Steve, thanks for your competent and honorific reporting of truth, facts. It's refreshing, and deserves to be spread on as large a platform as possible.

I cancelled my Times subscription awhile ago. I found it beginning to take on a right wing bent. When a small cadre of persons have all the money and connections, it's far too easy to report what one wants to pass on and ignore what should be justly reported. Money leads to power, and power corrupts. Absolutely.

During the entire run-up to Trump's "election" in 2016, my husband and I would repeatedly ask each other, "Why are they reporting on that scumbag? They should just ignore him!" During the night of that election, we both woke up spontaneously at 3:00 or so. We decided to turn on the TV to see if results were in. As they announced Trump as winner, my husband turned to me and said, "I think something really bad is going to happen. Really really bad." That memory comes back to us nearly daily as these years have passed.

And still today, Trump is reported on every damned day. To a malignant narcissist, this is manna from heaven. It matters not if the reports are good or bad. We have yet to see the end of this tale of terror.

I subscribed to The NY Times for years…even when I moved from New York to Florida . 5 years ago I ended my subscription because of Haberman. She is a compromised, duplicitous person and that was obvious years ago. This last “episode “ just confirms what she has always been. Whatever has happened to The NY Times…it’s not good.
