Who Reads the Newspapers (Humor)

The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.

The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.

The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 also happen to be illegal aliens from ANY country or galaxy as long as they are Democrats.

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

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

Just heard this on a radio show this morning; thought it worthy of a Friday chuckle.

Funny.
I have a double mind about newspapers. They have become moronic, yet I just love sitting on my deck with a cup of coffee reading the newspaper. It’s the touching and holding, something very relaxing about that. Since I only pay $4 a month its worth it for the local sports and events. Yea, I know “what a weirdo”.

According to G. K. Chesterton, “Being educated means reading the newspapers. Being properly educated means not believing the newspapers after you have read them.”

What a great commentary on the current group of fish wrappers.

I occasionally get calls trying to get me to take the NY Slimes.

The last time they called, I said I wouldn't take it if they gave it to me for free. When the woman asked why not, I told her the paper wasn't worth the effort to recycle.
