Yea it’s good. The times has pretty good sportswriters too like Rory Smith. Of course the idiots on this board are so twisted over politics they’re expecting it to be nothing but content akin to the Undefeated

They're really poorly run across the board. I'm not Trumpkin and find the NYT to be awful these days. I am in my 40s and loved it 20 years ago. They just take stances on everything, bought really hard into "gotcha" journalism and cancel culture, and really let some great writers go because they thought the scandal shite would sell more papers. It may have in the interim, but the lifetime subscribers like me have canceled.

I also think they broke their own, very old record, for retractions this year or last. It's just not as quality as it used to be.

But as I said earlier, I still pay for their crosswords
