Some good people got murdered, so give your money to this big corporation? I don't follow.
Secondly there are nonprofit like ProPublica that do amazing work. They were a major force that brought the dangers of fracking into light.[2]
Finally, Investigative journalism isn't cheap. The orgs need to pay a salary and travel costs for months and years on a story that may or may not pan out. In an interview, the journalist that broke it said that it took months to research and fact check an anonymous tip to develop it into a full blow story.
So no, I don't feel bad about NYT being a "corporation" when their quality journalism brings to light stores like this.

Giving your family subscriptions to these companies is just as bad as given then facebook accounts.
You seem to be under the childishy impression that if one is bad, then the other is good. That's not how things work. The NYT and Trump could both be bad. The NYT and Facebook can boh be back.
For all the talk about how bad social media is, so many news people are all over social media begging people to buy subscriptions.
