From my friend Kathryn Harper: An Easy Guide to Keeping American Newspaper Reading in Perspective: 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 dont 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 wouldnt mind running the country, if they could find the time -- and if they didnt have to leave Southern California to do it. 6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country. 7. The New York Daily News is read by people who arent too sure whos running the country and dont really care as long as they can get a seat on the train. 8. The New York Post is read by people who dont care who is 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 arent sure if 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 gay, disabled, minority, feminist, atheists who also happen to be 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 supermarket. 12. The Key West Citizen is read by people who have recently caught a fish and need something to wrap it in. 13. The Honolulu StarAdvertiser is read by people who have no other reading options.
