Sunday there was a guy giving away copies of the Denver Post in front of the King Sooper, grocery store in Parker. Along with the free paper he was trying to get you to sign up for a subscription to the daily paper. When the offer was declined he came up with an alternative offer for fewer days, one daily paper and the Sunday paper. Declined the offer and went away with our free Sunday paper. As my daughter said, “I just want it for the adds. I get all my news online.” In my case on FR.
“Sunday there was a guy giving away copies of the Denver Post in front of the King Sooper, grocery store in Parker.”
ditto in Longmont KS. giving away Post & Longmont Times-Call & Boulder Camera - all pretty much the same uber-leftist paper anyway. dude said special deal on the T-C, 118/year, which as far as i can tell is the regular price. he asked if i had every subscribed, and i said, yeah, a few decades ago.
i wanted one for the free newsprint - for packing and changing oil. plus i like to analyze local content & local ads - basically almost none now. not even the pot stores advertise much in the T-C anymore - i guess they finally figured out it’s a waste of money to advertise pot to the 70-80 year old readership who still subscribe out of habit.
I just tell them I’m not interested in leftwing propaganda. I take the free paper for my woodstove.
