And no "fake" news. Ever see a negative article in the driving section about cars? The newspapers don't want to tick off their biggest advertisers so the driving section is nothing but one big advertising campaign for auto dealers.

With my trusted sources online, I get the real info.
Depends on the paper. I really don't see that happening. I use it as a start, an overview. What I like about having a "real" paper is that quite often I get exposed to subjects that I did not include in my predefined categories of interest, as you have it in RSS feeds. This broadens your horizons, there is no way to think of everything ahead of time --- or your RSS feeds would become un-manageable, anyway.

Thoughtful letters from readers or editorial discussions a bonus, too.
