It’s filled with articles praising Trump and blaming Democrats for their own downfall.

i don't buy that crap at all.

DU is all I can stomach just about right now. I am inexpressibly grateful for this site and this community of like-minded people.

There are voices of dissent in many locales. Free newspapers, rags so to speak.

And that'll also be true when Trump starts targeting their journalists. I'll keep my powder dry for people and institutions worth saving.

however, I have never subscribed to the NYT or the WP.
I have Vanity Fair, Mother Jones, Smithsonian.
I have bought a year of The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New Republic and didn't renew them.
I did like WIRED but still too many magazines stacked up I couldn't keep up.
And that is one mushed ugly MF.

I would only add that ALL Cable News is similarly complicit in treating Trump like he’s a legitimate alternative to the current administration. He should have been treated with consistent contempt and derision by every news outlet.

In my decades at DU, I've never seen a more-worthy accusation. To hell with the New York Times. They're pimping for trump, to this very day.
