Crappy News Sources
DISCLAIMER: This is a discussion of news sources only. I will request to have this thread deleted if it devolves into personal attacks or discussion of the "liberal" or "conservative" media bias.
For example, I dislike the New York Post and New York Daily News with a passion. I dislike them not because of what they choose to cover--it's the way they cover events that is tasteless. Plus, the people I see reading them in the subway just look..."intellectually lazy." They figure if they can get their headlines in three-word phrases and in huge font, then they've gotten the news. I don't know who runs the newspapers, but they are very sensationalistic and will get stories half-right if it means a catchy cover.
Do other cities have newspapers that are, basically, localized tabloids? If so, do you read them?
ETA: I know some people read those newspapers' sports pages because they are more comprehensive than the NYT.
