growing up it was informative and reasonable but boy has it become a liberal cheering worthless fish wrap.
Joe, I used to use the Times to wrap the fish, but it used to make the fish stink.
The Obama economy.
Will repost White House talking points for food.
St.Pete Times always was more liberal than the Tampa Tribune.
Then they became one and the same and unreadable.
Few “news reports” are truly factual.Almost all are “opinion” or otherwise slanted.They seem to be incapable of straight news.
If you want to learn about local events, look to foreign news sources, or monitor police/emergency frequencies.
The print press companies backed the wrong technology for the last few decades.
Instead of becoming more ethical, trustworthy and less political, they went full on full BS for marketing purposes.
Have you noticed that newspaper stands now mostly direct potential buyers inside?
I'm shocked that anyone still subscribes to them at all!
I can’t wait for the Miami Herald and Sun-Sentinel to finally assume room temperature.
The Tampa Bay Times (formerly St Petersberg Times) is rabidly lib. If the main news story of the day is complimentary to conservatives, they totally abandon the idea of running any news headline at all and use an op-ed or poll as the headline.
Their most loved agenda item is how nobody in FL pays enough taxes.
I won’t even buy them for the coupons, so I am proud to say I am part of their problem.
My “favorite” endorsement was a judgeship. It ran something like this. “This person is reasonable, has wonderful experience, blah, blah, blah. The other person is also qualified, but not quite as much, but is black. We feel diversity is most important, so we recommend the black candidate over the other one.”
I kid you not. It was staggering.
Wow. I quit my subscription. The Tampa Tribune started a St. Petersburg Tribune that’s a lot more economical. Tampa Bay Times has so many different price ranges - that makes no sense whatsoever. What’s the price for everybody? Anyway, gonna try the St. Pete Tribune instead.
Their renewal dept isn’t very good either. I was certain that my renewal was in the fall but when I called, they said, it was this February. So, I got months and months of newspapers for free cuz their billing was messed up even after I tried to correct them. Switching to St. Petersburg Tribune instead.
