The Rochester Democrat & Chronicle......a Gannett owned producer of unreadable sludge
There is a reason why I subscribe to The Washington Times and not The Washington Post.
The NYT's evil twin...The LA Times.
I would rate The Family Circus as Hemingway compared to one of our offerings: "Rose is Rose." But the absolute worst is a one panel comic, "Hazel." It is an abomination. I think it is the comic strip that the TV show may have been based upon, and I don't think the humor or settings have been updated since the TV show aired. You can practically smell the mothballs when you read it.
Do you suppose a "Name a good newspaper" thread would get 124 responses?
"As colorful as USA Today, As moronic as the New York Times"
Absolutely - the St. Louis Post Disgrace is horrible. I happily tell their salespeople I refuse to read the liberal drivel.
I am so enjoying this thread! By the end of your post, I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.
Add the Tulsa Squirrel to the list.........
Don't forget to tip your waiter....
Thanks to all for your participation on this thread. I expected a handful of replies and a couple dozen views. I guess this issue is more important than I imagined.
Thanks to the Powerline Blog for yet another great topic.
And thanks to the Admin Mod for leaving this in News/Activism, even though it belonged in Bloggers/etc. which I realized as soon as I hit the post button.....
If abb hits his ping list with this , watch it really take off...
Cheers,

I didn't read through the entire post yet but I'll add the Pittsburgh Post Gazette to the list of others who agree.
They can't even give it away.
But for sheer ineptitude, the Red Star Tribune DOES rate right up there. Just like Minneapolis is a tawdry imitation of the Big Apple, so the Star-Trib is a shallow epigone of the horrid New York Times. Only it doesn't even do the propaganda well.
And the ink smears all over your butt when you put it to its only valid purpose ...
If I could just get them to stop littering my front steps with their "free" Journal garbage....and I have tried....a lot!
the Strib is also horrendous, and they haven't been capitalizing "God" for a couple of years at least (saw it back home for a visit).
"Allmost forgot that other FL.jewel-the st. pete times."
We gave up the St.Pete Pravda several years ago, and went to the Tampa Tribune which became too hard to take also! Quit it too!
