GLobe and Mail charging for On Line Access (my title)
The Globe and Mail ^ | 9/11/04 | me

Just wanted to warn fellow freepers that it looks like Canada's biggest newspapers now requires a paid subscription to access on line articles. In particular, the editorials, letters and columnists are affected. I guess they were sick of us south of the border reading their socialist nonsense and were tired of us complaining Fox News isn't seen there.


TOPICS: Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: canada; news; subscription

Ya know, there probably is a market for an objective
fee-based news source, but no one except koolaid
drinkers are gonna pay to be lied to.

If I want to be lied to, there's lots of free fiction on TV.

Just checked, its the comment section and archived articles. I'm about to post the Canadian Media's response to the forged Killian memos.

OK, they are charging for editorials, archives, and the most valuable part of the paper, the crossword puzzle.
