Wtf? People still buy newspapers? I didn't even know they were that much. GBlowfish must be the only person keeping the KCStar alive.

The Star is desperately trying to stay alive.


All the newspapers going out of business is probably not a good thing but the world changes.

g- they are mad at you for being able to write better than most of them.

Had nothing better to do than quibble over 10 bucks, huh?

Ever heard of supporting a dying newspaper industry? If you like their product that much maybe 10 bucks shouldn't be that big a deal?

CRANKY OLD FART!!!

Read the Star religiously from 1987-1991 and never paid for it once. Through the week, people would leave copies laying around at UMKC. On the weekend, I was a felon and stole the copies I needed, especially on Sunday. Would never pay for this, or any newspaper.

The articles on kansascity.com are not the same stories as in the daily paper. They are either just the first couple graphs, or entirely different stories. They're not the same thing.

Sundays only here. We get it as part of a subscription to the Liberty Tribune.

I don't have it, but I have seen their app and it is pretty sweet. If you don't have the full subscription you don't get the app. (At least I think that's how it works)

I call ****ing bullshit on never having a land line.

Do they still sell the Star in those old metal machines you would have to drop your quarters in? I always wondered, what would stop someone from only taking one paper?
