The publisher/owners are conservative and I get it for local coverage. As a local business owner I find it a valuable resource to at least flip through nearly daily to know the local goings on. I would much rather flip through the daily paper than try to sit through any of the local newscasts. I get the local newspaper at the office.

The local and the Sunday edition of the nearby big city paper. The local is <strong>really</strong> local. The news fills only the first 3 pages. Then its on to the comics and sudoku. We get the Sunday paper at the supermarket for 75 cents, about half price, so that we can save about $15 a week in coupons. I <em>never</em> read the content of that rag. Like others, I don't even bother to watch the local news on tv:<em>fire, shooting, fire, weather, cute animal story, sports.</em> It never changes. Never anything that is in my local paper (unless we have a <strong>really</strong> big fire.) We get two newspapers. The local and the Sunday edition of the nearby big city paper.

The big local paper is the San Francisco Chronicle (gack!). There's a smaller paper in Marin called the Marin Independent Journal. They're both garbage. Not only have I not subscribed to either in over ten years, I haven't bought a copy of the Chronicle in, oh, five or six years. Last Mother's Day, the Marin Independent Journal had a huge article about a mom and her lesbian daughter which, of course, sang the virtues of their completely "normal" relationship. I don't think homosexuals should hide under rocks but it's disgusting the way the IJ wanted to use a warm, family holiday to lecture the public, the hoi polloi, about how gr-e-e-e-at it is to be a lesbian. How many people really want to celebrate Mother's Day by reading a gigantic article on lesbians? And they wonder why their subscriptions are falling off a cliff. I live in Marin County, CA.
