KC Star - renewal
« on: February 09, 2010, 09:12:18 AM »
So my Star subscription has expired and they are calling (constantly) to renew.  I haven't even decided if I should or not.  On the one hand it is the local paper and they have really been sucking up to KSU lately but still, the hiring of Kellis makes me furious.

I willl yield to the board will.  What should I do?

Haven't found much that is in the print version that they don't have online.  It just seems to be a bit harder to locate some of the stories.

Tell them that Kellis has hidden ciphers in his articles that are communicating to communists/Russians. Say that John Nash told you so.


Also tell them to bring back Jeffrey "no kissing, just f_ucking" Martin to remedy the situation.

they came to my door last week and I told them that i woudn't buy because they hired a crappy beat writer named Kellis and the sports was the only section I cared about.  I made the guy make a note of it.
