The HooK
LAT's Manhattan Project team (or maybe
John Walter) should have a little talk with
Mariane Matera. She just canceled her subscription after taking the newspaper for 37 years. "To compensate for the rising cost of everything, I had to make a budget cut somewhere," she writes. "I need to keep HBO until 'The Sopranos' ends. I didn't want to give up XM radio because I fall asleep to
Alan Colmes on Fox Talk, amazed and comforted that there is actually a smart, funny, liberal talk radio host still alive in America. So the thing I spent the least time with, the newspaper, had to go."
