USA Today Newspaper

[Hampsha]

I never hear anyone mentioning this as being either to the left or right. Okay its not mucgh of a paper but it can be found across the nation and on the net and it has been around a couple decades already. What is your opinion on it? Have you ever heard any criticism of it?

I think it belongs to the Gannett group of newspapers which are typically right of center in perspective. Not much substance, not really a serious newspaper.

Fish wrap.

The weather page ain't bad...

I just never hear anything about this paper. Surprising in this day.

You seldom hear Pravda quoted either...

Does it get that much coverage in the states? How about the Christian Science Monitor or VOA?

[FailSafe]

It's basically a 'McNewspaper'- a 'dumbed down' version of the news for people who like their articles short and simple and have no interest is gaining a deeper understanding or delving into the peripheral details of what's happening in the USA or the rest of the world.

The CSM is actually a pretty good news source but a bit dry like the Beeb.

USA Today has besides a good (or used to, haven't seen one in years) weather page, a decent Sports section. Rest of it is definitely worthy of the bottom of your bird cage.

^^Right on the money. It is everywhere in the US, however, but so are dumb people.

I don't mind the sports section. I only read it when I am traveling as it is free in most hotels.

It's a soundbite newspaper. Very short articles, with generalities. Kind of like a comic book (I'm trying to be serious.)

It's shallow and for a quick read. That's the purpose of it, IMO.
