Political bias aside, I just can't visit their website anymore.

Only content is:

Shootings
COVID
Flooding
Someone gets indicted.


Just all around depressing, not to mention the entire website is overrun with pop up banner ads.

I said the same thing about content on the WAFB and WBRZ news app. What are some other options to hear what’s going on in local news and politics?

My mama pays for 'scription so I read the E-Edition with her credentials. There are no pop ups on the E-Edition as it's the actual printed paper in a reader app.

Well only thing I can tell you is don’t read or watch the news.. because Louisiana is only 98% of that, until a hurricane comes then that will be added to the list

This is baton rouge, shootings happen almost hourly at this point.
Covid, hello, its on every news source.
Flooding, since 2016 its a big deal round here, plus its been raining cats and dogs almost daily.
Someone getting indicted, this is louisiana where the politics are as crooked as the mississippi river.

Only other thing to talk about is Brennan breaking his arm in an unfootball related manner

What took you so long? And WAFB seems to be vying to be the local version of CNN with sensational, race baiting headlines, and zero useful content. To think, there was a time both were decent sources for news and information.

The Advocate is just a left wing propaganda pusher.... nothing more.

Jeremy Usborne : Yeah! Yeah, this is such bullshite.

Mark Corrigan : Yes, I suppose the news should just be a dispassionate list of all the events that have occurred the world over during the day.

Not to defend The Advocate but these are the only things going on in Louisiana right now.

Every news broadcast should start with:

“Billions of people around the world had a normal, happy day today. Here are the outliers.”
