I cancelled my local paper five years ago, but they are showing up in my yard again.

The same for me too for the News and Disturber here in Raleigh, NC. Almost all the staff comes from the leftist leaning UNC-Chapel Hill or other severely demented liberal universities across the nation. The think a long time friend who worked there on the presses told me 80% of the N&O's staff are registered RATS.

LOL. When the unions shutdown both papers in Pittsburgh a number of years ago, I stated subscribing to the then "Greensburg" Tribune Review. After a number of months and behind the scene underhanded tactics by the unions, Post Gazette and local political hacks, the strike suddenly ended, but so did one of Pittsburgh's two papers -- the better of the two, The Press. Only the left-leaning Post Gazette remained. They tried many times to get me to subscribe again. They gave months of "free delivery". They still do from time to time. Meanwhile, the Greensburg paper opened a Pittsburgh news bureau, started a Pittsburgh edition, and instead of the city becoming another "one paper town" (the goal of the strike all the time) it still has two, and I still have my Trib subscription.
