When I moved back to MN in the early 90’s I had a free subscription for 3 months.
I occasionally picked up the Sunday paper for the ads.
I think I've purchased one this year. Took the ads and left the paper on the counter.
Good riddance.

The same thing happened with us with the Dallas Morning News—we had subscribed for several years, but then the bias became so blatantly liberal that to save our blood pressure :-) we cancelled our subscription. Occasionally we get the Sunday paper, but it’s been awhile since we still get outraged at some of the blatant anti-Republican/conservative/Christian viewpoints in what are supposed to be ‘straight news’ stories!!
And the DMN had the absolute gall and nerve to raise their rates from 50 cents to 75!! For that garbage?! I don’t think so!! I think the Sunday rate went up to $2.50—again, I don’t think so!
I get almost 100% of my news info from right here at FR, for free! And almost 100% reliable! Can’t beat that with a stick.

When we lived in MN, we took the Sunday Strib and were offered the Saturday at half price. We passed on the offer but later were offered Friday free if we took the Saturday at half price. Eventually we got the Thursday and Friday for free with a half priced Saturday.
Looking at this left wing screed four days a week was more than I could take so we canceled everything.
