New york times charges $6 per month for the first year then $25 per month. I too use my neighbors times as kindling. I get a kick out of reading old headlines, like Bidens in charge time to build back better.
Online is $4.99/month for the first year, then $16.99 a month.
I enjoy having a subscription to the New York Times. As the leader of a corrupt media, you do have to read it through the lens of truth, but it's enlightening to see how deranged the other side is with their propaganda. There are some interesting topics and articles that do come up from time to time which are informative.
Folks like to complain when Freepers post articles from leftist sources, but it's important to understand how the other side thinks if one wants to beat them. It's basic Sun Tzu. If one wants an echo chamber to confirm their bias, there's plenty of places for that -- including Free Republic.
