***... fewer than 10 percent of subscription cancelers cite disagreement with content as their motivation. The big reasons: No time to read, delivery problems, and cost.***
Since I live in Western NY, I subscribed to the Buffalo News. Years ago I called to cancel it and was handed over to the woman I believe was the president’s secretary. She asked why I was canceling. I told her I wouldn’t read anymore of their leftist propaganda. She very rudely hung up on me. I wonder how many Boston Globe readers actually got counted as not wanting to read their propaganda.
When I canceled my local newspaper the woman was actually quite polite. She asked me the reason and I responded it was due to their liberal slant. She said they receive that complaint quite often, and perhaps I could just skip over the editorial page. I told her I was referring to the front page. Oh, she said, how about the Sunday ads?
LOL
