The Gray Lady

Several years ago, when I still relied on words printed in ink on paper for information, I subscribed to The New York Times. Back then, The NYT was considered the news media gold standard. Anyway, I mailed in the subscription form, but the newspapers were never delivered as promised. I cancelled the subscription with a nasty letter when the first monthly bill came, but I still get NYT renewal offers several times every year.

As it happens, I no longer have any interest whatsoever in paying to read the content of The New York Times, for reasons discussed by Charles Pierce at Esquire.

Dedicated to Jim Ferguson. If you don't know who Jim Ferguson is, you (a) haven't seen The Missouri Breaks, or (b) have an inadequate ability to fully assimilate movie trivia.
