@jeffjarvis If I still had a subscription to the NYT, I would absolutely be canceling it by now.

There’s rightward drift and there’s rightward drift, but this is backing the play of the authoritarian right to unify voters by marginalizing and persecuting a scapegoated minority. Goebbels could not have done it better.

“Our business can still profit in the event of a Nazi government” is not a selling point I’m happy to see from one of the US’s papers of record.

@megmuttonhead @jeffjarvis I don't subscribe either but at this point I don't even want to use them as a source on unrelated topics. I'll be avoiding linking to their articles.
