Who Reads What 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.

4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the
country but don't really understand the Washington Post. They
do, however, like their statistics shown in pie chart format.

5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind
running the country, if they could spare the time, and if
they didn't have to leave LA to do it.

6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to
run the country and they did a far superior job of it, thank
you very much.

7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too
sure who's 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's
running the country, as long as they do something really
scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.

9. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't
sure there is a country or that anyone is running it; but
whoever it is, they oppose all that they stand for. There are
occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority
feminist atheist dwarfs who suck dick, who also happen to be
illegal aliens from ANY country or galaxy as long as they are
democrats.

10. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another
country but need the baseball scores.

11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at
the grocery store.

4. LOL! Love it.
I read The NYT and The Guardian, but I must confess, I read the Times more for the arts, book reviews and crossword puzzle.

9. Arts, crosswords and book reviews are important things. No one
could fault you for using the Times for that.

6. I read my local paper for local news and the editorial pages
in order to send in letters refuting the lies. Other than that, I read The Nation. I get too mad to read too much propaganda or to read stories framed by republican talking points.
