What’s funny is that (the Long Island) Newsday thought it could kill off the NY Post by creating a NY Newsday, the NY Post’s circulation actually grew, forcing NY Newsday to withdraw from NYC again.

What’s LOL funny is that Newsday had Brooklyn and Queens (which are on Long Island, but part of NYC) in its territory BEFORE trying to invade the rest of NYC, but largely retreated from those areas when the NY Post kicked its ass in NYC

What’s ROTFL funny is that Newsday’s circulation has been hurt so bad that it’s owners (Tribune) have had to sell it.

What’s ROTFLPIMP fuuny is that the New York Post’s owner was able to buy Newsday, but has passed on it because it wasn’t worth the money.

If Rupert had a do-over, I bet he wouldn't have bought Dow Jones. I'll bet he's figured out already that there's no way a dead-tree newspaper will ever be a paying proposition any more. He may be able to turn the WSJ into a paying proposition, but it will be a long haul.
