They called it a newspaper, and I am sure that was half right. The local tabloid contained an inordinate amount of advertising, and announcements of upcoming events of various nearby organisations, but to call what it featured “news” was greatly exaggerated. Oh, there was that one case, however, when they did report that the Miller’s henhouse was raided by a fox. I guess that could qualify as news.

Sounds like some newspapers I have read. No news, but lots of shocks.
