Yes it does have a LARGE amount of ads. That is a function of it's readership demographics (that still tend to read a daily publication) and that it's overwhelming circulation numbers are from subscriptions and not "daily sales" ( coin operated boxes and sales in retail locations). The % of circulation that is from "papers in the driveway" is HIGHLY prized in the newspaper ad sales world.

Yes, it does still have a strong political basis, which is also a demographic factor.

But overall .... IMO a much much better paper than before.

Agree.
