I could really care less about what's happening in SoCal (eg: recent article about Coronado, CA) or anywhere else outside of the Rancho Cordova area. There is very little local about it now. I might just as well read the Sac Bee as it has more stuff relevant to the Rancho area than the Grapevine plus I can get all the other junk the Grapevine now has in it. Really too bad. I enjoyed reading the local stories about local people and places and especially the local sports. Good bye Grapevine...it was great while it lasted. I will miss you.

How unprofessional is that business? and I will not run my ad with those folks because I'm sure we probably have billing issues too!

I'm disturbed that this publication comes unsolicited to my driveway weekly. I understand that this…read moreis primarily a means for local businesses to advertise and I don't really mind the local human interest stories about local events and people. What disturbs me is the clear and deliberate right wing bias that is interspersed between these other articles. Examples of this are "The Tale of Two Rallies" and "Highway Patrolmen Endorse Sheriff Scott Jones For Congress" from Grapevine Independent, July 1, 2016. The first article presents itself as being a fair comparison of recent Trump and Clinton rallies in Sacramento. It is clearly biased toward Trump. Interestingly, the article focuses on the atmosphere of the rallies and not on the content of the candidate's message (or lack of message). Perhaps more disturbing is the Jones endorsement piece. Look to the bottom of this "article" and you find that the source is the Scott Jones campaign itself. Why is this article not labelled as a political advertisement? Did the Jones campaign pay for this space? Is the Ami Bera campaign going to be offered equal space? I think not. Misrepresenting political propaganda/advertisement as "news" by not clearly indicating this to the reader is a breach of ethics. If the paper offered a forum or editorial page and printed readers responses to their pieces it would at least be a step toward clarifying to the readers what is opinion and what is not. I get the distinct impression that the aim of this publication is to blur those lines and let journalistic ethics be damned!

The issue I looked at had some "local boy makes good" stories on a 4-H event and an entrepeneurial Eagle Scout. The rest of the newspaper is ads and random sections: What's Cook'n with MOM, Kat Makes Cleaning Easy, Events by Tia. Do these columnists really have a following? It is an easy read at only 12 pages.

In addition, the Sacramento Bee charged my credit card over $140 for a 6 month renewal WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION when I still had 6 weeks left on my current subscription! I called them and requested a refund of the $140 and they refused to refund the money. I had to call my credit card company and have them dispute the charge in order to get my money back. In retaliation, the Sac Bee canceled my current subscription one month before it was expired without notice or any refund. I called again and requested that they continue to deliver the paper for the remaining month of my paid subscription. After arguing with them for 25 minutes they agreed to continue delivering the paper until the end of the subscription. Less than 2 weeks later, the Sacramento Bee canceled my paid subscription again. I called and discussed their error with them at length and they begrudgingly agreed to deliver the paper until the end of the paid subscription. I checked my account on their website and noticed they had now changed my subscription expiration date until the following day. I am now expecting to go through the same discussion with the Sacramento Bee again tomorrow. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THIS NEWSPAPER! THE SACRAMENTO BEE IS CORRUPT!
