I canceled my subscription to the NY Times and told them why. [View all]

It was the highly offensive lie on their front page yesterday about how fit, tall, handsome, and possessed of stamina that doddering senile, criminal, uneducated, stooped thug Trump is, along with praise for his violent, racist crowds.

I told the Times person that if I wanted propaganda, I'd watch Fox News.

Good job. No point closing your subscription without telling them. mahina Feb 2024 #37
