>>>small-town Texas newspaper?<<<

To the DC press-corpse, anything outside of DC/NY is Hicksville, USA.

If it's the New York Slimes, the Washington Compost or possibly the LA Slimes, it's some hick rag as far as these people are concerned.

If it isn't the NYTimes, Washington Post, or LA Times, it is small town newspaper in their minds..

"small-town Texas newspaper? It was the Corpus Christi Caller Times, for heaven's sake!"

Let's see. My adoptive hometown is just under 300,000 in population. The Caller Time's circulation area is probably close to 500,000. Small town paper? You be the judge. I don't think so.

As much as I disagree with the CaCa Times editorial board (they can even match the NY Slimes in being gullible for buying every argument a leftist makes). It pissed me off for the likes of the East Coast elite media (IE David Gregory) to single them out as being an outpost for a bunch of Hicks.

Bigger than "small-town". But a Double-A town, nonetheless.

And, when you're in the "big leagues", like the Washington press corps and serve as "a proxy for all Americans"...

The Corpus Christi Caller Times is my favorite newspaper.

[skr]

Personally, I thought choosing the local newspaper was reaching out to the American people. The White House Press Corps certainly doesn't represent us.

Some of these clowns like Gregory probably couldn't secure a job interview with the Corpus Christi Caller Times if they sent a resume. They are perfect left wing looney Democrats and they continue to show how little they are tethered to reality by their adolescent behavior.

The Corpus Christi (pop. 277,454) Caller-Times launched an internet edition in 1995, and in 1997 the Scripps-Howard group assumed ownership from Harte-Hanks. In 1999 the Caller-Times won fifty national, state, and regional awards. It had a daily circulation of 66,000 and a Sunday circulation of 88,000. [most recent circulation figures I found with a quick search].

The Caller-Times is hardly a stand alone, unaffiliated, "local", small-town newspaper. It is part of the Scripps Howard News Service:

Scripps Howard News Service (SHNS) is the nation's second largest supplementary news service. An experienced Washington staff monitors all phases of government and strategically placed photographers cover national and international news reports. The wire service also offers excellent topical, as well as stock, illustrations for editorial use.

As well, Scripps Networks brands include HGTV, Food Network, DIY Network, Fine Living and Great American Country. HGTV reaches about 85 million U.S. television households and Food Network can be seen in about 87 million households. Scripps Networks programming can be seen in 86 countries. Scripps Howard News Service is the exclusive provider of newspaper content for these popular lifestyle networks.

that hideous connie and maury did a side by side eval. of them and the n.y times, they made belittling remarks because they covered human interests stories,recipes,upcoming carnivals etc, and they wonder why nobody reads the MSM papers or watch their weak shows. I hope they are cancelled real soon, the liberals are always looking down on real Americans

385,700 in 2004. Still small potatoes for cosmopolitan sophisticates. "They probably don't even speak French there" - MamaT.

[mad_as_he$$]

Anything West of Virginia is small to the MSM. I usually like Gregory but he has lost me on this one. Drudge says the MSM is going to work this for another week - I hope they do their cred will go down even more. There are WAYYY bigger things going on.

To people like Gregory, anything outside the New York to Washington, DC corridor is hicksville. They might make exceptions for Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco, but that's about it.
