What's the reason for this? We’re changing our billing cycle to 4 weeks to standardize our accounting. Monthly billing meant one price for different amounts of days depending on the month.

Yea, accountants don't care about this shite. If anything, they'll hate the fact that they will now need to rework all of their spreadsheets to account for all of the different pre-paid calculations when it's time to close and reconcile their year-end.

They were always a joke of a newspaper who made it its objective to make excuses for the Democrats.


The worst. Will Sutton is the biggest loser, always apologizing for the left and advocating for us to continue wearing masks. What a turd. I envision him looking and acting like Lutz from 30 ROck.

I was busy and missed a text from them so had to start over. Got me so pissed I was thinking of heading over to their headquarters.


Their fault for sure. You go Karen.

I haven't paid for a newspaper service in at least a decade. This sounds like the right time for most of you to turn these plebes off for good.

There's ways to create, cultivate and keep an audience. The Advocate doesn't seem interested in any of those things.

I'm old enough to remember when you could hide behind it. It's so tiny now. What's sad is how uncurrent the news is. I read the NY Times infrequently, but there is so much in there I miss online (in general, not their site).

Their ad rates are based on number of subscribers. So they do not want cancellations.

You couldn't give me that liberal rag for free. I cancelled my subscription a few years ago and they called me for months offering discounted prices. It made me mad because I told them to quit calling but they just kept calling back. Only good for lighting my fireplace.

The Advocate can go F- themselves with this price increase. My 82 year old mother gets a paper. Sometimes the paper shows up. Sometimes it doesn’t. Don’t sell me this line about accounting practices. That’s BS.

The liberal advocate can get F-. 9 % increase ? I don’t think so.

I get all my inside information from Tigerdroppings. And I don’t have to wait 24 hours either.

Advocate accountants: “Darn it, boss. I know we’ve been doing monthly billing for decades, but despite the computers and software that have been invented during that time, we just can’t handle it any more. We simply must standardize our accounting and go to weekly billing or my guys are going to kill themselves.”
