Demographics of American newspapers

1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.

2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.

3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the
Country and who are very good at crossword puzzles.

4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country
But don't really understand The New York Times. They do, however, like
Their statistics shown in pie charts.

5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the
Country -- if they could find the time -- and if they didn't have to
Leave Southern California to do it.

6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the
Country and did a far superior job of it, thank you very much.

7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's
Running the country and don't really care as long as they can get a seat
On the train.

8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who's running the
Country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while
Intoxicated.

9. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country but
Need the baseball scores.

10. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure there
Is a country . . . Or that anyone is running it; but if so, they oppose
All that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders
Are handicapped minority feminist atheist dwarfs who also happen to be
Illegal aliens from any other country or galaxy, provided of course, that
They are not Republicans.

11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the
Grocery store.

12. The Pensacola News Journal is read by people who have recently caught
A fish and need something in which to wrap it.

What about those that read "The Washington Times" and "The Weekly Standard"?
They may be ignorant right-wing clods but they deserve a mention, too, because they make such lovely targets.

I'd edit that slightly:

1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country largely for their own benefit.

2. The Washington Post is read by people who think the country ought to be run for everyone's benefit.

Is that your own writing, Donn, or a copy?
Either way, pretty funny, although I see no mention of "Dallas Morning News", but I ain't surprised!

I read the Baltimore Sunpaper for the comics, I put the rest of the liberal rag in my ferret's litter box.

You Reps are all alike, you can read but you can't comprehend what you read, and you all have cats, er, I mean ferrets!

Ah, too bad!
I was gonna try to talk you into making a book, and we could have split the proceeds.

Most of us Dems don't list as far to port as a few do, Bob.
Like the Reps, a few of us give the rest of us a bad name and scare the hell out of us.
