Your Newspaper Reveals Your Place in the Totem Pole
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. Moreover, they do find the NYT crossword puzzles a bit strenuous, so they prefer USA Today's daily trivia questions.
5. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country but need the baseball scores.
6. 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, unless the country will now sponsor free, public saunas.
