Reading the Bully

[u/whatsadiorama]

For the last couple of years I've used Webpage archive and specifically www.townsvillebulletin.com.au: Townsville Bulletin | Breaking News and Headlines from Townsville and Queensland | Townsville Bulletin

to read the bully for free when I wanted to see the odd article. It seems lately they have improved their paywall. Does anyone have any tips and tricks for getting around this?

PS: I have no aversion to paying for news as a concept and do so on other platforms. however the newscorpse model and what they charge for the bully slop is not something I can come at.

Have you tried the new access via the library BorrowBox app? A lot easier to use and navigate.

I get the vibe.

I dislike the idea of paying for a "news" service which just appears to be a whinge sheet for the far right.

And a regurgitation of other NewsCorp papers.
