I used to read the Sunday NY Times when I lived back East many years ago, but they had some great original content back then. They would publish highly in depth articles written by their own investigative journalists. I would be willing to pay for this kind of content.
I stopped with both the Times and the Boston Globe when the spin and cherry picking support in the " investigative journalism " got just way too obvious.
They might have writers for " both sides of an issue" but more often than not, they didn't.
I'm down to local news rag( which isn't much better) but it's got the local news.
It'd be a complement these days to call the Atlanta paper a rag. The AJC bought out anybody with brains or talent years ago; today it's entirely unreadable--and as a result, largely unread... they were reportedly losing $1 million a week recently.
