14. You know, every time I'm tempted to end my subscription to the NYT

Nov 2020

I remind myself of their exposes on Trump's taxes, Rupert Murdoch, and their story about Rod Rosenstein offering to wear a wire, which I thought was BS and wrote two blistering letters to them, only to find out it was probably true. They also played a determinative role in inspiring and helping Mary Trump to write her book, one of the true literary/psychological/political gems of the last four years.

I just can't do it, because they've done so much important work. YES, they annoy me frequently. But on balance, it's one of the best.
