Daily Sentinel

I have always enjoyed the ritual of going out my front door in the morning and locating my newspaper. I liked looking around for it if it wasn’t on the driveway: in a bush, maybe under the car, kinda fun! So it took a little time for me to get used to my online newspaper. Going online was forced on me because of a carrier shortage. I thought I’d switch back later. But after some time I realized an online newspaper was alright. I am an online Daily Sentinel customer. Thank you!

I have subscribed to the Daily Sentinel for over 20 years. I love to read the paper when I get up at 5 am every morning. Trouble was I had to trek down my 1/4 mile driveway to retrieve the paper and sometimes it was not there. Now all I have to do is open the app and read the exact same paper. Also, I can print or email some articles right on my IPad. Also, the only way you can read the Mon and Tue editions is online. The app works great. Early on it seemed that I had to enter my password every time I read the paper but not any more.

I’ve always felt the Sentinal writers were very biased. I.E. back in the early 80s when they published an article about how GJ was planning to allow a new strip Club bar and/or gay club, I was upset. Not about the article but that the city would even consider such trash in a place to which I had recently moved. So I decided to write a letter to the Editor which stated, in a nutshell, that I was insensced that GJ could even consider such filth, but that it really did not matter much what I thought, but only what God thought. I posted several Scriptures in opposition to such lewd activities and abominations. I sent it to the Sentinel. When published, I was VERY upset. They did publish my article; however they took out all my Scripture references and twisted what I had said. Upset I phoned the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel and demanded to speak with the editor, who told me that as the publishers of the paper they had the “right” to publish anything they wanted and there was “nothing” I could do about it. Well, you can imagine how upset I was. I swore I would never send in another letter to the editor, and I have not. I even canceled it foe awhile, and if it weren’t for the free coupons offered in Sunday papers and obituaries, I would have never spent another “red” cent on that leftist paper. However, I played the little games they offered back then (where they hired people to call and bug you every mo or so soliciting you to order their paper). I would get a really good rate if I would cancel for a mo or 2 then they would have offers do low I couldn’t refuse. Like I said, other than their most biased articles, they did have some good articles occasionally and the funny papers and community events and obituaries written by others. Oh yeh, obituaries reminds me of the highway robbery they charge when it comes to trying to honor a loved one. I think my hubby and I spent about $180 for my mother-in-law’s obituary. Delta paper was FREE. GO Delta (my Alma Mater). You see, in Delta most folks still care about “the little things” like love and family and friends. We stick together. God bless and have a great day.
