9. Selling it to Gannett was a big mistake

As soon as Gannett took over, service started sucking. I was a subscriber at that time, and I wouldn't get my paper 3 or 4 days each week. I'd have to phone the local office to complain, and sometimes they'd deliver my paper later in the day, and sometimes they wouldn't. Someone would have to be a really dedicated subscriber to put up with that.
