The Snooze, aka Dallas Morning News, slouches further on its adhole

 I hadn't popped open a Snooze in a while, but I did a week ago.

Their Thursday exurban edition continues to get worse and worse.

COUNTING obits, just over 3 1/2 pages on a 32-page issue, or 14 percent. Err, my math is bad. That would be just over 10 percent, or else I meant 4 1/2 pages.

NO ads in the front section other than a half-page house. NONE.

They should be pulling a page from Advance and not delivering to stores and racks certain days of the week. If you insist on keeping Mondays so people out in the country can read your necessary Dallas Cowgirls coverage, still, Tuesday and Thursday at a minimum are cuttable outside the core area of Dallas, Ellis, Rockwall, Collin, Denton and Hunt counties.

Three weeks later? Thursday, Nov. 4 after the election? 4 1/2 or so on 34 pages.
