1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.
2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.
3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country and who are very good at crossword puzzles.
4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't really understand The New York Times. They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie charts.
5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country - if they could find the time -- and if they didn't have to leave Southern California to do it.
6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and did a far superior job of it, thank you very much.
7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's running the country and don't really care as long as they can get a seat on the train.
8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who's running the country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.
9. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country but need the baseball scores.
10. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure there is a country ... or that anyone is running it; but if so, they oppose all that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority feminist atheist dwarfs who also happen to be illegal aliens from any other country or galaxy provided, of course, that they are not Republicans.
11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.
12. The Star Tribune is read to people who 'visualize' that they are running the country.
Got this in an e-mail forward three years ago, but it's still funny.
Ezcellent!
Remember the old acorn about "The Washington Post"?
"If a Post reporter saw Christ walk on the water today, the headline of the story tomorrow would be 'Christ Can't Swim!'"
I really like that one.
And the Washington Times is read by those who don't run the country - but could. (i.e., Freepers)
Unfortunately for the Libs
I would have said,
4. USA Today is read by people on the run, leaving their hotel rooms and headed to the airport where they can appear to care about what is going on. They don't really understand The New York Times. They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie charts.
13. The Chicago Tribune is written by reporters whose fondest dream is to write for the NY Times.
Is it in Indy? IBJ?
My housekeeper was sick, so I went to the grocery store.
Hadn't been there in years.
I was astonished at the checkout stand mags. I had no idea who all those people on the covers were, yet I'm sure they were all icons of our society.
I've turned into a Martian.
Good one....just like Jane Pauley...1st Indy, then Chicago, then NY. (Wonder why Letterman skipped Chicago?)
The New York Post is read by people who don't care who's running the country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.
Well, there is that enjoyable aspect to the Post, but this is a bit dated. The NY Post has evolved. While they still have scandalous drunk news, they also have one of the finest editorial pages in the country, a great sports section, and some of the best front pages ever.
Not that they still aren’t trashy.

I really like that one.
And the subtext would be..."Women and Children Worst Hit"
the Ithaca Journal is read by people who hate the country, unless the country is France.
The Indianapolis Star is read by people who could run the country but are scared to because the city is surrounded by a sea of RED.
The Flagstaff Daily Sun is read by people who like to move their lips.
The Arizona Republic is read by people who like the underwear ads.
