Worst app ever

Every time I try to use this app I have to sign in. Sometimes, the most recent experience, I tried to sign in to an article about a waterline break and every time I tried to open the article It asked me to sign in again and again and again. It is truly maddening.

Liberal Paper

The SA Express is way too liberal and not fair and balanced. It is strange how this paper always dogs conservatives and rarely writes anything bad about Dems. For example, if you are talking about g about a black person you capitalize the B but you don't do it for whites. Also, you are constantly writing about how ICE picks up totally innocent people. I believe you call them undocumented. What the heck is that? They are illegal but you are afraid to use illegal because it is not politically correct. This paper is anything but fair and balanced.
