I cancelled my Times subscription about 3 years ago. Before that, I used to subscribe to the OC Register. However, the delivery service never put it in a plastic wrapper on rainy days, so I stopped paying for a soaked copy of the Register.

After taking the Register again for a year, I dropped it as well. They advertise themselves as a Libertarian newspaper. However, they have minimal reporting staff and rely on AP, the NY Times wireservice, Reuters, the Wall Street Journal and others for most of their news stories. Except for the WSJ, all the other sources are left leaning trash. So, ask yourself how this can really be a Libertarian paper. As for the WSJ articles, they were reprints of the same articles I had read in the WSJ three days before.

As for local Orange County news, the Register does a poor job when it comes to reporting what happens in each community. They only cover county-wide issues. The local stuff is left to one small paragraph on one subject in each community.

I found the answer to be to cancel the Times and the Register and get my news on the internet. If you need to, you can access both papers on the internet for free. That way, I get to read the Daily Pilot, a publication of the Times which covers all the happenings in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. All the national news you need is on Free Republic and other conservative sites.
