Cancelling my Washington Post subscription saved me $12.00 a month. Guess what I did with it...

Sorry for the tweet. It's the only way I had to share with you.

1. I prepaid for the year, but got a full digital refund--so half to Harris-Walz and half to "The Guardian'

who have already endorsed Harris and are NOT owned by billionaires but rather a trust that cannot be similarly intimidated.

2. We were NYT, WA Post, and Guardian supporters.

First the NYT went (my husband's subscription).
Now the WAPO is gone (my subscription).
Leaving the Guardian our last paper standing.

I saw the comments on the WAPO website (and left a scorching one of my own) under the editorial about not endorsing. It was one cancelation after another. Not good when you are a struggling paper. But, honestly, isn't that kind of how Murdoch does it? Sends out his like-minded minions to take down the competitors through a thousand tiny cuts.

Who else do you read? The Atlantic has had some really good articles but don't know their overall editorial bend.

4. My former SO had reporter access to nearly everything, so that gave me quite the addiction (while it lasted)...

I maintain a Denver Post subscription (even though they too are not endorsing, but I knew that since 2022 when they pre-announced a decision that SEEMED to be considered and not an owner's influence)... I need a strong regional newspaper so I've decided to continue. I also subscribe to a couple of local small Colorado front-range city papers --mostly out of a likely futile attempt to help save local news. I read the Atlantic from time to time and might subscribe now. Rolling Stone has been amazing over the past several years in political and current events coverage. Mother Jones too. So, one of those might start earning my $$$.

I guess the Guardian will have to become my "national" paper... I read a lot from the BBC News online site too...

I will miss WAPO, but...

5. Rolling Stone has had some really good reporting lately.

It is funny. I subscribed to Rolling Stone and Mother Jones in College-back when I worked in magazines. Here we are all these years later, and I think I might have to return to the flock!

3. The billionaire class attack on world democracy continues

I winder what Kompromat the Russians have on Bezos.

Didnt he get his phone hacked a few year ago?
