I usually don't read it. Prefer the Buffalo News.

But I do check the local one online occasionally. Last time I looked, on Monday, it was depressing. Main articles gave good info on covid 19 but letters to the editor were full of RW claims of fake news and complaints about political attacks on Trump, etc. A few posters gave solid, factual info on covid to counter them, but then the RW posters ganged up on them.

Buffalo is very blue, but some places in the region around it definiiely are not.
