<p>I copied this from someone’s personal blog:</p>
<p>The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.
The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.
The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country and who are very good at crossword puzzles.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The New York Post is read by people who don’t care who is running the country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.
The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country but need the baseball scores.
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.
The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.</p>

<p>And the Seattle Times is written by people who are pretty sure that Seattle is the best city in the US and could care less about easterners and read mostly by people who agree with them, while the Seattle P-I is written by frustrated liberals and read by even more frustrated liberals. Neither paper, of course, would ever say anything negative about either Boeing or Microsoft.</p>
<p>I am sitting here laughing out loud, nooding my head in agreement and getting strange looks from the dog.</p>
<p>I possess a number of these traits as I skim the WSJ everyday, read the majority of my news from the time, can always pick up a copy of the daily news or the post left behind on the train, and yes, I do read the enquirer while waiting in line at the supermarket. However my soul could easily commune with the LA Times people.</p>
<p>…and the Colorado Springs Gazette is read by people who believe that God could run the country, if we could only get rid of the liberals in Congress and the Supreme Court.</p>
<p>…parents who think that their kids can run the country, just as soon as they learn to get their minds in gear before 10:00, figure out that food and clean clothes don’t just magically appear in the refrigerator and closet, find out that their parents aren’t quite so dumb as they think, and after they find JUST the PERFECT college and grad school and spouse…</p>
<p>As a person who reads many of the papers on this list (on-line) plus several others either way to the right or way to the left and feels increasingly schizophrenic and bewildered by the resultant cognitive dissonance, I found this very funny! Thanks, Momsdream.</p>
<p>The Detroit Free Press and/or Detroit News are read by parrots, canaries and macaws as they casually saunter back and forth on their perches all day.</p>
<p>The Indianapolis Star is read at the same time every day, 365 days a year, by people who don’t understand why people would WANT to change their clocks twice a year (we don’t, obviously, change our clocks here in Indiana).</p>
<p>And I have to laugh - I subscribe to the Sunday NY Times just for the crossword puzzle!</p>
<p>Reminds me of the slogan for the Florida Institute of Technology student paper–“All the news that’s FIT.” Isn’t there one where it’s “All the news that fits”?</p>
<p>Little Mother: the New York Times slogan is “All the news that’s fit to print.” Our local paper, I believe, must be “All the news that fits, we print!”</p>
<p>Momsdream, thanks for sharing. Not only has this gone to my kids, it has also gone to the journalism teacher :D. Pretty dead on for the “Chron” as we call it.</p>
