55. I just cancelled my subscription to the N&O

Dec 2022

because it has moved so far right. When we first moved to NC (Chapel Hill,) in 2000, we started taking the N&O in addition to the NY Times. It started moving to the right after it was bought by McClatchy in 1995. Now it's ridiculous. They don't even print Letters to the Editor anymore. They "report" right wing talking points--propaganda--as though it is news. They bury real news on page 10 and put human interest stories on the front page, above the fold, as though they are a weekly paper from some small town in the '50's, instead of the newspaper of a capital city. Pathetic.

Screw 'em.
