When I moved to DC in 2010...I found this ‘little’ paper to be mostly worthless, but it did have localized news in the DC area (something that the Washington Post rarely ever covered). As you entered every subway area, there would be some guy to hand it out....free of charge. I seriously doubt that they employed more than twelve journalists, and probably paid the hand-out people $25 each morning to stand there and just give it out.
It was a worthless paper. It was yet another liberal rag spewing out lies to daily riders. It was juvenile and the reporting was awful. The only thing I liked it for was the crossword and maybe every once in awhile they had a good edition that let the readers know of fun upcoming events in the area.
Yep - might as well be reading the LaRouche handouts the commies distribute (at least they did the last time I was in DC some years ago)..they even handed them out to folks on their way into the Pentagon.
