That's a pretty good deal, I would re-subscribe just to cancel that shit again in 51 weeks.

The only problem, besides it being a shitty paper, is that they are dumb as fuck and will not suspend service if you go out of town.

I was a subscriber about 10 years ago and I called to halt for a month and the stupid fuckers kept it coming. Great invitation for burglars having the paper pile up on your door.

The first All-Starr excursion led to the release of Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band (1990), a compilation of live performances from the tour.[153] In the same year, Starr recorded a version of the song "I Call Your Name" for a television special marking the 10th anniversary of John Lennon's death and the 50th anniversary of Lennon's birth. The track, produced by Lynne, features a supergroup composed of Lynne, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh and Jim Keltner.[154] Shell Station 9803 Richmond Highway, Lorton, VA 22079 turn at Gunston Rd do not merge onto I-95 or I-95 South.

The Washington Post is not desperate.

It is just one of Jeff Bezos' hobbies. Although I imagine he would prefer that it at least break even, it's not necessary that it does. He is worth around $30 Billion (with a B) and he can bankroll it for as long as he chooses to do so.

The Washington Times has operated in the red for it's entire history. But it too serves a purpose for a group that has a great deal of money.

Don't feel sorry Jeff Bezos, he knows what he's doing.

We get the Sunday-only paper. They can never understand why we don't want to fish six other papers out of the gutter each week and ferry them to the recycling bin.

Frankly, we keep the Sunday insert, and the rest doesn't even make it into the house.

Vacation stops seem to be hit-or-miss. It's not the Post's fault - it comes down to the independent distributor and delivery person to actually make it happen.

Very relevant. Big papers can still make things happen.

Remember the VA scandal involving deplorable conditions for wounded vets? The Post did a series on that and things changed.

They just did a series on the "stop and seize" shit that the cops are doing. Things are likely to change on that too.

I'm sure the mouthbreathers on here don't read the Post (or anything else for that matter), but I guarantee that, among others, political big shots read the Post.

The Post is not what it once was, but it remains one of the nation's premier newspapers. It is center to right-of-center in its editorial outlook, and too sensitive to phony charges of "liberal bias" in its reporting. Still, anyone wishing to consider himself well-informed who does not take The Post daily is dis-serving himself. As for the Times, Examiner, and Politico, don't make me laugh.

I read the Post every day and most of what I learn has no political leaning involved---such as stats on heroin use, crime, supreme court rulings, retirements among officials, etc. Most of what is reported in the paper is factual information and not opinions. There are some opinions of course (editorials for example), but I know what I am reading and understand the basis for the opinions (because, believe it or not, you need to know the facts before you can form an opinion). Many people don't read newspapers or don't read anything because they don't want to be forced to think. It's just too hard for them.

If the Post were smart (and thank God they're not) they'd start free delivery to every ritzy neighborhood in the area, then charge people a fee to stop receiving that garbage every day, a buck a week would be a bargain. This would both increase circulation and revenues.

Our neighborhood association found out that you can't stop someone from dropping off free papers when the Examiner used to do this. The perfect opportunity for extortion.

That's a nice ideal but completely unrealistic. There's lots of bleed-over of opinion in virtually all media even when dealing with 'factual' subjects. That includes story selection, what appears where, what facts and sources are cited, and what's not said. As any astute reader understands and as the Post's, NYT's, and other major paper's ombudsmen have routinely noted over the years.

If you're ever deeply involved in something or some organization that's the subject of news articles, then you'll understand how wrong or slanted reporting can be. In my case where I first learned that, as a specific example, was at one point long ago when I worked with a large Federal program that the Post had a particular editorial dislike for. Any time that we were on the verge of making a decision or going before Congress for oversight or budget hearings, you could guarantee that there would be a front page 'factual' article raising some issues or similar in an attempt to manipulate opinion most of the time with clear factual errors or omissions of key points.

You need to read everything with the appropriate filters and from multiple sources even some you sometimes may not like.

Serious writing does not need much filtering. Honest reporters work diligently to keep personal notions and attitudes out of their work. This is after all a central requirement of the scientific method. Over on the other side of the room, where clown-bot propaganda is produced, there are mobs of unreliable hacks-for-hire and hence many sources that can simply be dismissed out of hand.

Jason Reid just got destroyed on Twitter by Ryan Clark, got called out for fighting with other reporters in the locker room and making incorrect accusations about Clark's play on Monday. Reid's defense was that someone else fed him the bad info, admitting that he can't evaluate the game on his own. No way guys like Reid or Wise would be employed in other markets but the Post keeps them around due to the adversarial relationship with the Redskins. No wonder they've dropped 20% of their readership in four years, they're toast.

Reporters aren't scientists and newspapers aren't scientific journals. It's a relatively rare writer who's completely objective when writing about a subject with some controversial aspect(s). Even when they try to be. Many don't and go into stories with definite points of view. Then you layer on things like editorial influences, various vested or conflicts of interest, advertisers paying the bills, contributors paying for coverage of particular subjects in known preferred ways, etc.

Even scientific literature isn't necessarily completely without bias. That may be the gold standard but it's not unusual to see it in design, selection bias, interpretation of results, etc., whether intended or unintended. The scientist with a preferred explanation for everything which aligns with his pet research focus isn't a particularly rare beast.

Humans are rather poor at being able to completely remove their own experiences, interests, preferred outcomes, and other influences. That's a big part of why we have things like scientific method to minimize those effects.

I seriously doubt most Washington Post subscribers do so for the coverage of the Deadskins. Or sports in general for that matter. Believe it or not, there are people that dont give a shit about sports.

I went to all the trouble of distinguishing "serious writing" from everything else, and you insist on talking about everything else. Have a good time with that. Scholarly, academic, and professional writing are not done by junior-grade j-school grads, nor by the silver-tongued demagogues at the propaganda mills. If you find clean-hands writing to be rare and difficult to come by, you are not looking in the proper places.

The subject is the Post (and similar). Very little of which I'd consider 'serious writing.' Obviously there is good objective writing beyond that. And some within.

The subject is your simplistic yet universal claims, flaws in which have been pointed out. You do not have any rejoinder to those notes, yet post on and on as if you did. What a waste of time. Clearly, serious writing is not your forte.

If you'd had a source for that, I assume you would have included it, but the larger point is that writing for a broad public is different from writing for some literary salon. Standard practice for junior website authors for instance would include running the text for their pages through Flesch-Kincaid or other ease-of-reading examinations and then simplifying anything that comes back at higher than a fifth-grade level. The Gettysburg Address by comparison is written at a tenth-grade level. This is not to suggest that people should publish at a fifth-grade level. It is a means of teaching the need for simplicity in dealing with the public.

By the way, I ran the first half dozen paragraphs from this morning's Post article about the Cartagena prostitution investigations through a Flecsh-Kincaid test. It came back at an eighteenth-grade level, not sixth.

The Post is pretty much an online entity. It's a gathering place for nerds, progtards, shrill feminists and gays.

Look at their comments section sometime, it is crawling with worse libturd idiots than here.

It makes the kneejerks here sound like rational moderates.

If you're looking for a dry version of the news, read The Economist. The British are very good at writing in a highbrow and dry way. They do have opinions however.

I do think that the Post, in general, is well written. The New York Times is also well written.

And, if you are dropping the Post because of the Redskins issue, you probably don't like big picture issues anyway.

And ALL newspapers have lost paper readership. It's called the INTERNET.

Yes, you are a waste of time. You inserted yourself into a rather clear discussion re bias in the news sections of the paper. Then you take my comment out of that context and go off on some tangent about 'serious writing' either mistakenly or intentionally attempting to extend it to say that there is no objective writing. Then you act like I was the one making the false universal claim that *YOU* created. lol
