Ken Jennings, who has hosted Jeopardy!since 2021 following the death of Alex Trebek, recently got into a relatively minor back-and-forth on Bluesky with people who claimed his *subscriptions to the *New York Times were supporting an anti-transgender media organization. And when I say minor, I mean this is fairly lukewarm water.

Jennings should financially support better media outlets.

How do you know he doesn't? Just because he finds the NYT a useful source, it doesn't mean it's his only one - probably far from it for someone who keeps themselves as well informed as he likely prefers to.
