I cancelled my Dallas Morning News subscription one year ago and switched to the WSJ because the DMN had gone wobbly on gay marriage, etc. I told 'em so, too. Such a sad decline of a once proudly conservative paper. I know there are others like me who want no part of this liberal crud any longer.
Then, their parent company, Gannett, went out and bought up all the weekly community papers in our area, so I cancelled that one too.
They quit calling to ask me to take the paper back when I refused to stop telling them exactly what they could do with it. But they called a friend of mine who only gets Sunday delivery and offerred 6 months free daily paper as a trial. That smacks of desperation if you ask me.
Isn't that the funny part? You'd think newspapers would realize that if they'd just dump taking a stand on social issues and drop the editorializing (as if anyone cares who or what they recommend) they'd at least double their circulation.
But no. They hire Blacks to write about Black issues, Hispanics to write about Hispanic issues and Homosexual-Americans to write about Gay issues.
*AND* the paper is usually filled with stories written by journalists employed at other papers. Like I could give a rat's behind what some writer for the NYT says about Kennedy Space Center.
