18. I'm extremely disappointed in the news coverage of the NYT
and I will not renew my subscription. I live in AZ, we have appalling papers here. I was hoping for some REAL NEWS. Well, it is slightly better than the AZ Republic. However the NYTimes is still very much a mouthpiece for the republican party agenda, it spends far too much column space on celebrity and social gossip, and there is far too little coverage of international news.

Here is an example of the right wing spin of the NYTimes. In this Sunday's arts section, in a column about why Broadway pit orchestra musicians are being cut to the bone, the article ends by saying it is JUST a sign of the times (Glenn Miller had a 23 piece orchestra, and rock bands have only 4 pieces). Am I to believe it has nothing whatsoever to do with investors and owners wanting to maximize their profits at the expense of the working man or woman?
