Newspapers

Sorry, I just had to post this:

A Brief Guide to 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.

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'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 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
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.

They left out my favorite: The Christian Science Monitor. Its read by people who don't have time to read all of the other newspapers!
