Anybody know how to read Frank Rich's new article without subscribing

[bunny planet]

I don't want to give the NYTimes any of my money again. I subscribed to the paper for years but cancelled earlier this year because of their shameful war mongering (a la Judy Miller) and refusal to print anything that truly questioned this administration, except on their editorial page. Seems they now know that the only thing worth reading in their rag is the editorial page and they're going to make us pay for it. Any hints from the computer savvy?

1. It's free

You can register to read it online for free. I've been doing that for years.

2. Lately - it is not so free.

6. right. it is now pay per view

I am about to cancel my paper subscript. to them for a variety of reasons.

9. Hokey smoke

I've been reading it lately. I wonder if I still can. Dang. Don't other papers often reprint pieces?

19. Not any more. Subscribing to NYT's Times Select is relatively inexpensive

I decided to do it.
I've used the free NYT connection for many years, avoiding payment to the writers I happen to LOVE (Krugman, Herbert, sometimes Dowd....and others).

Newspapers are having problems. I don't want them to cut good writers -- or any writers. We need to support the arts.

I think it will cost me $49 for the entire year. Not really a burden. I hope papers like the NYT can continue to publish a wide range of opinions.

5. unless any of those people have the new Times Select service those

log-ons will not work. I already have my own log-on account, I can now only access the news portion of the paper, not any of the editorials. Someone had a tip on DU the other day about bypassing the pay only service, just can't remember what it was.

7. I'd say go to a coffee shop and find an abaodoned copy

I am registered-butdon't pay. I did not realise they were charging for that shit now.

8. later today it will end up posted somewhere for free

all those that say something interesting end up "out" in public by those who happily disperse "Select" for free to annoy NYT. Just wait a bit---I haven't missed a thing I want to see this week as it ends up linked to a blog or something. Just give it a few more hours.


I'm not paying to support Tierney and Brooks in particular and if that means I have a delay in my Krugman viewing or wait a day or two even for a decent Rich column---its worth it.

12. "I'm not paying to support Tierney and Brooks in particular"

Tierney really is an embarrassment- even worse than David Brooks (and that's saying something).

The Times made a huge mistake with this, though I don't feel sorry for the likes of either of those two. Good riddance.

Krugman & Rich will find other outlets.

13. even Tierney's picture

on that site screams: "I'm a poseur! I'm a second-rate wanna-be-celebrity-writer!"

hilarious pic actually with the whole "deep thinker" fist on chin, if only he wasn't going for a glamour expression it might have worked. He is the lightest of lightweights.

10. Try truthout.org they have been posting Krugman, Dowd & Herbert

20. Here's another place you can try

But no doubt the Times will be leaning on them eventually:

Charging to pay for editorial and giving the news away free reeks of censorship and feels a little redundant.
