USA Today Ran a Fake News Article

[Airstrip One]

"the only ones that might be worth looking at is NYPOST and WSJ, which coincidently are owned and operated by the Murdochs, says just about all one needs to know about this poster

And coincidentally don't suck.

Wait a minute, front and center, top of the page, right in the middle appears ""ADVERTISEMENT," and you are telling us "no one could tell the difference?"

You must be one of those who actually believe the guy when he proclaims "miracle cure"

It looks like every other news day. It's a day ending in Y.

Right, just like Murdoch's Fox prime time demogogues don't suck, just as I noted, says about all one needs to know about this poster

Ah, no, every other news day doesn't start with "ADVERTISEMENT" front and center

USA Today is just some harmless rag that hotels leave outside your door for free in the morning.
At least they used to.
Haven't seen them for a while.
Thoughtful little gestures are getting more and more rare, aren't they?

They are worlds above Potatohead, Fredo, Jim Acosta's Diary, and the mushtrust at CNN.

Well, it's usually DNC PR feeds so, there is that. But, it is all equally unremarkable.

 

[no worries]

So what you're saying is USA Today has stopped being a newspaper and is now selling above-the-fold space for advertisement? Well I guess it's true the newspaper business is nearly dead.

No newspaper ever stayed in business with just subscription fees, advertisements has always been where the $$$, is.

Remember when cable was ad free?

THAT didn't last long.
