Shift to the left is wrong direction

I have decided not to renew my subscription. I have subscribed to The Herald for years and enjoyed the local flavor and information. Recently, there has been a shift to the political left. Instead of news I see article after article on marijuana, who got licenses, tax benefits, shop hours and locations. Thursday’s editorial cartoon disparaging FOX News indicates that the future of the paper has been set. I will get the local news for the local weekly which is free and pick up an occasional Sunday Times.
