The Times is nearly giving out free copies now, trolling for Greater Fools.
If you don’t mind losing a couple bucks, take a trial subscription, then cancel the next day. You get to rail on their subscription department in the process.
It’s even better when a “retention specialist” calls you a couple of days later. Said specialist is horse-trained to refute arguments like bias (”getting the paper means you can keep an eye on it!”), using the Internet (”but you can’t take the Internet with you!”), etc. etc.
They’re in deep macaca.
Island Jeff, the LA Times retention specialists have been at it for over a *decade* with my elderly mom. I got moderately mad when they did not remove her from their call list and kept calling over several months.
I realize the poor worker on the phone was not the problem, and advised her she should find a job with a ship that wasn’t taking on water.
I will keep this post advised of any response from the ST, and you in particular. You seem to share my glee.
