Just canceled my daily subscription... Lady asked why? Said Politics. Tried to convince me to do a "protest stop" thru 12/1 (apparently they are getting more than a few cancellations today)... No thanks!

and rue the day they decided to "officially" become a part of the McKenna machine. The only ones that I know who subscribe to the paper are the older, more liberal folk, where I live up here in the North Sound area...people who want to support "print" media and care about actually reading the daily news. Don't know any right wingers who ever even pick up a paper, let alone subscribe to one or actually read it. I have a feeling that the Seattle Times just clanged their death knell with that gigantic ugly page in the paper.

I really do not know how I will get by without my crosswords (it's gonna be one hell of a long winter for me now), but we'll be calling them in the morning to cancel our long-time subscription. My neighbors down the road are doing the same.

I dropped it when it went to a morning publication. Reading a morning paper did not fit into my schedule and reading it at night seemed like reading old news. For years afterwards, they kept calling with attractive subscription offers to get me to subscribe again. I turned them all down. I now wish I was still a subscriber so I could cancel it due to the paper becoming an advertising arm of the McKenna campaign. I don't look at their on-line publication either.

I understood when I saw the paper recommend McKenna over Inslee in their editorial column. Many papers do that without becoming part of a particular candidate's campaign. The Times has clearly overstepped their role as journalists and have become panderers.
