I feel like a dork - but here it is:
I finally found the unsubscribe button for The Daily. You have to access via the iPad - If you go to the settings application - and select the Store Icon on the far left then view the Apple ID, submit your password, and then SCROLL down to Manage App subscriptions - this is where you unsubscribe.
The major malfunction (for me) was the screen didn't appear with any visual indicator that I could scroll down - I just figured this was all the info I had access to. But scrolling down reveals a bunch of stuff - and of course - the magic to unsubscribe to an truly awful app (great content - but just terrible execution).
/cheers
