DON’T READ THEM. Whether you ordered them or not, if you open and read those papers you are financially obligated to buy them. You have derived the benefit of the newspaper.

What you need to do is store the newspapers in a box exactly the way you received them. Then, depending on your personality, either give the newspapers back and tell them to stop delivering the newspapers; or threaten to sue them for littering and/or harassment.

I have a couple of neighbors that used to get that rag on the weekend. They've since stopped in the past year.

It is a time where local news could be killing it with national news so bad. But, they are so bad. Only focused on carrying the water for the Left and hating Trump.

They are doing this so that they can still claim to their advertisers they have a specific number of papers delivered.

Call them. Tell them you canceled their rag because of the amateurish, biased, left-wing excuse for journalism. And that you don’t want their crap, even if it is free. Tell them that the thought of your money (or false circulation statistics) contributing to the salary of their writers and staff is unacceptable.

And tell them that you are considering adopting their cancel culture policies and may begin telling any of their advertising customers that you are hesitant to support a business that funds the Advocate’s propaganda machine.

I used to get the paper all the time without paying for it. The advocate has to print X amount to justify the cost of advertisement even if they throw hem away, which they literally do.

I told my busy body neighbor this one time and she called them and had the paper cancelled on me :)

I kinda miss them. They are good for starting charcoal grills and firepits as well as covering tables for crawfish..

They are throwing unsolicited garbage on your property. Video it and get them on littering

I get their free shite occasionally.

I’m tempted to collect it up then go dump it in their lobby when I go into BR.

You're thinking of filing a lawsuit because you're getting a free newspaper?

Gather them up, a good batch too, and go by 10705 Rieger Rd, BR, and unceremoniously dump them all in the most obnoxious place and manner possible. Hell maybe piss on them first.

I’m so sick of Will Sutton articles that I’ve considered cancelling myself. I wish they could exclude any and all trash from him before it reaches my lawn.

Plenty of homeless are doing that already due to its close proximity to Siegen.

I had to tell the Shreveport times the next paper they threw in my yard I would be calling the Sheriff's Department and filing a littering complaint.
