The New York Times is worth every penny you pay it... for top-level news coverage. Thank God for them.

Too bad Bezos won't give up his love of  profit, but that's that.

I'll definitely subscribe to Apple News Service long enough to see if it is worth it to me... and if I have enough time to also read the NYT, the Guardian, the Huffington Post, and The Nation, that I subscribe to.

All Americans _need_ to be informed in these dark days of Donald. It's your civic duty.

Yes, we really need NYT and WaPo to put out 10 stories a day about trump based on unsubstantiated anonymous leakers in these “dark days” lol. What a joke. 

We don’t need agenda-based, biased MSM organizations that consistently put out 93% negative coverage of one person. That’s not news. That’s biased opinion fed to sheep.

Apple may be one of the only hopes to facilitate objective journalism. I’m actually very much looking forward for trying out the Apple news service. 

Honestly, if Trump wasn’t so, well I’ll be nice here, and say “odd”, there wouldn’t be so much about him in the papers. Even the WSJ has a lot of stories, and they’ve become more negative as time goes on. Like it or not, he’s the President, and every time he does or says something, and he says a lot, it’s going to be written about. Fox has far more about him than everyone else combined.

Don't you find it a bit 'odd' that there is a constant barrage of breathlessly hyperbolic articles about how 'odd' (ie "un-presidential") Trump is?? How many 'sky is falling' and 'omg the world is ending' articles about Trump must there be?? Meanwhile, we have the best economy in decades (possibly history), lowest minority and female unemployment in history, peace in the Korean peninsula (thought to be the US's biggest threat by the previous administration), on and on..

I think the biased coverage is the most odd thing. I, and many others, find Trump's oddness and straightforwardness appealing (although I am not a personal fan of his more boisterous tweets and statements).

I just checked WaPo's front (web) page in case I misremembered. Almost EVERY story on the front page is directly or indirectly negative towards Trump. Almost EVERY one! It's crazy. No wonder there are so many bizarrely irrational Trump haters out there. Just about every story out there is negative.

Hey what happened, you were triggered last week over the Trump stories here and said you wouldn’t be returning? Yet...here you are, and seemingly triggered again.

I suppose I should be flattered that you seem obsessed with me and mention me all the time, but tbh I'm getting embarrassed for you. As I've clearly stated, I said I was unsubscribing (from the $10 ad free app), which I did. I didn't say I 'wouldn't be returning'.

And you say I'm triggered? Lol.

Btw, kudos to AI for allowing what seems to be fairly civil debate (so far) on here.

I don’t like Donald very much, but dark days? Where were these truth tellers in Obama years?

He wasn’t fucking up the country every week while lining his pockets and those of family members while also banging porn stars and bribing them to keep quiet about it. Oh and sucking up to dictators who he believes are “good guys”. None of this is normal presidential behavior. We didn’t have to talk about it during the Obama years because none of that happened. This isn’t rocket science. 

Lol. Here you go not making sense again. Trump has *lost* over 1 billion $ since taking office. Look it up. In addition, he donates 100% of his presidential salary. The members of his family who are official paid advisors also donate 100% of their salary.

Sucking up to dictators? Lol. You mean being the first person to bring peace to the Korean peninsula in decades? What a terrible accomplishment!

Didn't have to talk about what during the Obama years?? You mean when Lybia was destroyed and the arab spring was started, leading to deaths and chaos, and leaving jihadist slave traders in Libya right now? Didn't talk about the creation of ISIS under Obama's watch? Btw, Trump has now defeated ISIS, which no longer holds any territory.

I could go on to even further debunk every one of your false statements, but you seem like you're mostly emotionally driven and aren't able to see things objectively, so I'll just stop here for now.

If Apple delivers the ability to charge my iPhone and (presumably future) AirPods on one charger without the need for precise placement I will be thrilled. Fingers crossed!
