San Francisco Examiner endorses McCain/Palin

[thatsrightimirish]

I know that the Examiner is a shell of its former self but this is ridiculous. Talking about being out of touch with the citizens they serve. Do they think San Francisco is in Idaho?

1. It is a laughing stock barely a newspaper.....more like an advertising insert!

It is probably good that it endorsed McSame/Pain.

I won't even bother to read it, because I'm sure it will be ridiculous......like they are.

The only newspaper left in San Francisco is the S.F. Chronicle.

2. LOL!

That shit paper is still coming out? I live in SF and I didn't even know that rag still existed!

8. Yeah they hand it out for free

at the BART station.

3. They can't give that away free. Don't worry about it.

The only thing I don't understand about the examiner is why anyone still pays money to advertise in it. My street is awash with unopened copies.

5. I'm not worried about it

I am just amazed that a newspaper in SF can endorse a republican ticket and expect any type of readership

[hatrack]

7. So, it's basically the New York Post of the Blue West Coast?

OTOH, if Anschutz or whatever the clown's name is wants to piss away his money, fine.

11. except the post has a good sports section

and the headlines are often pretty funny - the examiner has absolutely no redeeming qualities

[anigbrowl]

14. No, the post has news in it, even if it's highly distorted.

Literally, the Examiner is distributed free. It has 2 pages of local news and 3-4 pages of stuff bought from the wire services, and the rest is advertisements. Hardly anyone actually reads it.

4. True story: My cat "accidentally" used it as a litter box.

I had placed it directly into the pile of recyclables which coincidentally is next to her litter box. She's old, missed, and the rest of history.

I agree with her commentary.

6. They also included

that fucking racist, fearmongering anti-Islam DVD in their coupon section.

What a waste of trees.

9. the only people i know who subscribe to the examiner

need the bags to pick up their dog shit

[spanone]

10. they must have about 20 subscribers with an editor like that in sf

12. They compare John McCain to Harry Truman.

The poor guy must be rolling over in his grave.

13. Weren't McCain and Truman born the same year? nt

15. All of the Bay Area papers are owned by the same people.

16. Speaking as a Californian, the Examiner does not reflect the sentiments of Californians, or San

Francisco. And that's a fact.
