Fake news for the USA as a standard practice?! Of course. The American news media is already Pravda. Weather girls on the local channels are entertaining and acceptable. Sports highlights are cool.
There was a time I read 2 good regional newspapers each morning. Thought I was very well informed, for the time I was.
Those Regional papers have been bought up, they shed the people who actually understood things and wrote thoughtful content. Now it is all AP nonsense. 90% of it is worse than worthless. I’ve not subscribed to a newspaper in over 20 years. It was just not worth reading, even if it was free (and it was not).
My father will be 93 in a few days. He still gets a newspaper that is part of USA Today’s holdings. They cannot even deliver it properly any more. He has been taking that paper (under other ownership) since 1962 at his current location. They changed delivery people and they threw it in the neighboring yard, building vacant for 15 years. (guess it was a GPS issue). It took 5 phone calls and waiting in the phone cue 5 times to get the problem fixed. How did they fix it? They delivered a paper in both yards for a few months and finally got it right. Idiots with computers. Headshake.
I just returned dad’s subscription renewal envelope this week to cancel it. He is unable to read it well now and it serves no purpose.
