Here's an interesting slant on USA Today. I have a conservative buddy that used to work for USA Today (he left a while ago, but that is another story) My buddy says that the majority of USA Today's readership are, and I'll use his words, "White, gun-toting, Republican, businessmen." A good chunk of the readership are business men that are traveling. The only time I would look at a USA Today was when it was delivered to my hotel room door for free. I certainly won't pay to read it. Last year, when I was traveling extensively for work, I started asking hotels for an alternate news paper when I checked-in. Believe it or not, hotels are very accomodating to this request. If my friend's statement is true about the readership, it would only take a year or two to put USA Today under, or make it into a more conservative paper. That's if people stopped reading USA Today when they traveled, and requested other papers. Just a thought.
