""While total circulation of The Sun is slightly lower, clearly the paper is getting into the hands of more people who are reading it," says Baltimore Sun Vice President of Circulation Louis Maranto. "We believe the improvement reflects the increased volume of state and county news, as well as readers' growing levels of comfort with the redesign we introduced last fall. The growth in readership combined with the slowing of individually paid circulation declines validates our decision to reduce our bulk distribution and focus on getting the paper into the hands of people who are actively seeking it out."
What utter Enron type of BS this is. How do these clowns know that more important people have their hands on this stinking fishwrap?
What may be happening is they are leaving free fishwraps at every doctor/dentist office and law office like the San Francisco Gayrhonicle has been doing for about a year.

Just because more bums are using yesterday's newspapers as blankets doesn't mean they're reading them too.

Readership is up, because they hang the sports page in the public restroom stalls.

What is that line from Spinal Tap? "It's not that our audience is getting smaller, they are getting more selective." Something like that.

Here is the story I tell liberals:
Once upon a time I used the Sun exclusively to line my bird cage. Unfortunately, my bird died because of an intestinal blockage resulting from its refusal to crap on a bigger piece of crap.

There must be a lot bird cages in Maryland.
I know the old fashioned crab houses around the bay use newspapers on their wooden block tables to crack the crabs on. Maybe this is what this liar is talking about getting this ******* into the hands of important readers.

Maybe the Homeless or Housing Deprived Genius are the important people getting their hands on this waste of trees.

This is a way to get the Sun into the hands of the important people.

The question is, how many people read the Baltimore Sun on its website? I hardly buy the paper anyone, since almost everything in the paper is on their website for free.

The Sun celebrating recent circulation declines slowing reminds me of rabid barking moonbats celebrating losing by less in elections.

Amazing aren't they. They got away with this before the internet and Free Republic. They can't any more.

That lie should cost him and his bird diaper of a biased "News"paper a ton in advertiser law suits.
"newspaper readership by asking market adults "Did you read The Sun in the last week?" -- shows a gain of approximately 100,000 in the paper's weekly readership since the last time the survey was conducted in October 2005.
"While total circulation of The Sun is slightly lower, clearly the paper is getting into the hands of more people who are reading it," says Baltimore Sun Vice President of Circulation Louis Maranto."
Or could it be that because of single summer event like the Preakness, 25,000 families of four who were using the rag for puppy papers actually read the lifestyle section on one singular weekend?

I keep wondering when Fox decides to run a sit com based on the dinosaur fishwraps and the mediots who work for the dinosaur fishwrap.
This news item would be good for at least one or two shows.

I think that we will see hundreds of class action lawsuits across the nation against the publishers/owners/editors of fishwrap for fraud re their circulation numbers.
The corporate culture of the Dinosaur fishwraps is base on lying. If they print their lies and sell them as news, one can only imagine what they do with their paid circulation numbers.
