USA Today is written like a Communist propaganda cartoon. It contains little information and what it does have only the sports section is even remotely accurate or timely.
I used to subscribe to several newspapers and magazines. Now, none. There’s just no point to it. I can find all the same info online - for free!

Only after being caught, did McPaper apologize:
Good riddance to bad rubbish. These people are not "journalists." They are spoiled children who deserve to be unemployed.
I've noticed more and more patrons doing the same thing. I suspect Bill Marriott has noticed the trend. It's like a tea party in the lobby only more selective.
How about we get someone in Congress to propose a TAX!
A TAX on NEWSPRINT!
Whereas the production of newspapers causes trees to be cut down, hauled by polluting trucks to polluting paper mills, and hauled from paper mills to publishers and
Whereas the production of newspapers requires toxic ink and solvents and energy wasting machinery and
Whereas the distribution of newspapers requires the use of dirty internal combustion engines and
Whereas a large portion of every landfill is used for discarded newspapers,
Therefore:
Be it resolved that a Newsprint tax, of $1,000.00 per pound, be charged to EVERY newspaper with a daily subscription, within the United States!

We should get some Republican to propose THIS as an amendment to any “cap and trade” or “carbon tax” proposal that comes up!
Maybe we can make it like “Cap and Trade” and use the revenue generated, from this tax on dirty dinosaur newspapers, to subsidize a tax credit for home computers and digital devices?
Or, we could use the money to subsidize talk radio! Well, those guys really don’t need any help!
When I went to San Diego this summer, the hotel left a USA today at the door each morning; all I did was throw it away. I would have done the same had it been the local paper. I had my laptop and iphone, so why would I want to read a newspaper?
You can’t give away free government edjamakation now a days.
I’d live in a van down by the river before I’d live in ‘Pubic Housing’.
Government cheese anyone?
NPR has to survive by taxing people that won’t listen to it.
I don’t see why RINO’s, and non RINO’s( Democrats ) won’t taxpayer fund a ‘national newspaper’, you know, to ‘unite us’.
Thank you for posting. Nothing warms my heart more than reading the continuing, slow, painful demise of the peddlers of printed Communist propaganda.
i haven't been required to travel since 2005 and that was the only time i ever read it... i don't miss the travel or the paper
I travel a lot and I never read them. I just toss them on the bed and leave them. I can’t remember the last time I even opened one up.
Although I am not on the road as in days of yore, I do travel and my Iphone provides a Fox News mobile ap and a Forbes mobile ap. That’s all I need. There is also Free Republic but not yet in a mobile format.
There is a USA ap but who needs or wants it with Fox and Forbes
When I see that on my bill, I will hand the unread papers over to the front desk and tell them to remove the charge. I don't recall having it happen to me. But I don't stay in hotels that much.
“pored over his USA Today for almost an hour as he ate his room-service breakfast”
Slow reader. There’s not that much content in a USA Today paper.
15 minutes TOPS.
Whether these charlatans spread their poison through via dead trees or electronically is not the issue. Sure, I’m glad to see that the lefty newspapers are croaking. But like any other parasite, they’ll simply jump to a new host — in this case, the internet. The object should not be to chase them away, but to eradicate them and their contagion.
I always asked that the cost of the USA Today be deducted from my bill. 9 times out of ten, they’d do it.
The employment fear is the way it works of course in many, probably most, organizations, including our political parties, but it is the psychologically control-obsessed, ala Nancy Pelosi, leftist judges, and now our Congress, the Nanny Factor, who perpetrate the ugliest imposition on individual spirit.
It is amazing, absolutely graphic, how this psychology has changed from decades ago in the US where the MO was generally to encourage others in individual initiative and dignity. The current generation has no idea.
Lawyers, citizen demoralization, and possibly overpopulation methinks.

This is all baloney - marketing a lefty newspaper to businesspeople is like trying to sell cat food to parakeets.
