4. I understand your decision, but think, on balance the NYT does excellent work

I listened to the Pod Save America conversation about this and they were pretty persuasive in their somewhat pompous way about NOT unsubscribing.
The fact is, we want and need journalism to cover the spectrum of opinion. What the NYT did wrong, in my opinion, is allow the piece to go through without enough editing. There is opinion, and there is fact. They printed opinions about whether facts are valid. I think that's BS. If they want to print opinions about the sources of the facts, the implications of the fact, etc... go for it. But fact is fact.
