The Orlando Sentinel on Thursday September 25th, 2008 flooded Central Florida homeowners driveways with thousands of UNSOLICITED packages of throwaway sales papers promoting circulation for their declining subscribers market.

     In that packet contain a piece promoting a return mailing post card opening to thousands of would be thieves of credit card information so blatantly displayed for ANYONE to obtain an individual credit card information.   It was a totally irresponsible piece of the newspaper's lack of concern for their subscribers by this left leaning news media.    This is typical of a "dying news media"!

    For those who participated in updating your Orland Sentinel home delivery by this means just look below at the exposure you gave the prying public to gain your credit card information.   This insertion into that driveway thrown promotional piece is shown in full context below.   It is totally astonishing that such a means to try to increase circulation would be made in this way.

Yes --- it IS BOLDER !

VERY stimulating -- for credit card thieves !   

A POSTAGE PAID return "open face" postcard !

A publication of a totally IRRESPONSIBLE SOLICITATION mailing piece !

    This open face postage paid postcard contains ALL the information needed for credit card thief by displaying not only your credit card number, but the expiration date, and a copy of your signature.    Just how more brazen could it be?   Why don't you just attach your credit card to the postcard?   The postcard won't cost you even a penny to merely drop it in the mail box of your choice.

    Another fallacy of this driveway drop-off piece was the fact that this Orlando Sentinel delivery was nothing more than a "sales" piece of junk type mail.   There was absolutely NO NEWS CONTENT to this neighborhood driveway cluttering piece of sales material.   The Sentinel must have permits for such actions in some, or even most of Central Florida's cities.    Check with your city to see if they were issued PRIOR permits for delivery of such driveway junk.   If not -- have your city issue citations for such actions.    This is NOT the first time!

    It must be also pointed out that just a few weeks ago the Sentinel raised it's daily publications price to .75 cents per day with also the unbearable new format of reading advertisements upon opening your paper.   The above price offering is LESS than the one issued prior to their raising of prices.   I guess when your distribution is diminishing one has to revert to such policies in hopes to recover the paper' circulation.    They have immensely increased the advertising space now taken up instead of reporting the current news in perspective.   You subscribers -- ask for your discount due!
