I have mixed feelings about this. I can’t stand to read any Gannett newspaper anymore because they are so slanted, but I don’t think they were always this bad. I actually liked USA Today once upon a time - they were colorful, had little in-depth reporting but covered a broader range of topics than any local paper - which were, ironically, also Gannett publications.
I remember them when they started, it was a fun paper to read, and certainly had the best coverage of weather in the US and around the world.
And I remember hoping that maybe they won’t be quite as left-wing as the NY Times...but nope, their editorials were standard Hate-America crap.
