I read all major papers (know thy enemy). It costs me an average of $40/yr to bypass paywalls.
However in light of these comments it may be time to cancel LAT.
Yup. You are wasting your money. You want to know thine enemy?
To put your finger on the pulse of Libtardism in 2023, the order is: X/Twitter, Reddit, NPR (surprisingly), the chans (far less useful than they used to be), then NYT, then CraPo, then MSNBC, then CNN.
You could make the argument that livestreaming from TikTok or FB or that live breaking news dooch on YT, belongs somewhere on that list, but that's only when news is breaking and then FR is as good as either as our aggregation skills on breaking news are only surpassed by X/Twitter.
The real reveal is that the papers and cable are far, far behind the curve, and have resigned themselves as the arbiter of what constitutes the #Narrative as they attempt to control the Day+One news cycles.
When I lived in Orange Co,,,my Dad I read the OC Register.....Once in a while the Times....but this was 50 years ago.....
Papers are Dinosaur's..
I get better "news" here on FR.
