From someone living here a very long time;We once upon a time,in the 1960-90’s,had one elitist paper which shall go unnamed and 2 working class papers,the Post and News. Well,as time went on,the Post became more conservative and held their base which is to say,middle class readers that can read English. The News,suffering from a decline began drifting and eventually became the paper of a few diehards as well as the burgeoning non elitist liberal crowd,the “gimmies”(as opposed to the elitist “givers”). So now we have 2 papers catering to different halves of the same side and one displaying some sanity.
The drift from the paper of my childhood is sad but since the papers are union infested ratholes i’ve decided to not lose any sleep over it.

The News is usually worth reading since it covers some local issues that the Post does not. Then we have bright spots like Errol Louis exposing Sotomayor.

Why everyone feels they must jump on this issue with a strong opinion when we are all still in the dark is beyond me.
