I don't live anywhere near New York, but I read articles concerning the lay-offs...It's happening almost everywhere - - the Chicago Trib is only a hollow shell of its former self; the Ann Arbor News ceased to be a good paper about 15 years ago - - it's worthless now, except for the coupons. The only papers which are hanging in there - - perhaps even thriving somewhat, now, are the NY Times the WS Journal, and the Washington Post...Sad to contemplate, but at least we have those. McClatchy and USA Today still manage some good work, but they're hardly in the league of the ones above-listed.<br /><br />Daily News might hate the Yanks, but I don't hate them, All-Caps; Post mostly does hate the Yanks, and I return the sentiment toward them.

PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF THE WORK AND STRIFE OF POSTING THE COVERS RACE.<br />DAILY NEWS HATES THE YANKEES, PLAIN AND SIMPLE....... 75% OF THE YANKEE COVERS, MOST OF THE TIME, ARE NEGATIVE, AND OR RIDICULING, OUR TEAM. (SOUND FAMILIAR)?....ONLY IN THE OTHER CASE I'M REFERRING TO, IT'S 100%, WITHOUT FAIL.<br /><br />THE POST HATES US TOO, BUT NOT TO THE DEGREE OF THE DAILY NEWS....<br /><br />BOTH PAPERS ADORE THE METS OVER US.<br /><br />IF THE METS WERE PLAYING A LOUSY .500 BALL, THEY WOULD BLOW US AWAY IN COVERS, BELIEVE ME..... BUT THEY REALLY CAN'T LEGITIMIZE GIVING PRESS TO A TEAM THAT'S 5 GAMES UNDER .500 RIGHT NOW......<br /><br />IF THEY GET TO .500 BALL..... WATCH.<br /><br />BETTER YET, DON'T WATCH..... YOUR TIME IS WORTH MORE! <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
