Okay, you could call this another anti-Gannett rant by one of the bitterest of the many bitter folks in our town who lived through the sale of the newspapers to Gannett and then bailed out rather than work for one of the most mendacious companies in media. Ahem. But I think this one's legit:
It appears that the CJ on Wednesdays has recently begun tossing out copies of its "Neighborhoods" section, sheathed in ugly pastel pink or green plastic bags, to every household that does not subscribe to the daily paper. And worse, the low-wage workers they hire to do the distribution are making no effort to get them up onto peoples' porches or even their yards. They just flip them onto the easement between the sidewalk and the street, where they generally lie until they rot or until a good neighbor picks them up and ****-cans them. The folks inside the house, not expecting this unsolicited freebie, generally have no idea it's there.
Why, it's just like spam, but spam that uglifies the neighborhood. Thanks a lot, Gannett!
