Recently I was in downtown South Bend, Indiana on business and took this picture.
What is USA Today? I have never seen one.
The circulation of USA Today is shown below from an article dated 4/27/09. What they don;t say is what is the PAID circulation.
“MCLEAN, Va., April 27 /PRNewswire/ — USA TODAY remains the top-selling newspaper in the United States, according to the latest Audit Bureau of Circulation report. USA TODAY’s daily circulation was 2,113,725 for the period ending March 31, 2009.
USA TODAY is the only newspaper with more than 2 million in print circulation with a total that’s 24% larger than the Wall Street Journal and is twice as high as the New York Times.
“USA TODAY is proud of our position as the only newspaper in the country with over 2 million in print circulation, selling more than 400,000 copies per day than our nearest competitor the Wall Street Journal,” said Susan Lavington, senior vice president of marketing for USA TODAY. “We credit this success to our unique brand of relevant, ‘What does it mean to me’ journalism that covers the full breadth of our shared American interests.”

Think of all the trees that are wasted as we all throw these out when staying at hotels. Day after day. Where are all the earth huggers on this? /s
Unfortunately it’s one of the few rags with increasing sales, albeit very small.
Even, if I don’t get a small amount deducted for not wanting the USALIES TODAY, our side wins when we say no.
However, it is amazing how many motels and hotels will deduct a charge for refusing USALIES TODAY.
The lamestream media is trying their best to spike this story but they cannot keep 2 million people in DC a secret.
Have any of you noticed that most liberal “newspapers” a shrinking in size? I know for a fact that the “Des Moines Register” has shrunk in width by about 3 inches.
I have been boycotting USA Today since before it started printing, I think.
I was an early adapter.
I’ve been boycotting that rag—and all the rest of them—for years.
Recently I was in downtown South Bend, Indiana on business and took this picture.
Well, I’m sure that they didn’t report anything on the Half-Million Man March, either...right?
I often get it free when I stay in hotels. Then I read the sports page and check out the financial page since I am an active investor. Other than that, I never pay any attention to it. I certainly never pay for the friggin thing.
People still get their news from a wad of paper thrown on their driveways?
Gezzz
I noticed this also. The only reference I could find was in the caption below a Tea Party photo. The photo was included as part of the hit piece on Joe Wilson because someone was holding up a ‘You Lie’ sign.
I don’t know how big this gathering was, but it was big. I wish there was an overhead shot of the mall that could be used for comparison. At a minimum there were hundreds of thousands, and for any ‘newspaper’ to ignore this is irresponsible and unforgivable.
I was in the habit of picking up the weekend edition of USA Today for the sports and entertainment sections, and the Monday edition for the sports results - especially during the football season.
Never again!
Locally, the Red Star Tribune had Obama front page, and a quarter page NYT article - with the same photo as USA Today - buried in the back of the ‘A’ section. Surprisingly the article was opposite a full page of additional coverage on Obama. I’m sure by now the Strib has probably fired whoever it was that placed the Tea Party article where it would be seen by readers of the Obama story.
Canceling this rag too. I only get the Sunday edition and I had already decided to let the subscription expire, but I can’t handle the explicit bias or the bias by omission any longer. (And for those who wonder why I didn’t cancel long ago, it’s tough to kick a 50-year habit!)
