I subscribe to two daily newspapers, Amarillo Globe News and the Borger Daily Herald. Back when you could get newspapers at Hastings I would also get the Daily Oklahoman as well as The Dallas Morning News or Houston Chronicle.

We stopped getting the DMN years ago, too much favoritism shown instead of just reporting facts

I quit two years ago, took 12 months to get the Fort Worth Star Telegram to stop sending it, and now they call twice a month trying to get me to come back. I really only read the Ed Wallace articles, and sports.

I cancelled the DMN back in June when they went up to a crazy rate.. They continue to deliver it - I think it's because I always gave a pretty good Christmas tip to the delivery guy. Going to really give him a nice one this year

JR Same here. Dumped the DMN in June when they went up to $60+/month. Now get it online for $6/month. Going green baby. And saving $650/year.

I quit 10 years ago when they wanted to go from $18 to$30. The local obits are free on line and I get all the comics online for free. I don't care about sports at all. Mondays paper was 4 pages, mostly mattress ads and gutter ads, total of 4 stories and a strictly liberal editorial page. Front page 'stories a few weeks ago was how mitch McConnell (r ky) was using his influence to bring jobs to ky.

We get the DMN every day. Wife claims the coupons pay for the heavily grandfathered subscription rate we pay. I find the libtard editorials and letters to the editor very entertaining.

Went to online only with the DMN about a year ago. Had it delivered daily ever since I moved up here from Corpus years ago. Just not worth it anymore. For example, today's entire DMN was 34 pages front to back. Take away the Amber Guyger coverage and it's even less. Too many front page articles from the WAPO and the NYT too. It's changed a lot and not in a good way. They can't be adding subscribers. I don't see how they're hanging on.
You are not a good or nice person.

I quit taking the Dallas Morning News after 20 years the day they announced support for Hillary. I knew it was a lib paper but supporting a crook like Hillary is going too far. I get all the news krap I can handle on TV anyway. We quit them 25? years ago when they quit accepting ads for guns.
