Right on! That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
I came to OC in 1981, 23 years old, read the Times in the morning, and the Register, after work. I came to find myself agreeing more, and more with the right of center Register, year after year, where I discovered Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, and a host of other opinion columnists, whose ideas I wholeheartedly endorsed.
Haven’t bought a printed paper in a long time, but even reading it online, it was obvious, that it wasn’t the same source of information, it once had been.
Too bad, but the good news is, there is a lot of information out there, if one knows where to look.
BTTT
I enjoyed reading your comments.
Thanks very much.
Be off, or I’ll kick you downstairs!”
Disagree. They prevented the LA Times from being the sole major paper in SoCal.
Oh, certainly ! I credit the Register, of yesteryear, with helping me to mature, in my political thinking. In high school, I went on a class trip to the U.S.S.R. (1976), and came back very anti communist. The debacle of the Carter administration soon followed, and I became very dismayed, with the state of the world. The Register’s opinion page articulated my thoughts, and of course, President Reagan provided a great example, of a course to follow.
They kind of went hand-in-hand, for me, glad you enjoyed what I had to say ! Thanks.
“Did you know OC Register writers had to use words “undocumented immigrants”, not “illegal aliens”? Confirmed that when I confronted them on Facebook.”
I hadn’t noticed it but that doesn’t surprise me. The Register was never any good on illegal immigration anyway, that was their libertarian who-needs-borders BS. I remember when Jeff Riggenbach got busted by the INS for smuggling his maid across the border. Poetic justice.
They are littering the streets with “free copies” of the newspaper for the last few weeks. I’m sure its meant as a way to drive their circulation up to increase their advertising rates.
[Yes indeed. Mcdonalds can hire them. Those jobs will last just until the state imposes its higher minimum wage scale. Then those jobs will have to be automated.]
Yes, the Stock Market is going gangbusters. All is well!!
The economy is prospering! Too bad McDonald’s trashed the dollar menu.
(sorry, I wanted to jump in the daily propaganda as it will be spun by the MSMPravda)
I will always remember the OC Register as the place where I won the contest to predict the percentages in the 2003 recall election. There was a write-up and a picture. I got about $100 bucks in logo gear etc. I still have the mug.
I wonder if my stepmother, who lives in Laguna Woods, ever read this. She is probably too liberal (oh boy, is she liberal — she supports Bernie).
Perhaps they could increase circulation if they published in Spanish!
Adblocker is your friend.
It turns annoying ad-bloated web pages into user-friendly sources of information in 90%+ of the cases.
There is also other software out there that many Freepers claim is better—check out the threads on this topic.
Newspapers have been lying to advertisers while they dump free copies anywhere they can for many years.
They got away with their fraud for a while—now the day of reckoning is at hand.
Does anybody know if they bought the Colorado Springs Gazette too? They are/were owned by Freedom.
Or the Colorado Springs Sun?
I guess you could say the same for me.
