    Default NY Times losing subscribers because of Brett Stephenson

    So I though the NYT gained a bunch of subcribers after Trump became president. But now they've hired Brett Stephenson from the WSJ whose first column was about climate change and has readers totally triggered. Now people are waiting on hold to cancel their subscriptions. Stephenson doesn't deny climate change is real or that man contributes to it but that's not enough I guess. This topic is religion to some folks and unless you tout the party line you are a heretic who needs to be shut up.

    The NY Times is already out of business, they just do not know it yet

    No way these liberal hypocrites would abandon their super polluting first world lifestyles and embrace an all natural subsistence living way of life.

    They use the Al Gorian myth as way to pat themselves on the back, knowing damn well it has nothing to do with saving the planet, but is simply a mechanism for them to assuage their massive egos.
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    I don't think they're too worried about a handful of subscriptions

    If they are reading the NY Times they have pretty much given up on everything else.

    I find more interesting the angst of these scientists and the demand that a voice they oppose be silenced.

    Love this Death of Civil Disobedience column about this article. Funny that Stephens is a #nevertrump guy who has been receiving sh*t from Truml supporters for months but talk "religion" in a way the left doesn't like in the sacred NYT and look out!
