You mean the one that won a Pulitzer just last year?

Here's what the Times gave us lately while the Stranger jerked off:

The Times exposed Rob Holland's serial abuse of public trust and money. The Stranger said nothing. Both publications endorsed Holland. One had the guts to call out the ethical breach.

The Times followed and broadened Publicola's breaker that uncovered a thief pissing away political contributions intended for progressive causes. The Stranger, which theoretically supports progressive causes, said nothing. It's so uncool to embarrass progressive leaders with hard truths.

Never giving them a dime until Blethen is gone. The only thing more shameful than the McKenna advertising scheme was blaming it on the marketing department.

Who's up for a street party outside the Seattle Times offices when bankruptcy sets in? I'm thinking the BLETHEN BKO BASH will happen late summer. With some luck, maybe we'll get some synergy with Bumbershoot.

And I am a New York Times digital subscriber. For all I read that paper, I consider the $15 a month a bargain. If I were more favorably inclined to the Seattle Times, I could see myself parting with $4 a month.

Slog could help a lot of former Seattle Times readers by throwing up a bookmarkable page with the replacement resources you list here.... Call it "Not reading Seattle Times for Breakfast"

The model is broken. Corporate consolidation is accomplished. Journalism is done. (Beloved crazy local alt-weekly excepted, of course.)

One of the main reasons I avoid the Times, apart from their vapid content, are the comments. Set up a version where comments are not allowed, and I might actually pay for access.

I get my Seattle news from Slog. I get all my other news from BBC, France 24, Al Jazeera, Talking Points Memo and CBC.

@Fnarf. Ageed. I get the NY Times, which is a blessing, but however much I miss the PI, I'd take the ST up on their offer to gain unecumbered access to their website.

We need a daily paper. The Stranger needs a daily paper. news aggregators need dailies. It's worth it - and the free-riding trolls can GGF.

Seattle Times for the Epic Fail.

Posted by Original Andrew]]> Mon, 25 Feb 2013 12:46:05 -0800 The Stranger The Stranger and to Slog than to pay for access to Seattle Times. The Times would be far more compelling if they dropped the sports, lifestyle, comics, and syndicated stories, and focused on doing thorough and thoughtful reporting on local news. I often refer to The Stranger as the best paper in town, and I mean it. I run into Cienna and Eli all the time at local events of interest to me. If I want to see what people are saying about something significant around town that just happened, I go to Slog. The Times may do some good reporting, but if they do, it's buried in a sea of crap through which I am unwilling to wade.
