I’ve never bought - or read - a USA TODAY in my life... Guess I’m way ahead of the times.... ;)
I only buy newspapers for the coupons and trash liners. I get my “news” off the net.
And Gannett is headquartered across the Potomac, so it’s not like they didn’t know. ;)
Many hotels give patrons complimentary copies of USA today. Wonder what their sales would be like without those?
It’s USA Toady.
Grampa Dave always insist the hotel deduct the price of the USA Today from his bill when he travels.
I don’t know how USA Today stays in business. Does anyone really buy that rag? The only time I’ve picked one up was when it was laying in front of my hotel room door.
AOL News hasn’t had a single peep either.
(But what do you expect from All the News that’s fit for Yekls?)
Still, if anyone thinks the US media isn’t modeled on Komsomolskaya Pravda . . .

Where march was held
The story was in Sunday’s paper.

the tennessean here in nashville is a joke
the newsroom staff looks like ACORN’s Detroit office meets MOVEON.ORG
If I go to a hotel, I tell them not to send USA Today to my room.
It makes me angry even to see that piece of crap sitting on the floor.
FOX had a segment on that this morning with young Johnathan Krohn (14 yo and future POTUS!). Newspapers aren’t reporting on this is very telling.
I’ve made it a practice to make a point that I don’t want the USA Today on my bill. The usual response is that it’s free. My retort is that USA Today is $1 on my bill. If they want my reservation, remove it.
I am not trying to defend the leftist rag, but they did have some coverage, at least on the internet, “Tens of thousands rally in D.C. against federal spending”. I haven’t bought a USA Today in years, so I have no idea if the story was in a print edition.

If you want to get yourself really worked up read some of the comments following the story.
Sitting here in my DC hotel room this morning and received the Hotel's USA Today newspaper and took a look through the front page section. Guess What! The USA Today didn't even have any story on the Washington Tea Party.
What would I line my rodent cage with? How would I wrap my fish? Where would my puppy relieve itself?
In the future, when booking a hotel room, I’ll ask if USA Today comes with the deal. If the answer is yes, I’ll find another hotel. (I already only stay, if possible, at hotels that carry the Fox News channel!)
