re: #120 The Vicious Babushka

Locally, the remnant of the San Diego Union Tribune, now for several years owned by a local real estate wingnut, is being passed out for free samples at local stores. They want you to sign up, but why sign up to pay when they give them out?

I give the shills a cold shoulder when I walk by; they are just doing it for some pittance and their millionaire throwback boss doesn’t really care about journalism (which is why the SDUT does so little of it any more.)

It’s only a shadow of its former newspapers. Perhaps it’s not so bad that online sources are used more by the youth than these legacy mastheads now turned grocery-store flier vessels.
