For one thing, the rabid left-wing bias of the Chronicle, which is mirrored by so many other papers across the country (The NY Times, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Philadelphia Inquirer, Washington Post, Miami Herald, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Boston Globe, etc. Need I go on?) has simnply turned many people off. I have come close on more than one occasion to canceling my subscription to my local newspaper, and if my oldest son wasn't so addicted to reading the sports section every morning, I probably would have. People are just getting sick of the transparent bias, I think.......

A local car wash gives piles of this paper away daily -- a means by which the SFComical keeps circulation numbers higher than they have any right to be. More an more refuse the "gift". The trash cans are full. Locally, I’ve seen signs of growing trouble for years.
