anyone responsible for employing Will Sutton deserves a slow and painfully drawn out financial death. Hopefully they spend every last dollar they have trying to stay afloat before calling it quits

They can stop throwing their junk in my yard a few times a week and save some money. It goes straight in the trash every time.

I am sentimental regarding the demise of print media, but truth told I have not read the news on papyrus in years.

It would help if more Democrats could read. Way to pick a side......

My experience with the digital version was not good either. I found it very clunky and always asking me to log in again. I canceled that subscription too.

I can’t wait to see the Advocate go out of business.

If you know anyone still subscribing, have them cancel.

I've got a 1st cousin on the management at that POS business. That rag is so bad I won't feel one ounce of pity, nor compassion, for her when it goes under and she's unemployed.

She chose that career path and that vile institution, and continues to choose to work there daily. She should have made better choices. She was raised better than that.

It saddens me to see this happen to local media. Journalists did this to themself, no doubt. Unfortunately, as local media dies off, I feel like it’s easier for MSM to simply take over.

My dad canceled his subscription a while back, but they still deliver his paper.

The masses continue to reject media liberalism. Yet they lean farther and farther left. Going all in.

Get woke, go broke. No tears shed from me.

The Advocate Killed Tanden with it’s shitty news.


TD is so far superior the Badvocate in every way, including that we don’t kill rodents.






Aside from the occasional hamstercaust/gerbilcide, but we don’t speak of those.

True story alert.

I was at The Daily Advertiser selling retail ad space back in the late 90's and was there when our parent company, Thompson at the time) went from the old size newspapers that had been the norm for decades to a smaller size paper. The discussions we had in house in the sales department were always hilarious. I'd start arguing with sales management that customers were going to be pissed that their ads were going to be physically smaller, and they'd toe the company line that they were still going to be the same percentage size on the paper. On day I took some time to "cut and paste" (which means exactly that...with a scissors and tape) a bunch of my regular ads I had running with customers on to the white board we had in our conference room and then had recreated them myself (which is partly how I taught myself graphic software) in the new smaller sizes and taped them next to their counterparts. It was obvious that less information could go in each add and what was there had to be smaller due to the new size.

Obviously the paper was getting smaller regardless, but I enjoyed getting to make a show of how stupid they were being for acting as if the complaints I'd get (and of course I got them) from customers were going to be just complaining on their part.





How small is it now, like magazine size?
