5.0 out of 5 stars Along With The WSJ, The 2 Best Daily Newspapers In The USA, April 9, 2005

By	G. Reid (Roseland, NJ) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Don't miss the science section published each Tuesday.

The New York Times gives you great stories in depth from around the world. It is the detailed stories and some investigative stories that you can't find anyplace else that are so refreshing to read. Compared to the screaming cable news shows, the news presented in the NYT and WSJ is so much better and more complete that it almost takes your breath away. You will say to yourself "why did I waste my time watching those crazy cable news (really entertainment) shows that are so uninformative?" If most Americans get their news from the TV as I am told they do, then we have dark days ahead. Our society will become less enlightened and less caring.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST U.S. Newspaper, March 7, 2006

By	Loyd E. Eskildson "Pragmatist" (Phoenix, AZ.) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

News is well researched and balanced, and I especially like their columnists such as Paul Krugman, Thomas Friedman, Bob Herbert, and Maureen Dowd. In addition there is the excellent weekly NYT Book Review, and the occasional scoop - eg. the NSA spying flap.

5.0 out of 5 stars NYTimes makes a wonderful gift, November 4, 2006

By	Jennifer Harper "graduate student" (Athens, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are trying to find the perfect gift for one of the intelligent, hard-to-gift persons on your list, a subscription to the New York Times may be a well-received solution.

I had requested a subscription to the New York Times for every occasion (birthday, Christmas, Valentines, etc.) for the past three years, and every year until Christmas 2005, my family and friends disregarded the paper as an odd, if not un-giftable, item to request. Fortunately, my fiance's mother and sister decided to go into a 12-week subscription together. I look forward to Sunday mornings as though each one were a new Christmas. The blue plastic bag in the drive way is a cause for celebration each week-end morning. After the first 12 weeks of the year, I became so accustomed to my week-end ritual of the paper, coffee and Meet the Press that I made room in my own budget to include the price of the subscription.

I prefer the New York Times over other news publications for a very simple reason: it is written to my level and I never feel as though the writers are talking down to me or simplifying the story. I have heard cries of liberal bias concerning this publication, especially the editorials, but when I read this paper, I get the sense that they really want me to know and understand all sides to a story. Few newspapers devote space to complete copies of primary documents (speeches, proposed bills and amendments, etc.) like the New York Times consistently does and this allows me to make up my own opinion on the issues.
