Okay, not really. But check out this correction in today’s New York Times:
An article in Business Day yesterday reported on a growing trend among large newspapers to accept some circulation declines because of the high expense of attracting and keeping new subscribers. The article was illustrated with a photograph of a delivery truck for The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Philadelphia Daily News and a caption that said “Big American newspapers sell about 10 percent fewer copies today than they did in 2000.” The Inquirer’s circulation, like those of other newspapers, has declined from its 2000 levels, but since new owners took over last year, its daily circulation increased almost 7 percent from September 2006 to March 2007, compared with the previous six-month period. The Philadelphia Daily News’ circulation also increased by slightly more than 1 percent in the same period.
Raise your hand if you think Brian Tierney complained to the Times himself. Okay, you can all put them down. But really: Way to run a photo of a newspaper whose circulation was actually up recently, Times! Didn’t you see the “Pigs Fly” supplement?

Ah, but Phillyblog’s circulation has doubled during that time. Take that, Inquirer!
I joined PhillyBlog during that time, just after reading “Fucking Taxpayers for Dummies.” (The book was paid for by taxpayers, of course.)
are any of those taxpayers hot?
I do not know anyone that reads The Philadelphia Inquirer and/or The Philadelphia Daily News.
I know I wouldn’t want to throw away money on crap.
