$80 a month for that ****ing rag? Holy shit. LMAO

Regardless of what you think about their Tyreek Hill coverage - local papers are about the only thing that bring attention to local problems and local corruption and hold politicians accountable. It's very bad for the community when they fold up.

The shell companies who own them and drive them into the ground don't mind this outcome at all.

I bought the book and am really looking forward to it.

Our local paper has been 95% AP stories for the past 25 years. What local stories there are drop 2 days after because a couple of years ago they shut down most of the local office and moved typesetting/printing 2,5 hours away Little Rock.n
Thankfully we have a couple of online only publications that are filling the void.

Please let the door hit you in the ass KC Star

Our local papers refuse to cover any political corruption if it furthers the Dem narrative. Indep. City hall including the corrupt mayor has only been covered by a local news channel. The papers have been deathly silent even when the FBI was questioning the Mayor and Councilmen. Our City hall does whatever they want on taxpayer's dime and have no fear of the Examiner posting a word about it.

They take no accountability for their actions like enabling Mac & Cheese with Jeff Rosen in charge

I get the hate for the Star, but it'd be pretty sad if Kansas City lost its only daily newspaper.

Wrong. Newspapers are 90% fake news

What data are you using to get the 90% figure? Honest question. A link should suffice.

Printed newspapers are a 15th century invention that is going the way of the 8-track tape.

Facebook and bumper stickers.

I get all of my news through CPDC! Working great so far.

Looks like both papers covered it.

Losing newspapers in this day and age isn't going to change anything. The ability to disseminate information through other more cost effective measures is there.

As for your particular claim:

From what I read it seems the FBI as of 02/19 wasn't interested in talking to the mayor? But did question CC members.

So yea, they covered it.

Na, that's absolute bullshit. Pick up an actual, physical paper sometime. 90% of it is unexciting, but that's the problem. No TV station or national news station is going to report on most of it.
