Every trump cult accusation is a confession

@SatyrService OMG I am so tired of that. It’s particularly frustrating when I’m trying to access from a local source. I do not require a paid subscription to the Tahoma Times.

@Graylight my sugestion is an old solution. how much does a copy of the paper cost?
like from a news stand. why not let us buy ONE article, for say like 25 cents..
i do not WANT a subscription . let me buy today's version. Ill give maybe a dollar for one days New YOrk Times

@SatyrService I like it. I’understand that news has long been a commodity and I’ll pay for it, but sensibly.

@SatyrService @Graylight There are ways to get behind paywalls you know. 😉

@RodionRomanovitch i should not have to cheat

Is using a feature built into Firefox cheating?

@SatyrService @Graylight

@SatyrService Journalists, especially at the level of the NYT, deserve to be paid. A digital subscription is $1 a week. After a year it's like 4 bucks a week. Pretty much a latte at Starbucks. You'll get WAY more bang for your buck with an NYT subscription.

@SatyrService something else I have noticed ... whereas [i]Google[/i] News is only an [i]aggregator[/i], and gives you direct links to news articles on the original content provider's site (e.g., the New York Times), [i]Yahoo[/i] News seems to act more like a [i]republisher[/i] ... I don't know if they pay the NYT to do so, but they frequently have NYT articles reprinted in full on the Yahoo News site, like syndication. If you know what article you are looking for, you may want to try searching for it on Yahoo News ... or even just Google it, to find it reprinted on some other newspaper's website (again, like syndication), whether another large national newspaper or sometimes even smaller local newspapers. I assume if you're able to read it on another newspaper's site (say, before you've hit your three free articles limit on the secondary site), then most likely that site has paid the NYT a syndication fee.

But in particular if you use Google News, on any given day there are tons of articles from various news sites (you can personalize the selection to your liking), and while some of those sites like Bloomberg may also have their own free article limit, some of those other sites may indirectly reference a story the NYT or WaPo broke, so even if you don't get to read the original article, you'll still get a gist of what is going on in the world that day.
