both are owned by Murdoch.

The Post is owned by Murdoch. The News is owned by Mort Zuckerman.

sounds a lot like the Post some days though.

With its editorial page, is a legitimate newspaper, unlike the waste of trees rag owned by Murdoch.

I actually cancelled my subscription to the DN cause its feud with DeBlasio got on my nerves. Calling him an ass in the headline really offended me. That said, I've since become quite disillusioned with DeBlasio.

Is it the handling of the Garner death?
Something else?


I assume you don't prefer a Giuliani-type?

Same way with the Washington Times / Washington Post -- as much as I hate the Times I always go to it for city politics coverage.

The cover is here:

It's several still shots from the video of the arrest and murder with the headline "It Was Not A Crime".

had no idea the DN had gotten so expensive. In looking at the Post cover, I also see they say "Just a Buck". No wonder practically nobody reads a hard copy of a paper anymore. If I could just give up the Sunday NY Times, I wouldn't either. Just something about the Sunday Times - spread all over the house - that means Sunday in NY.

But the NYT was a Sunday staple. Parents would argue about who did the crossword puzzle each week. And they always finished it. Dad was faster. Man I miss him.

finished the damn thing every week (which she insisted on using a pen for). Thankfully I now live in my own place and can tackle it (in pencil). I'm missing Dad for different reasons this week - he would have gone down to the city last night and offered to defend anyone getting arrested in those protests. He was a liberal's liberal and taught me everything I know about justice.

Not everyone received such good parenting.

My dad used pen. My mom pencil. I was too intimated by them and have never done any crossword puzzle.

I'm sorry you lost your dad. Sucks! They just don't warn you how difficult it is to lose a parent. My dad too. He wouldn't go on the street to protest, but he would be making speeches and trying to have laws changed. He was a politician.

For our dads

Yup - we were lucky. He once confronted a bunch of protesters outside a family planning clinic (my sister and I were in the car and got to see that) and went back the next day to offer his legal services to the clinic if they ever had to go to court about the protesters. He's gone 2-1/2 years now and politics and sports are not the same anymore. This past election night I picked up the phone and dialed his old phone number (mom has moved since he died), just out of habit. It is incredibly hard to lose a parent who was always there for you, who always make me proud to be his daughter. I'll be sure to add your dad to my prayers (hope that's okay).

I am an atheist but I appreciate the thought.

What a wonderful dad you had.

Sounds like they could have teamed up and taken on the world. Hard not to think the universe is unfair when someone like dick cheney still breathes.

Let's end the drug war period and there won't be a need for all these cops.

does NYC need five or six cops for someone selling loosies? The city doesn't have enough real crime to keep their officers busy? This is insane.

So they barely even try anymore...its all about Drug War dollars, forfeiture, fines an putting minorities in their place.

We're living in an era of privatization. Everything is about money.

Sure ain't Law & Order!

She stands up against nothing. I'm glad I've accepted she is the problem and not the solution and can move on.

City is not making any money so the "evil doer" & his criminal cartel had to taken down.

I wonder how many cops it would require to take down one bankster.

said, "Don't touch me", do you suppose they'd take him down and put him in a choke-hold or use a taser on him?

apprehending people, dragging them through the court system and locking them up is big business and it employees a lot of people in this country.

even if it helps liberals

Just sayin'...

the troll that wants to kill everybody on earth. It is the spiritual leader of all these yellow rags.
