we still have the Daily Sun delivered, basically because my wife likes to do the crossword puzzle....all "the news" in that paper I've pretty much been made aware of the day before online

I felt that I could 'trust' the news back in the day when it was Huntley/Brinkley and Walter Cronkite....no longer

today every journalist wants to be the next Woodward and Burnstein ....(or whatever their names were)
Do they still have news on TV? Who knew?
