This fricken 'newspaper' is trying hard to start a race war in SE Louisiana. The editor/publisher should be arrested for trying this. I dropped the subscription 3 years ago. Wish the Manships still owned it. Perhaps someone should put a bunch of skunks in their building overnight during the weekend.

Was just about to say that. Hell, this website is probably responsible for killing 90% of any "breaking news" sites around here. Makes me think Chicken better be watching his back. Nakamoto might be coming for revenge if WBRZ clicks are down..

It's been crap for years. It used to be a good publication.

While this may be essentially the same news, at least here it isn't double battered in bias, and deep fried in propaganda.

The advocate is garbage.

I cancelled my subscription 18 months ago.

They should probably focus on BR’s incredibly public schools system, renown traffic infrastructure, aggressive business-growth model, and vibrant, safe culture.

Aside from their shite content and zero oversight for editing anything, I go out of my way to avoid their abortion of a website.

They had the blatantly false caption a few days ago - “man sentenced to life in prison for stealing hedge clippers.”

So you come to the OT? That's pretty much the only things talked about here.

But seriously the Advocate is aweful. I never went there for news much in the first place, but awhile back there was a link to an article and you had to become a subscriber to see it.

There is no way they could make more money as a subscriber sight as they could with advertisements on their website.

They will still get advertisers I am sure, but with less views they will not be able to charge as much.. Either way, yeah.. It sucks.

You, yourself, have linked articles from subscription-based news outlets.

Paper Newspapers are on a death march. Subscriptions for those under 35 are basically nonexistent. The Boomers are keeping them on life support but that is a very temporary thing.
