I feel bad for the journalists inside the NYT, the WSJ and Washington Post trying to do excellent work in spite of leadership decisions and terrible op-eds that undermine those ongoing efforts

There are appalling papers in the UK. You get folk attempting to justify working for them and personally, well here's my take: There are other jobs. Leave. You have to make your choices and own them.

Years ago I went to a hackathon (though they couldnt call it that, given the then-recent phone hacking scandal) hosting by the news side of the WSJ, and the reporters felt that acutely. And this was years before the pandemic.

As long as they stay, they are implicitly supporting those decisions and op-eds. Many excellent journalists are discovering and creating new ways to do their work. If they would band together - readers would support them.

I feel badly, yet have cancelled the 2 I have had for years. I cannot support the ugly things they promote. What a shame.

Sadly, as terrible op-ed's (and editorials, too) continue to drive loyal subscribers away, those very same excellent journalists will be the ones to pay the price, along with journalism itself - not the horrible leadership

I still keep my WSJ subscription because their reporting is excellent. I rarely read the opinion pages though.

I condemn every single one of them. The media is our enemy.

I can’t really any more. There are so many places you could be doing the work. People need good journalism in Nebraska and Maine and Texas and Alaska

I cannot imagine the mental load of the investigative teams reporting on stuff like the Wagner Group, the legacy of residential schools or ongoing databases on mass shootings while a British guy with the nicknamed "Rat Boy" is finally deemed a bad fit for the top job

I call it the bad editor problem (and as usual, love to the good ones)
