Why don't they hire some cub reporters to go out and report on some real news -- instead of laying them all off so they can keep only those with seniority who never get out of their double-wide LaZy Boys anymore but only rewrite what they get sent over the AP Newswire as "facts."
I'm sure there must be something going on in their communities they can write about. They've probably heard rumors that their newspaper might not be around much longer. That's the problem with these polls; it's a distraction from the fact that they have really nothing to report, no reason for their continued existence but to fabricate the news.
Turn out the lights and save the trees.
I don't understand.
The polls aren't done by newspapers. They're done by professional polling firms, often commissioned by a news outlet.
Why do they do it? Because it's news - obviously, people are interested in this stuff. We're discussing it, aren't we?
