Got my renewal notice for the local newspaper service yesterday...It's now over a hundred bucks for 2 months.I remember when the daily paper was 35 cents. When the price jumped to 50 cents, we were flabbergasted!!!!...It's now $2.00 daily and $3.00 for Sunday...There used to be boxes around town to buy a paper but those have dissappeared since the coin collection boxes couldn't handle all those extra quarters...........that was the reason the State never added sales tax to newspapers.............they may be looking into that now......another tax to a too long list.....and the paper gets smaller and smaller....once they stop offering the puzzles and crossword, I'll get my news off the TV and radio.
Yeah, I don't do newspapers for money. I just read their websites, though there's precious little out there worth looking at. Most of them have some kind of scheme to keep you from reading more than a couple of articles, but with a couple of the ones I read if you delete the cookies they go back to zero and you can read on!
Given the quality of "news reporting" we get today, I pay what it is worth. Zero. They should pay me to read their thinly disguised propaganda. Plus our government just bought the entire nation's media off with a $600 million gift of taxpayers dollars to these organizations which I remain completely opposed to. Not that I'm upset about that at all!!
