I think when we talk about unsubscribing these are responses to basic coup like behavior from our press. It is important to recognize when they do it. Continuing to listen to things that you inherently know is wrong is unhealthy to one's self confidence.

I have many other news outlets that i subscribe to. I feel they have lost their way and are no longer unbiased. Hit ‘em in the pocketbook.

I agree! I have been doing the same thing. Let their MAGA audiences support them.

The MAGAts are the visible supporters, the rich ones are coming out of the woodwork every day. Like Timothy Mellon. They aren’t hiding anymore

Yes. He is the biggest funder of Trump and Kennedy. Two of a kind, but not peas in a pod.

Same consequence, that fact seems to escape some malcontents

I unsubscribed to New York Times. And told them why.

I did just yesterday and the WAPO at the same time.

Do you think they are getting new subscribers from the right that makes up the difference?

Maybe Gary. I do know the Times comments have been overtaken by anti-Biden, anti-Democrats types and you have to have a subscription to comment.

As far as WaPo I have seen the comments overtaken as well. It's a lot of extreme MAGA stuff because WaPo does not censor.

To answer your question I doubt it because publications are still considered elite, "leftist" papers.

What do you think?

I don't really know, but I think the MAGAs already have their publications and media so probably not as many would be signing up as leaving.
