RuntheDamnBall Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Un-effing real. Today's New York Post's page 2 headline is: "Bill Snares Osama Guy" -- first sentence: "Former President Bill Clinton helped his wife, Hillary, secrue a key endorsement from an African-American leader who was being courted by Illinois Sen. Barack OBAMA." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 I'm not laughing at the content of the story. I'm laughing at the Post. What a useless fish-wrap... It says more about the people who would read it (because it costs a quarter) then it does about the paper, I'll have to buy that. It's good for washing windows and studying bad examples of Photoshop design, and not much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 The New York Post: keeping the homeless warm and dry since 1801. Ironic, since I'll bet the Post doesn't even admit a homeless problem in NYC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yet, as Tom Wolfe correctly observed, if there's a NYT or NYP lying freely on a subway seat (or other places), most people will gravitate to the Post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungee Jumper Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yet, as Tom Wolfe correctly observed, if there's a NYT or NYP lying freely on a subway seat (or other places), most people will gravitate to the Post. That's because the Times' motto may as well be "We're better than you," and as I know firsthand, no one likes an elitist. But the Post, on the other hand, may as well have the motto "You're better than us," and while no one likes an elitist, everyone wants to be one.

Youre scaring me now. On the topic at hand, the Post is mostly a fish wrap, yes. But as others have stated, they "know" it. Its the "honesty" thing that makes the paper appealing.
