UPDATE ONCE IN AWHILE
No investigation of Newsom’s spending
Love reading the Bee in the morning. Great Overall coverage.
$500 per year for this online news source no longer fits into my budget. At $12.99 per month I get local, national, and global news from Apple News+. Plus magazines and more.
Banner ads in the print edition were introduced with the latest update. They are a very annoying distraction. Why do we have to put up with banner ads when the newspaper already includes ads?
Very unstable with blank pages not to mention nauseatingly repetitive articles….I expect “news”
