The values and agenda of the people who work there is more important than the values of their readers.
I would NEVER subscribe to the SLTrib. I don't read it and barely know it even still exists. If some article gets lined on here or somewhere then I read it. But generally, I avoid the Trib. A couple of big turn-offs for me were the Elizabeth Smart mess they made for themselves. Then they endorsed Barry and that finished me and a lot of other people in Utah as ever picking up their paper again. If you insist on doing stupid things, you pay the price.
Sometimes I see a current Trib lying around in places I go. I have often picked it up, found a trash receptacle and thrown it in. Save people from reading their crap.
I know people who subscribe to the Trib. I often ask them why they do it. Especially LDS people. We talk about how much the Trib hates Mormons and BYU and what their values and agenda are and they agree that the Trib hates them as LDS members. Still they keep on subscribing and reading the rotten rag. I don't get it.
But people are obviously dropping the SLTrib since their readers are declining. Most people don't want to read their crap.
