Bezos saved the paper. But now he is being whacked around and rightfully so. We need the NYTimes and the Washington Post to survive as organizations that support American journalists and reporters. Their work reverberates here and abroad. We did not cancel either, but think it was a terrible transparent move by Bezos and probably "obeying in advance" as per Tim Snyder's comment on this. Whereas I have been thankful for Amazon and Whole Foods, no fool am I to cut myself off from what I need in this age of shops going out of business for vatious reasons and needing the convenience, I also indulge in criticizing those who do cancel just to "get even" with Bezos or the Times because they don't like one thing or another (headlines, stories editorials etc). The movement to cancel makes me think they are being lemmings. This side of the divide also has some unthinking going on and this is ironic.
