90% of it. Disgraceful. Been the same for many years now. Sport and General news

The time has come that I will never purchase a publication again and I urge others to follow and make a stand. We are the laughing stock of the nation.

Overloaded, it is not realistic...

Write a letter, urge your friends to do the same, but if you thought that the hundred or so posters that read your comment here boycotting their paper will achieve anything, you have rocks in your head...

Hasn't got a great rep around but will be interesting to see if they retract the Demetriou quote?

Stopped buying the SM 2 weeks after they changed the sports section. Only buy the Addy Monday and Friday for the sports lift out.

Sadly I reckon they're quite influential papers, which run biased campaigns to suit their agenda(s)

Most of that particular article is spot on, but there's plenty of other reasons to boycott it.

I'm genuinely surprised that the Adelaide print media still has any sort of readership. Suppose when the pensioners and people who cant use online sources start to die off, then there wont be any market for it.
