I already cancelled mine several years ago because of how shitty that pile of garbage had become. After following the Alton Sterling crap and seeing how their shite-stirring SJW reporters covered the events, I'm asking anyone with a subscription to cancel it and tell them why. They didn't report the news. They blatantly had an agenda, and they took every opportunity to frame every interaction against the cops watching over the "protests." They only stirred the pot further due to their own idiotic beliefs. That's no journalism, that's trash.

So cancel on those idiots and make it a point to tell them how their idiots in the field pushed you away. If you still want to read the paper, don't worry, they still deliver every day to my entire street and we all canceled within the last year. Incompetence at its finest.

You just drew more people's attention to the Alton Sterling feed and got their website no less than 100 more visitors. Congrats!

The liberal bias has destroyed that paper. I get my news elsewhere.

Since Georges bought he has turned it into one big op-ed paper.

You may be right, you may be wrong but if the entire country had this view there would be ZERO news 'reporting' going on... It's just what it's come to these days

Their website is the worst website ever to try to move through. I understand ads are their revenue but there is a limit to where you piss people off enough where they won't go back.

It's a website, how do you subscribe to a website?

The sad thing is they actually only do it for that reason. Website hits and social media shares and engagements are how they are judged and paid.

Controversial = $$$

We cancelled after one of the shootings a couple years ago. They published a comic of the hunting seasons. It was like "Deer Season" "Duck Season" And the last one was "Black People Season"
Frick the advocate. And the dumbasses that fly down my street in Mustangs/Chargers throwing that hunk of garbage wherever it lands.

alright gramps and tell them to get off your lawn while youre at it! who gets the paper anyways? Its OLD news by the time you get it.

But I agree the Advocate is shitty and pretty biased on one side of the aisle.

I know for a fact that they are going after young readers. They feel it is their only hope to stay open going forward. They are right but in the mean time they are alienating their largest subscriber base.

That's ridiculous! I'm pretty sure black people season is year round. At least that's what BLM says.

I only like to read the advocate on Saturday and Sunday mornings during foosball season. And I can pretty much do without that.
