It really is a shame, it didn't have to be this way. After all, there was nothing more relaxing than sitting outside in the morning drinking coffee and reading the paper. Then they had to go and spoil everything by pusing an agenda intead of just reporting the news.

That relaxing habit went from a comforting act to anger at the blatant one sided presentation of the news and then eventually, you just stopped doing something you'd done everyday for years because it simply wasn't worth it.

The big losers are the stockholders, they really should have put a stop to the crap years ago, so I don't feel especially sorry for them.

Yeah, everything you said. Sadly-I really used to also enjoy the Sunday Funnies. Was the high point of my week when I was a kid. Even kep it up as an adult-until I noticed one day that there wasn't any "Smilin' Jack" or "Buck Rogers" or "Tarzan" any more. Or "The Katzenjammer Kids" or "Moon Mullins." They'd been replaced with crap like "Fuzzy" and "For Better Or For Worse" , "Funky Winkerbean" ,etc. All pushing a liberal or PC agenda(or just plain stupid) , rather than just trying to be funny. They took away Andy Capp's cigarette, etc. About the only funny ones left were "Blondie" & Hagar The Horrible", so I just stopped getting the Sunday paper. It had even permeated the comics. Sad. I do have to say, though, in all fairness, "Doonesbury" was funny at first-until Trudaeu (sp?) took his hiatus. Once he came back from it, the strip just became his personal soapbox.

Why don't Publishers understand what's happening?
