Can anyone find a copy of this wrap ad that the Post had no problem running last fall? Would love to see it. thehill.com/media/514849... - ThreadSky

Wow!! These guys sure like breaking things.

I cancelled my subscription last year. Their motto of “Democracy Dies in Darkness” became a lie. It’s about the money and I won’t give them any of mine.

So the paper's ads are worth nothing if no one reads it, visits their website or social media accounts, views anything they post to YouTube.
