Boycott the USA Today Newspaper
USA TODAY NEWSPAPER | September 14, 2009 | self

Posted on 09/14/2009 7:08:12 AM PDT by ncfool

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.

Can you imagine that! No story.

The Newspaper media is wondering why their readership is declining its obivious that they are the Obama Media department and they work for the Democratic party. Can you imagine that 1,500,000 people attended a rally in DC to wake up the politicians and they USA Today doesn't cover it.

I guess we have the Axelrod controlled media.

So today I will stop reading the USA Today when traveling at hotels.

Maybe we need to show the USA Today some pictures of the event. I bet there are some Freepers here who can show them that there were at least 50 or 60 of us that showed up in DC.

I used to be a subscriber of the Kansas City Star (Falling Star)newspaper but dropped my 25 year subscription last October 1st, 2008.

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. ;)

I think the USA Today reporter was in Minneapolis at the Target Center....covering the PUSH IT DOWN YOUR THROAT Healthcare speech.

Many hotels give patrons complimentary copies of USA today. Wonder what their sales would be like without those?

I'm sure USA Today provided plenty of coverage of the Million Ten Thousand Man March.

Start requesting the WSJ when you check in. Some better hotels offer both.

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 . . .

USA Today is garbage. I would nver buy it. Hotels have it but I throw them away when they put them under the door. It is propaganda targeting morons.

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.
