Newsday has been a worthless liberal rag for many years now.(Please refer to dismal circulation.)

the biggest mistake for newsday was when the city edition was killed in order to drive the stock price up so that guy, the "cereal killer" he was called, a former boss at kellogs, could make a pile of money, i think.

the post is a loss leader...$50 million a year down a rat hole so rupe can have influence in NY.

anyway, the old tribune bosses never cared about newsday. would have been nice to see zell make something out of that paper.

a question, why is your website so god awful?

Oh dude. Could you have fit more stupidity in less space?

Murdoch is Australian. Limey is a derogatory term for an Englishmen.

Stop illustrating the educational level of the average Newsday-lover.

Boob.

Newsday is an OUT OF TOUCH RAG!! They complain that every working man on Long Island makes too much $$ They create class envy. They cause hate amongst every socio-economic class on Long Island!! Newsday is an elitist/Left wing/socialist/racist/sexist/ RAG

Soon we'll be the United States of Australia.

I know damn well that Murdoch is an Aussie, idiot. Aussies hate being called Limeys, idiot. So keep your stupid trap shut, idiot.

By the way, did I mention you were an idiot?

Ohhhhhhhh. I see. You MEANT to be stupid. Well, that's stupidity of a different order.

If you called ANY Aussie a "limey" he'd laugh in your face for being a brainless dolt (a better synonym for 'idiot'- in case you ever needed another word.)

But since you like public humiliation so much, can you explain how Murdoch is both a communist and a purveyor of right-wing newspapers?

I await illumination Oh-He-of-The-Confused-Insult.

This is by far the most funny thing I have ever read on this board!! Was your intent to have me cracking up out loud?
<quoted text>
As opposed to the run-of-the-mill trash tabloid left-wing leaning rag that it is now?
Hey, I never said it was a GREAT paper. But it's the only paper we got. What else is there seriously? Daily News??? Puhleese. The Post? Don't make me laugh. I guess I'll have to start reading the Suffolk Life.

Perhaps maybe you can explain to me why I'm not allowed to have my own opinion? Why should I waste my time having to explain myself to you when you already have your mind made up about me? As if your opinion meant anything to me, why should mine mean anything to you? My advice to you is to (once again) keep your big trap shut & mind your own business. You spew your stupid bull shit, let me spew mine. Besides, I already think you're an ass hole.
You were explaining to me about explaining to you explaining to me why your brain randomly associates nouns that have no relation to one another. I just found it confusing and hoped it was some form of Eastern poetry or something.

But now I understand that you are a lifetime Newsday reader, and so can hardly be held responsible for either your ideas, your grammar, or your confusion.

Please don't be cross (that means "mad').

And I think your mother is a lovely person and in now wise should be held responsible for inflicting you on the world.

Give her my very best wishes.

Well I'd love to stay up all night & wait for a response from Pubic hair or whatever the heck his name is, but to be honest, It'll probably be a let down anyway. Simple minds spew simple insults & all that...(Not you Sal, you've still got me laughing)

Wait ten minutes or so, Pubic. Once I'm offline, you can attack me all you want.

Hmmm......

Blasting Newsday, yet trolling in their message boards....
Little bit of a hypocrite, you think?

No no! Seriously that was funny! And I would have jumped at that chance myself! Believe me, no offense taken!
