nor did they shut Trump's mike off when he ranted as they had promised to do. Trump has given numerous lying ranting speeches and have we hear the same response.*****
I have had correspondence with editors from the Times that is so off base and stupid it could be like talking to a MAGA or Russian Bot. Not something I am willing to spend my time doing. I am also not White and male and so might take more offense to it then you do. I live a multinational life and since I spend more time outside of the US right now than in it I want sources that do what I need them to do, when I consume US news which because of the election I am doing more so. The NYT does not fit the bill. In fact, since I stopped subscribing to them my quality of life has gone up. ******
I get the AP each day. While I do not always like their slant, I don't pay them money for their opinions. I get the Guardian. I donate to them, they are independent news. I read both the US and the European editions. I also get Foreign Affairs, the Carnegie Foundation for Peace, Substacks from people like Heather Cox Richardson, Timothy Snyder, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, and other people who also write books. I still get news from my US city, and neighborhood, which give me information that is useful. I would not say that about NYT.*****
As for fresh air, while my US city does not offer much of that, my city in the EU tends to have air quality in the green zone. Also, the walls of my house are made with loam, an ancient material that insulates for temperature and sound and also absorbs toxins from the air. it is having a big revival here. My drinking water is clean from the tap too, but it is night here and I am not going out. As it is still day in the US I hope you can get to fresh air too.
