Is it a Local Weekly Newspaper?

I have a big problem referring to the Call as a newspaper. That’s why I like to refer to them as the weakly newspaper. Who are they kidding? They have a Monday evening deadline and the paper is delivered on Thursday. The supposed news in the paper can be ten days old. That’s not even considering their preference to bring up even older news to run even further into the ground. Then you have to consider they have no respect for journalistic standards whatsoever. This includes no sense of balance or a concern for accuracy. It would better referred to as direct mail or trash.
I also find it a bit humorous that they think their local. They have their newspaper printed in Louisiana, Missouri at a place called Press Journal Printing. This is, of course, to avoid paying for the local, higher union wages in the St. Louis area. Mr. Milligan is only as liberal as your pocketbook extends not his.
