Newspaper demographics

[Mescalito 19]

This was sent to me by a friend. Those of you in the US will certainly see the connections, those of you in other countries can no doubt come up with some demographics for your own papers. . . . . . .

 

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 Minneapolis Star Tribune (aka Star & Sickle) is read by those who

lament the breakup of the Soviet Union.

 

12. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the

grocery store.

 

13. The Oregonian is read by people who have recently caught a fish

and need something in which to wrap it.

If I was back in Pattaya reading the Bangkok Post every day then I wouldn't give a fuck about the rest of the world or who should be running what country.
