Normally, when you want to cancel an online subscription, you simply click cancel on your account on their website. But not with the New York Times. They are the Comcast-quality customer service of newspapers. No matter how many times I indicate I don’t want to talk to anyone, I just want to cancel, they keep barraging me with questions. <\/p>\n

I was fine with paying $8 a month for a New York Times subscription but once they and the Los Angeles Times bumped me to $15 a month, I canceled, just as I canceled the Wall Street Journal when they tried to bump me to $40 a month rather than $10. <\/p>\n
