amNY Watch: Obama? Nah, Oh Babies!

A lot of people ask me why I’m so hard on amNewYork. They must think I have a personal grudge against someone there or, perhaps, they slighted me after I applied for a job there. The bottom line is simple: I just think this paper would be better run by a bunch of monkeys. And I can’t think of a better way to sum up why I think this paper is crap than by giving you a collage of the front pages of today’s New York newspapers:

In every other newspaper in New York, news of last night’s primaries is on page 1. In amNewYork, it’s on page 7. Even a bunch of monkeys know that Hillary’s victories last night deserve a front page headline. Heck, even a bunch of newborn triplets could figure that out.

I’d say that I rest my case, but it’s too much fun to stop now.

    You’re totally right, but this is precisely why I LOVE the AM New York! Look at the sheer entertainment value in your blogs alone! (I still can’t believe the number of typos and errors I catch in there daily- yes, I read it daily despite all of this) And I LOVE their Sudoku puzzles- they’re way more challenging than the Metro’s.

    What the hell is Hiliary’s face doing on the Metro cover? It looks like she should be in the Black Hole Sun video.

    Well, triplets are at least still more exciting than John McCain.

    agreed. this is why I ignore the people handing out the amNY every morning and go right to my friendly Metro greeters.
