This from an email to me today. Yes, I know, there is some
sarcasm here. Get over it, that's what a blog is for. You
can comment all you want.
Here's how to keep all that political "news" in perspective... Demographics of American Newspapers
1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.
2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.
3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country and who are very good at crossword puzzles.
4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country
but don't really understand The New York Times. They do, however,
like their statistics shown in pie charts. (there's more)
5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind
running the country -- if they could find the time -- and if they
didn't have to leave Southern California to do it.
6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and did a poor job of it, thank you very much.
7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who is
running the country and don't really care as long as they can get
a seat on the train.
8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who is running
the country as long as they do something really scandalous,
preferably while intoxicated.
9. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country but need the baseball scores.
10. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure
if there is a country or that anyone is running it; but if so,
they oppose all that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if
the leaders are handicapped minority feminist atheist dwarfs who also
happen to be illegal aliens from any other country or galaxy, provided
of course, that they are not Republicans.
11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.
12. The Seattle Times is read by people who have recently caught a fish and need something to wrap it in.
13. The Coalition for a Prosperous America/TradeReform site is
read by people who want to be informed accurately on issues, have it
done in an interesting and entertaining way and want it in plain
English.
