It used to be radio and TV got the story out first, then the newspaper or magazines gave more details. Now it’s not news, it’s just views or opinions. We’ve lost the 4th estate.
I finally called the local newspaper and canceled my home delivery option and now rely on the eNewspaper, which I found out incidentally from my security camera was being delivered at 1 am. When I was a newspaper boy for the same paper back 1950 we had to have it delivered by 5 am so the guys getting ready to go to work could read it with their breakfast.
There may be a lot of things that happened that you didn’t hear about – depending on what you use as your source of news. Way too many media sources (like cable and network TV) have been suppressing “inconvenient” news for many years now. Many print media sources are equally guilty.
I subscribe online to two newspapers. I look forward to reading them each day, but I would never subscribe to home delivery again. What a waste of trees.
considering that a good portion of japan’s pulp for newspapers is produced in these parts, it’s interesting that we can only get yesterday’s news delivered tomorrow here…

I can’t remember the last time I saw an actual newsstand. Probably about the last time I saw a phonebooth.

Subscribe to your local newspaper. You can read real news on your phone rather than the blathering of some social media nitwit.
