I finally let my weekend subscription expire about 18 months ago. I have been getting calls for about 12 months trying to convince me to renew. I have refused, explaining they are too commie/pinko/liberal for me. With no advance notice, this past weekend, I have been receiving a paper in my driveway. No where near the good fortune I have been praying for. Should I wake up early, meet them outside, and tell them to knock it off? Or should I file a lawsuit accusing them of attempting to indoctrinate?

Definitely file a lawsuit. You will easily win millions, if not billions. Congrats

Go take a shite in front of their building, since they want to leave their crap in front of your house

Collect a bunch of newspapers then pass by their office one day and throw them all on their doorstep.

That's the nice thing about the modern age. You don't have to be an old white dude anymore to smell the propaganda. Anyone other than a useful idiot can detect it.

You think "commie/pinko/liberal" is a tad left leaning?

I don't like right wingers showing their ignorance using terms they don't understand just as much as the woke changing the the definition of every social science term to fit their ideology.

We've degenerated to the point that any information with which we disagree is propaganda, and any political system with which we disagree is communism. It's a sad state of affairs.

Yes, but video the encounter and then turn it into an IN gif to share with the OT

They are doing this so that they can still claim to their advertisers they have a specific number of papers delivered. You have two choices. Call them and tell them to stop, and/or begin collecting them and then once every 6 months drive by their offices and dump them off on their front desk and explain you'd like it to stop. And encourage others to do the same.
