When the woman from India called last month to offer me the Sunday paper for free, I told her not only didn't I want it, but that I would cancel my digital subscription if they ever put it on my driveway. Not only could she read the English script, but she understood my reply.
Although i'm aging and it becomes more difficult to pick things up, I'm still a very early riser. I have no need for a heavy newspaper out near the street, hours after I already read the digital version. On the contrary, disposing of it is a nuisance. The woman from India who called yesterday could barely read the script, and didn't understand my English replies at all. After I told her I didn't want the free paper and delivery, she keep reading the script anyway, like a robot with poor English.
In today's paper, reconstituted Bill White is rehashing his hatred of long gone Emma Tropiano. While the newspaper still hasn't reported who finally won the third county judgeship (Ritter prevailed by 74 votes) it spends its limited resources and space with White's nonsense.
As a local blogger, I maintain digital subscriptions to various sources. With the Morning Call, the annoyances are starting to outweigh their news.
The Morning Call will not survive much longer, unless they can swing the idea of being subsidised by the federal government. It seems there are initiatives by the democrats to do just that. You can bet it will be the final act in most newspapers and many other media becoming a propaganda outlet for the democrat Party.
ReplyDelete! sure hope the Morning Call can continue to be published
ReplyDeleteweaver@1:20, although the call greatly annoyed me, and if an unwanted hard copy paper shows up on Sunday I'll be even more annoyed, I too appreciate that we still have a local paper.
