Bump for later reading
I have often stayed with relatives in Dallas and they used to have a subscription to this toilet paper. The Dallas Morning News is one of the goofier Democrat publications, no doubt about it, and that’s coming from somebody who sees Philadelphia Inquirer headlines in local stores on a daily basis!
How is the Dallas Morning News doing these days?
Dying like the rest of the Democrat newspapers, I hope?
When I married my husband in 1994, the paper was larger in size (physically) and thickness. It cost $.25.
We went to India in ‘95 and when we returned a month later the paper’s physical size was smaller, as was thickness, and the price was $.50. We were outraged.
We lived in CA from ‘01 to ‘03. When we returned we found the paper had gotten even MORE liberal leaning and tended to attack Bush, so we didn’t get a subscription. About that time I discovered LGF and FR and Drudge and started getting ALL my news from those sources. The paper was still .50 cents at that time.
Around 2007, I went to a restaurant for breakfast on my own and noticed a paper machine out front and thought I would read a paper while I ate breakfast...the cost? .75 cents!! OUTRAGEOUS!!! I didn’t purchase one, and when I went in the restaurant had several set out for customers to read. Seriously, even with several sections, it was not even half an inch thick!! And I found several stories that were not even subtly leaning left, but out and out liberal remarks. That did it for me!
Earlier this summer I happened to pass a paper machine and glanced at the headlines, then I noticed the cost—$1.00 for a DAILY paper!!! Ack!
You know, they say, oh, newsprint costs more, yada yada, but I believe that they’ve got such a small circulation now they can’t afford to print the paper without charging their readers more for it to stay afloat...I predict by the time my 8 y/o is in high school in a few years, the simply won’t be any hardcopies of the DMN anymore—they’ll have gone the way of the media dinosaurs, LOL!! :-)
That’s what they get for charging more than 2 dollars for a Sunday paper that’s half an inch thick and 90% advertisements!!!
