Not good enough for the New York Times
A relative has kindly given me a subscription to the Sunday New York Times. I enjoyed it for a while, then I didn't.
Why? Looking at the advertisements--expensive new New York apartments, jewelry, fashion--I realize that I am not a member of the demographic being sought by the New York Times. I don't have enough money to buy any of the stuff they are selling. So my readership is not valuable to the newspaper. Also, I don't agree with the editorial policies of the paper. Only people who can buy expensive apartments overlooking the Hudson are in sympathy with these policies. They don't fly with paupers like me.
I also don't like to see President Trump brought into every issue discussed. No issue can be mentioned without a disdainful mention of Trump being dragged in needlessly. Just to show that the author of the piece exhibits and is shown to exhibit the proper disdain for Trump and the Americans who voted him into office.
Endless publicity is given to Congressmen who draw up articles of impeachment of Trump. The fact that these are unlikely to succeed and are not intended to go anywhere is not mentioned. They are simply instances of cheap politicians showing off. Trump is as likely to be impeached as I am to be named Miss America in 2018.
