: New:

I donated to the A.P. News Service today. Now I'm a paid subscriber, sort of.

I was dismayed when the Washington Post's owner killed some stories about why Trump should not be president of the USA. I subscribed to the Post for its national news; but apparently, I couldn't trust it. So I unsubscribed.

Where should I get national news then? Not the Washington Post, apparently. Not the New York Times; I remember groaning about their confident-but-wrong tech reporting many years back. If I couldn't trust their reporting in a topic I knew, how could I trust it in a topic I didn't know? Maybe I could give them another chance; a lot can change in a few years. But, thanks to trust issues, the New York Times wasn't my first choice.

I noticed I read a lot A.P. News stories, mostly because of links shared to social media. So… I already get a lot of my USA national news from the A.P. Could I subscribe to A.P. News? They don't have paid subscriptions. I'd like to pay for my news. You can get daily emails from the A.P., but you can't pay for them. You can follow them on various social thingies, but you can't pay for those. Their web site does have a Donate button, however. So I donated; so now I'm a paid subscriber, sort of.
