You would have to be a FKN idiot to subscribe to the nonsense that is now posted/printed in the cairns post. 20 years ago it was a good regional paper, now it's a mouth piece for the real estate industry.

I find much more comprehensive news online. Television news is disappointing as it only provides tiny little sound bites and the TV presenters all sound like they have a lump of sputum stuck in their throats and a bad case of catarrh when they talk. Clear your throats out girls, and blow those noses, and maybe you might sound more pleasant!

This is because Google refuse to return search results on paid content. So then they will never ever be on Google results if searchers never get to read anything,. So I think they compromise and allow some to be read if accessed by Google search. <br /><br />I also find many Murdoch article paywalled are the same article on news.com.au for free anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-26845581283663512852016-11-30T13:41:45.473+10:002016-11-30T13:41:45.473+10:00I bit the bullet and paid for a subscription, with...I bit the bullet and paid for a subscription, with weekend delivery of Weekend Post and Sunday Mail, only to have my subscription fully refunded a week later because delivery promise couldn't be met!

I don't read the cairns post anymore, as you state it's filled with real estate stories masquerading as news and current affairs. The Murdoch press has done this with all its top shelf papers and now it's happening with the local rags. Rupert wants to have all subscribers using tablets not paper. That is his plan.

As someone who never listens to or reads commercial tv or news papers I am pretty satisfied that my information I get is news and not gossip, rumours, celebrity worship or stories that are in fact paid advertisments made out to be news.
