What a snotty and stupid thing to say and pretty obvious from reading her little article that she doesn’t have much of a clue..young people my ass..most of the people I know who get their news from blogs are my age(over 50)..and her mistake right off the bat also is that she reads the newspapers and apparently believes she’s really getting all the real news that way…no wonder she sounds stupid and clueless.
By the way did anyone else read the article about Cheney a week or so ago about how he traveled? He really is insane about privacy it seems as he has a GulfStream trailor inside the airplane he’s on so he can be completely private..WTF..let me repeat that he has an Gulfstream in the aircraft…again, WTF?
If one doesn’t write for a large metropolitan newspaper, blogging is not a luxury.
Yep, that’s me all over, young and bored.
Reading four newspapers? Wouldn’t you recognize the same recycled, content-free AP stories by the second or even third paper without having to read all four?
That’s hard to believe that it takes that much time…unless she’s reading the Lifestyles section of all these papers as well.
one could sumise from her closing comment….about the young–or the bored, that ms. hunter may be, shall we say: the old–and the bitter.
perhaps in her declining state, her reading comprehension skills are no longer what they were…just guessing that the windy city S-T, moonie times, and ny post are particularly demanding.
whatever
Oh, the entitlement! See her run from the flaming dirigible with nary a scratch. She’s busy, what with a column to write, and yet she still plans on criticizing Obama full-time for the S-T.
She’s also married to the publisher.
Who has time to read 4 newspapers?
Snark, but seriously. Have you ever tried to read a newspaper and multitask? The inky hands, the overly huge leaves of paper, the gobs of wasteful advertisements and things falling everywhere. I can blog, eat, read the news, read my e-mail and work at the same time. It’s like magic.
Oh, btw, complaining about all the e-mail you get and have to read is like talking really loud on your cell phone so the world knows someone wants to talk to you. Get over it. We all have cell phones. We all have inboxes.
Anyway I never believe people who talk about reading the paper cover to cover. Who in this world is deeply interested in foreign affairs, the stock market, basketball, comics, childraising, gardenning, celebrities, local news, used cars, the local sales, spring fashions, mergers, the weather in Prague, relationship advice… Seriously. NO ONE reads a whole paper. I read the better part of one on Sunday, the biggest of the week, and that kills about 30 min.
I feel bad for newspaper people. Always having to prove they are relevant. 😉
It is so hard to find actual articles to read for all of the advertising. . .maybe she gets lost in all the sales offered up. . .maybe.
Today it was announced that our largest daily newspaper – Star Tribune – is cutting 145 positions in the next few weeks. Its sad because this is actually a pretty good newspaper. But they are a dying breed and they know it.
