You know how disingenous the New York Post is?
Its covers and editorial pages are always the shrillest, angriest conservative claptrap imaginable. And then you read the LTTE page, and you realize not ONE responding reader actually lives in NYC.

Today, I saw anti-Obama opinions from the New Jersey hinterlands and a Glenn Beck fan living in friggin New Hampshire, but not ONE representative from the Bronx or Brooklyn. Not to say people from those boroughs didn't write in, 'cuz they undoubtedly did--they just didn't conform to Lord Murdoch's political leanings.

So...to make its Letters page coincide with its right wing propaganda, the paper has to cull the opinions of people living far outside of the city MENTIONED IN ITS NAME!

Too pathetic.

1. You gotta given them credit for snappy/funny headlines, though.

2. That's what we need
That's what they do in print and radio. They know how to write those visuals that grab people's attention.
