""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.

FYI and fun.

What a load is being put forth by the Sun's top liars.

[Ptaz]

Just shows there's lots of Liberals in Maryland who are lining their bird's cage.

[jiggyboy]

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

Classic Lib Lie:

If you don't like the real numbers make up new ones.

[pissant]

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

"While total circulation of The Sun is slightly lower, clearly the paper is getting into the hands of more people who are reading it,"

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

"What may be happening is they are leaving free fishwraps"

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.

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.

[Milhous]

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

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?

[TET1968]

They lost the C-Mart account.....it carried them.

[N. Theknow]

What utter Enron type of BS this is. How do these clowns know that more important people have their hands on this stinking fishwrap?

Well, everyone they know reads it. The same people also did not vote for Bush so there must have been some sort of election fraud.

[P-40]

What utter Enron type of BS this is.

Strickly speaking, if it was Enron-type accounting, The Sun would have created a partnership for it to sell papers to when they needed the subscription numbers to go up. :)

[Grampa Dave]

Jim, any comments about the Baltimore Sun?:)

[Vision]

The Examiner isn't helping either

[alarm rider]

The Sun Papers are without a doubt, one of the worst major newspapers in the country.

[Juan Medén]

They have started counting the people who walk by the newsstands on the assumption that they probably take a peek at the headlines as they go.
