The World recently decided to charge for reading their articles online. So sad! Even when it was…read morefree, their ads would blow up my browser and force me to reboot the computer. Why on earth would I pay them good money to do that kind of bad stuff to me? Losing eyeballs by charging will cost The World money. You see, those ads need eyeballs and fewer eyeballs means lesser ad revenue. We already have seen the South Coast Shopper take a huge chunk out of The World's classified ad revenue over the years with their free paper model based on having the advertisers pay. I'm not up for paying cash for ads I can get everywhere, anywhere and elsewhere for free...LOL! I'll stick to reading the free papers and listening to the local gossip. We don't need no stinkin' badges, er, overpriced fishwrap!

If you are looking for unbiased, accurate reporting, look elsewhere…read more This periodical has a decided bent and it is not toward sharing facts in a neutral manner. Skewed to the right, it reenforces division within the already divided community in sometimes subtle, but usually not, words, articles, ads, and images woven throughout its pages. I am a fan of independent journalism. I want to see newspapers thrive in these times. Too many people are relying upon information from suspect web-based sources and it shows. But I expect quality, fair, accurate reporting, and inclusive practices before I direct my monies toward any newspaper. I appreciate the coverage of local events within these pages, but there seems to be a bias in what, and how, even those are covered. At $54 a month, this not-even-daily, is not forward focused enough for our changing times. The old guard is anxious and this paper feeds that anxiety with thin, old school coverage. While not as hysterical and blatantly angry as the Beacon, Roseburg's other source for "news," those in charge here might benefit from going back to school to revisit the basics of impartial journalism. Too bad, because a couple of the reporters show real promise.

These people saved me from going to prison. It's a long story, a very long story. But the first…read moreattorney I had, supposedly the #1 defense attorney where I live, promised me all kinds of things. He knew I was innocent, it was incredibly obvious. There were some real contradictory things in the police report that frankly were clearly lies to anyone who read it. The attorney said, "This is totally bogus, one of the worst I've ever seen" and "I know the DA and these people, I can have this straightened out right away" and "I've worked with these people for over 15 years, I assure you I'm going right over there and get this stopped". And so of course you have to pay them up front which I did, many 1000's of dollars. And then guess what the attorney did? Nothing. He never did any of the things he said he would. So I called US Observer because a friend of mine swore they'd helped him. And before I ever said much, the head man Ed Snook said, "Let me tell you what that attorney told you", and he proceeded to say everything, almost word for word, that the attorney had told me. It was the attorneys sales pitch. And Ed told me every word out of that attorney's mouth was a lie. And it was, Ed was proven 100% correct. So at that time US Observer had a real warrior of justice working with them, an attorney named James Leuenberger. Sadly Jim has since passed away. But he actually helped me. Without going to trial I went from facing a Measure 11 crime in Oregon with a 70 month mandatory minimum prison sentence to $100 fine and 18 months probation. I didn't even have community service or anything. Then after 3 years I had a "set aside" where the record was expunged. To quote the judge in the "set aside" order, "It is as if this never happened. You may legally say all this never happened, even if asked in a court of law". Everything was gone, all the records of all the hearings, my background check is blank, nothing there. Kinda amazing that occasionally there is some justice, even though I had to take the plea offer for something I factually did not do. I was told the result was nothing short of miraculous from a private investigator, by two journalists, and by my estate attorney. They all used the same word, miraculous. Without the attorney that US Observer helped me get, and without their behind the scenes actions, I might still be in prison to this day. While I was in Grants Pass working with these people, who I count as my friends, I saw an incredible work ethic. They're hard working people that really believe in what they're doing. They are not "Hired Guns", they don't publish just anything people tell them to publish. They ONLY take cases from people who after an extensive investigation are shown to be innocent. They review all the discovery as provided by the DA to the defense, and interview you extensively. They knew more about all the details of my case than even my good attorney knew. We didn't have to go to trial but they started preparing me for that. The strategies of how to win are extensive. The psychology of how to win in a jury trial are also amazing, there is a lot to it, there is tons to know. And these people are experts at this, much more so than even the good attorney. While I was there I got a chance to talk to one of their clients who they also saved, she's one of the success stories on their website. Her story was incredible, a story of a terribly corrupt system of justice. And the end of her story she said, "They saved me", meaning US Observer. They are the real deal. They have factually helped many, many people and continue to do so to this day. Unlike the Innocence Project that helps you AFTER you're convicted and then usually only with DNA evidence, these good people help you to avoid the conviction to begin with.

The Register Guard's website advertises a digital subscription for 6 months for $1. There was a…read morespecific article I wanted to read and reasoned that a newspaper costs more than $1 now, so the 6 month subscription was worth it to read the article. When I got to the end of the process to sign up for the subscription (after entering payment information) a thank you message popped up and showed that I was being billed for a one-year subscription for $39. It's a bait and switch scam. It was a weekend, so there was no way to address it with them since they don't allow cancellations via your online account and there is nobody to contact on the weekend. There was immediately a pending charge for $39 on my bank account, though. I called Monday morning and spoke with someone about it. I was told that the subscription was cancelled and that I had been refunded. The pending charge was not stopped and went through the next morning. So, I waisted my time calling them yet again because they wouldn't address anything via email. The associate that answered this time stated that a refund was in process and would take 6-7 business days to process. It took less than 48 hours to overcharge me by $38, but it will take a week to refund it? The Register Guard used to be a local paper that was respected by locals. Now it's owned by Gannett, a huge news organization and it really shows. Their call center is clearly not local and the local stories and local sports articles are rarely up-to-date. It's truly not worth subscribing and the organization is most definitely not trustworthy. It's a sad state of affairs and they won't be getting my business after this most recent scam.
