I canceled my subscription a couple of months ago because I didn’t think I should be paying for Obama campaign literature. Besides the obvious bias in it, I would also like to cite its childishness. Where there was once Anthony Lewis and Tom Wicker to represent the left on the op-ed pages, now there are Maureen Dowd and Frank Rich. Their arguments are too puerile even to consider. I also find, contrary to several other commenters, that the entertainment sections are now directed at people who are probably too young to read a newspaper. It had been a long time since I’d taken Sunday’s Arts & Leisure section seriously.
