Daily News. "Easy to hold fun to read". My Uncle while working as a linotype operator at the time, printed the first edition, per my mother. Belonged to then named Public Ledger now named Inquirer.

I used to deliver The Germantown Courier.

I heard The Bulletin tried to come back but seems gone.

Checked the editorial section for any change. Saw an Obama cartoon and a Michelle Malkin commentary. But no Ollie North. The rest of the paper looks the same also if not thinner paper stock.

Fridays are my favorite; there's the suto section, new movies, and I can still do the crossword (forget Saturday).

Are you saying it's too expensive for what you get?
You missed the point entirely. What gave you the idea that it was about the cost. I was commenting about the content amd the recent change in format. The simple fact is that I find little of interest in the present Daily Sun.

I agree and has been a pet peeve of mine for so long. It gives good coverage of teams in the N.E. and mid west. I know they try to cater to those residents from that area, but those that moved here from other areas of Fla. are in the majority if I'm not mistaken. I especially am frustrated with college baseball when we have 3 of the best teams in the country here year after year and there isn't even a score listed, never mine an article. They would rather cover womens soccer or field hockey or whatever.

I'm sure the folks from the North and Midwest, or of women's soccer or field hockey or whatever would have the same gripe too if all of the coverage was of college baseball.

I find the sports page 3 to be useful when looking for scores that didn't make it elsewhere in the section.
