    This is the way.

    All of the major newspapers and media outlets are owned by the billionaire class, and it’s been that way for over a decade.

    It’s time to stop clutching your pearls every time your media company of choice does something in service to the billionaire class and stop giving them your clicks.

      If every media outlet is owned by billionaires, and I should stop visiting each one that does something in service to that class, am I just ultimately left newsless?

      The proper thing to do is to call out this BS and let the NYT know that this is bullshit. Don’t hide from it, fight it.

        Use your time as you like. It’s yours to waste. Your only real weapon is depriving them of your consumption.

        The closest you can get to unbiased is the AP or international sources.
