Thread:Comments:New York Times to start charging for access to web news/Good riddance!/reply

Agreed, I know nothing about this particular newspaper but the format itself is dead - people buy them for something to read on the train, fill their heads whichever kind of biased spin that their polical leanings prefer and as a flag to other people showing the way that they think.

Wikinews can be slow but it offers a great way to discuss and debate the issue (even if I'm not usually submitting the intelligent views).
