For some reason, a newspaper reporter did a story about the suicide of a man who was a friend of my uncle. The story made it look as if it was my uncle’s fault by getting a depressed man drunk. The friend was already drunk when my uncle got to his house. My 5 foot 5 uncle tried to get the gun away from his 6 foot 8 bodybuilder friend. My uncle requested a retraction, I don’t know what became of it.

A paper I delivered had mistakes in every story that I wasfamiliar with..

I don’t hold much value to newspapers.

Once Parade is printed, the magazine must be shipped to the newspapers that carry it. They’re delivered by truck. Once Parade gets to the newspaper, then it is inserted into pre-print sections – sections such as features and comics that are printed on the press a few days before the Sunday paper comes out. On Saturday nights, the pre-printed sections are then combined with the sections containing fresh news (like the A-section, metro and sports) and the papers are delivered on Sundays. So, the three-week lead time is needed for Parade to be printed, shipped, inserted into pre-print sections then inserted into the final paper.

I renewed a mag subscription for THREE years in December. Last week, I get some “special renewal offer” from them. But only if I act fast!!!

It kind of reminds me of when you give a homeless man some money on the way into the store, and then on the way out it’s like you never gave him a thing.

I think they just take as much money up front as they possibly can.
