I get one everyday. Usually the WSJ though occasionally I buy the Post even if it is a glorified tabloid.

None here. Once Houston lost the Post and became a one paper city, the Chronicle really just became an outlet for the AP.

WSJ is good but I don't subscribe.

Never have. Read USA today when traveling but that's it.

I like the WSJ. Had a subscription up through this past year.

Enjoyed getting the San Antonio Express-News while in the area and will get it again if I move back there.

We get one on sunday for the coupons. Wife saves them. rest is a fish wrapper. The ATL paper just sucks so much arse.

I get most of my news from the OT and the interwebs.

The Austin newspaper is a liberal propgandic trash, but I'll still get a Sunday edition most Sundays just because.

I do. I did let my subscription expire to voice my displeasure at the Birmingham News going to three days. I buy the USA Today on off days,but it is really awful. Its just more of a habit than anything.

I read the local at the donut shop some days, but it's not too political.

When on the road I get a USA today and read it occasionally, but it usually just infuriates me.

I buy a Sunday once in a blue moon, but it's usually a waste.

Nope. Don't need it. Our local news here likes to throw a paper in my driveway every Sunday in hopes that I'll start paying for it but not happening.

If it were inexpensive to get the Tuscaloosa News delivered to my door I might consider it.

The Lexington Herald-Leader is a ghost of what it once was. It became super liberal when the McClatchey Company bought it. It nearly died as a result.

However, Lexington is a very blue city in a red state and the paper has managed to hold on. I take it because of the thorough UK coverage. They do an excellent job of reporting on all of the minor sports along with the Big 3.

I'll buy a WSJ copy every so often on the kindle, and will occasionally grab one when travelling.

Nothing else though.

They deliver the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday local papers to my house. This gives me access to the online editions daily.

I actually like to sit down and drink coffee and read the paper at the kitchen table on the weekends when I have time. I don't have time for that stuff during the week, though.
