The Monday and Tuesday issues are slim and the news content for Saturday seems sparse. Sometimes, the newspaper is a "quick read" for some reason. I've considered asking for discounts or too cancel whenever another increase notification is provided, but I figure I can absorb the newspaper circulation cost for now...

Better coverage of the entire bay area when you combine all of its papers.

Still love the physical paper. I'm originally from the city, and want to keep up on all things SF, but since I also want to keep up with the local High School sports and real estate happenings, I also take the Mercury. Also, you pick up a lot of things scanning the paper. Internet stuff is a lot more specific and less scattered. Pretty pricey for what I get.

What is it exactly that we're losing? Certainly not the impartial news reporting that was long and loudly claimed. The American press has never really been in the news business, at least not once it found it more profitable to peddle influence wrapped in entertainment. That said, at least this country enjoyed a few decades where there was diversity of influence peddlers -- so one could chose his slant, but those days ended after the industry was overrun by the arrogant outcasts of the baby boomer generation. An uglier, more biased collection of misfits I've never seen.<br /><br />The internet destroyed newspapers for one simple reason: it was no longer necessary to go to the news stand to get your fill of slanted hyperbole, half-truths, and character assassinations. Had it been honest, professional journalism they'd been selling, the public would still be buying.Arse Nardmannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-72740746886631392952014-04-04T15:11:43.655-07:002014-04-04T15:11:43.655-07:00Agreeded!!!!Agreeded!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-47774964068337643192014-04-04T15:06:52.512-07:002014-04-04T15:06:52.512-07:00".. he predicted, matter of fact, that the Ba...".. he predicted, matter of fact, that the Bay Area would become a one-newspaper town."<br /><br />God forbid it's the Contra Costa Times, which the BART vendor is always left with a stack of because most riders prefer the Chron.
