Their entire circulation is about 147,000. That is tiny for the size of the population down here\ in the millions.
Because it is a sht paper.

Herald had two additions as I recall. Then again, writers use to know how to write and people use to know how to read. Although I have to admit, once I gave up smoking. coffee on the patio with the paper to read seemed empty. Don't think I've had newsprint on my fingers in dozen years.I remember when we used to get three papers at home...Herald and News were printed seven days a week. Also got the smaller tabloid Miami Beach Sun.

Since the sons took over I stopped watching Fox(not enough short skirts). Now I watch OAN, but only for the news. I do miss watching older CNN. It was always Communist News Network since Ted started it, but they use to put on a better act and actually reported some news in the process. I haven't watch it in a good 10 years now.Society further retreating into their own tribal bubbles.
Why would any reasonable person read any newspaper, watch CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc.?
Why would any liberal watch Fox or read WSJ?
Today's ear of "hyper-tailoring" the experience drives us farther apart, not closer together.

Nothing like lamenting the further tribalism of America by calling one side "reasonable people" and the other side "liberals".
You'll occasionally hear about objective news being reported at an outlet followed by a flurry of outraged readers threatening to cancel.Society further retreating into their own tribal bubbles.

The press has never been honest. The idea that there was a golden age of honest news is the biggest lie of all time.You'll occasionally hear about objective news being reported at an outlet followed by a flurry of outraged readers threatening to cancel.
If you want actual news with a minimum of political slant, you have to read foreign press.
I remember delivering the Evening Times as a kid. It was the afternoon edition of the Palm Beach Post. Can you imagine printing a whole newspaper twice a day?
That would be why I said a minimum of political slant.The press has never been honest. The idea that there was a golden age of honest news is the biggest lie of all time.
publishers have always had agendas.
Yeah I’m with you. Was listening to a rogan podcast with Matt Tiabi recently and he was moaning about the days of only three networks and some golden age of unbiased news, which I found laughable. I’m triggered by this topic and the idea that self interest and disinformation are recent phenomena.That would be why I said a minimum of political slant.
Back in the 80's it was all about drunk driving. MADD was everywhere. Drunk driving accidents were front page news. Then every state decided to crucify drunk drivers for even their first infraction. Then they moved on to the next cause. You'd think drunk driving accidents never happen anymore, but school shootings? You'd think your kid was being dropped off at a war zone these days. Yes, the press has always had an agenda. Remember The Maine was pushed by Hearst over a century ago to sell newspapers.
Foreign press is a lot less blatant and less obvious is all.
By the mid-1990's it was called "keyboarding" class in some schools instead of "typing."Young people today will be asking what a hard copy of the newspaper is...
Like the Guardian?You'll occasionally hear about objective news being reported at an outlet followed by a flurry of outraged readers threatening to cancel.

Usually BBC news. Yes, the Guardian is as left wing as some of our stuff, so are the Mirror and Independent. One difference is they don't try to claim to be centrist like ours do.Like the Guardian?
