Eighty percent of the paper is reprints from the Washington Post and New York Times, sometimes the stories are weeks old but they are careful to leave out time identifiers so you can’t really tell when they happened. You can read the paper in about 5 minutes time, although even the local news by that time is a couple of days old. Everything is filtered through the liberal mainland media lens.

They have a couple of local stories but it looks like they are laying off most of the reporters so that will go to nothing. They already stopped printing the newspaper on Saturdays. You buy the paper on Sundays so you have the Longs CVS Drugs ad for the Sunday sale items.

Ironically we don’t really need a newspaper, local people have no say in anything already, we have no real choice when it comes to politics (the politicians are pretty much selected by the Democrat Party and we have Russian style elections with no real choice). I’m sure we will get the news we need through press conferences by the governor’s and mayor’s office.

That mainland media is also losing printed news, but...

They've moved online, where the liberal media is still filtering the news and we only get what liberals and democrats want you to read and hear and see.

Ever heard of Google and Facebook and Twitter and Yahoo and the online versions of those formerly big printed media outlets?

They may have lost or closed a lot of the printed media, but they've more than made up for it by taking over the online versions of the media, which is nothing but garbage, but hey, they are what's left and people are actually reading and hearing and seeing that fake news version.
