Does this include the free copies the Boston Globe sends to my town every Sunday?

[deport]

Are you saying Bush's approval numbers are up?

[kublia khan]

A local Liberal organization sent me one of those nice return envelopes a few years back. I tapped it to a shoebox with a plastic bag full of cow sh** inside. I guess they didn't appreciate it coming back to them that way. The "incident" was reported in the local news. I thought it was pretty dam* funny.

1. USA Today, 2,296,335, down 0.59 percent

Thank God for Holiday Inns and Motel 6es, eh USAToday?

[proud American in Canada]

That's really poor performance considering the nation wide advertising blitz especially on cable TVYep. I saw one on CNN -- "aerobics for the brain" or some such gobbledygook. LOL!

[Radix]

They must think that the people who respond to their skewered polls actually read their skewered news too.

Loosing share? TRY THE TRUTH !

[cowtowney]

Anyone know where you can get a more complete list?

[N. Theknow]

I cannot conceive of better news than this. I hope they starve to death, and I hope their KIDS starve to death.

Roe v. Wade has prevented this from happening.

[cowtowney]

The Dallas Morning News is not even in the top 20 papers in the country?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha...nice job Robert

[TASMANIANRED]

They don't have kids, they have all been aborted.

[TheForceOfOne]

Not good.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Not surprised about the Chicago Tribune making the Top 10 on this list. I cancelled our subscription after it got bought out by the same company that publishes the LA Slimes.

[hsalaw]

BWAHAHAHAH! Too bad I don't have access to that sort of material. I live in the city. Well, maybe I could follow one of the dog walkers around, and ask for the droppings.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

LOL - ya gotta love it! Poor kid... trying to make a buck anyway he can.

[Prost1]

It looks like the San Jose Mercury News is so small it did not make the list....

Both SJMN and the Chronicle remind me of the slow demise of the Oakland Tribune....

The paper preached to the choir but the choir was mostly unemployed, illiterate and could not afford the paper...

[Las Vegas Dave]

18. The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, 339,055, down 4.46 percent !!!
