And There It Goes

Starting next Monday, the NYTimes OpEds will be access restricted. The yearly fee is $50 (which includes other services as well).

So the question is -- how long until I can't stand not reading Paul Krugman again?

Are you betting, AGAIN?

The thing you have to remember is that you're paying $50/year for Krugman AND Brooks, so the thing you have to remember is:

If you were buying Cheerios, and they put on the box that it only contained %5 fecal matter, would you buy Cheerios. Let's just assume that you could wash that off each Cheerio, and have a relatively fecal free breakfast.

$50 is for the WHOLE product, the product only being as good as its worst flaw.

That *sounds* bad, but in fact -- the Brooks columns are clearly labelled.

So are Tierney's.

So, they're that much easier to avoid. It's not like Brooks and Tierney make guest appearances in Krugman.

Oooo -- and what if Gail Collins does a quick guest piece?
