The Baton Rouge newspaper used to be one of the best in the country....not any more! They have followed all other media outlets in this country and are embarrassingly liberal.
Why cant the media just factually report the news, without any bias? I guess those days are gone.....
I"m canceling my subscription!

They'll still litter your yard with one a few days per week. I just save them for crawfish boils.

Go meet a newspaper "reporter" these days. Ideology is front and center.

Just like quitting social media, it doesn't count unless you tell everyone about it.

Somewhere along the line, media got a big head and started thinking their opinions were something we want to hear with everyday news.

These outlets can't even seem to hire competent editors. My expectations can not be lower for them.

I’ll give you an answer nobody will like. Conservatives do not go into journalism. It’s few and far between. Conservative Males generally opt for hard sciences, business, etc. Basically things with a guaranteed income.

Believe it or not, I was asked by their Dean to go into journalism in college at LSU. I opted against it because my business path seemed to be a better long term financial path. I’m in Supply Chain.

I couldn’t have made a better choice.

Now they're begging for donations like every bum on every street corner in Baton Rouge.

I'm with you. I get a paper delivered on Saturday and Sunday. Like to read early in the morning and enjoy some coffee on the weekends. But it's become just another liberal piece of trash that has become impossible to read.

Maybe work on cancelling your block buster membership card while you’re at it
