We've always gotten the Post. It irritates me because it's the hometown paper that hates NYC. And i know New Yorkers who rely upon it as their news source. And THAT really drives me crazy. Still, we will always get it. Great objective assessment.

When I was head of the school board at Rodeph Sholom, the nursery school decided that it wouldn't celebrate Mothers Day in school because some kids, including kids with two dads, didn't have a mother. The Post got ahold of that and its front page headline was SCHOOL CANCELS MOTHERS DAY. The rabbi at the time wanted to respond forcefully to The Post but I convinced him not to because it would have just prolonged the story and you never fight The Post.

I think the big problem the Daily News has is that you buy the tabloids for edgy, bad-taste attitude (I still remember, ten years on, its DIARRHEA OF A MADMAN wood) but it's hard to do that from the Generic Democrat perspective without looking, erm, "cringe." Jimmy Kimmel liberalism is very much not in vogue right now.
