Comments on: The Spring of Smears – Unfortunately, Part 1 http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/5580.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

The NY Post is a Murdoch tabloid ,with all that that implies, but it is a better newspaper in that it doesn't arrogate to itself the right to tell its inferiors(readers) what they should be feeling. It is also quite readable,unlike the Times,which has elevated pretentious and opaque writing to an art form. The NY Sun is another alternative;except for the occasional headline pushing the Global Warming scam it is pretty unbiased.It also has good arts coverage unlike the Times which has no artistic sensibility whatever.The only advantage the NYT has is that the galleries advertise there. As a New Yorker I subscribe to the Post, the Sun, and the WSJ; my wife looks at the Times when neighbors throw it out but, I can't be bothered. The good news is that since 2000 they have lost about a quarter of their NY metropolitan area circulation and that they are going to cut another 100 newsroom jobs, about eight percent. Maybe they end up in the real estate business,renting out all that space in their shiny new headquarters. They have been this vile for quite a while;it's just more obvious here. I'm angry and I don't even like McCain. They really jumped the shark on this one.In NY we have three other papers.
