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.

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.

12. And, finally, the country IS run by someone who doesn't read a newspaper at all.
Well, mr. yet, if I did that, I would quickly find myself in a position where I would desperately need your advice. And then you will say to me, "What, are you nuts? Why on earth did you start a newspaper? Of course it is a recipe for immediate bankruptcy. What do you know? Pitbull knowlege isn't a basis to start a newspaper! Ruby, you are a complete idiot with the brains of a dog!

This was not a suggestion that you start one, it was about the old saying quote " One could fill volumes on what the don't report on or say"
Sorry I misunderstood. Never heard that quote before. I am not too smart.
But, now I understand what you are saying. I think that is the biggest problem that we have right now. Selective reporting.
I was flipping through the channels last night and saw a program that was solely dedicated to Anna Nicole Smith's funeral! Okay, it is always sad to hear about someone dying but I can't wrap my head around the fact that everything else in the world is being ignored to report her funeral! We have been barraged with 3 weeks of news about her death and there seems no end in sight! It just blows my mind!
