The Advocate is what Trump would call “Fake News”.

Exactly, maybe this also lets them unload the piece of excrement Bob Mann. Guy has made a living stealing from the government and putting out his idiotic screed in this “publication”.

I doubt you’ve read any of the tripe that Bob Mann has written. I hope LSU sends his arse packing too.

Do NOT tell me that that cup was dreamed up last week, manufactured in China and shipped here this fast.

I would feel a bit of sympathy if the mug was produced in the USA, if the bags were manufactured in Kentucky or Tennessee and whatever the third thing was was produced in Louisiana.

Until then, let his money hemorrhage as if it has ebola

WAFB uses most of its "newscast" sensationalizing and repeating the weather, even on pretty days, then spends the rest of the time promoting their app which is loaded with ads.

And even though we have a city/state full of incompetence and corruption, most of WAFB & WBRZ "investigations" involve petty things like broken sidewalks in front of a home or a clogged culvert.

When you hire idiot activists and produce a shite product, you will go out of business. The only reason The Advocate and their crew of liberals isn't bankrupt yet is because older people still subscribe.



This was my reply to the email:

I received the Advocate at my home for over 40 years. At one time I received both Advocate, and State Times. I stopped the newspaper sometime following the sale to Georges. I stopped receiving, and reading the newspaper because of its far left political views. If you need help, I suggest you check the voter rolls and send your emails to your liberal friends.
Have a Good Day

Bob Marshall



Can they not find a few conservatives to write for them? Why does a newspaper in Louisiana thing a leftist spin on every article and on the editorial page will sell newspapers?

From what I understand John Georges gave his publisher in command 5 years (from 2013) to make something out of The Advocate...I.E. not be a losing mess. There was a lot of money poured into that operation. I guess the virus was the dagger. I know a lot of people that work there..Some are decent people and some I wouldn't hire to wash my dog.
