Exactly. It’s an obscene rag. I see the cover every day at 7-11

Good news for a Monday.
That communist rag POS hasn’t been a watchdog over corrupt NYC politicians since Jimmy Breslin left.
“But many observers question how long Koch can remain above the imbroglio. Columnist Jimmy Breslin of The Daily News, who broke the scandal, has drawn parallels to Watergate.”
