An Open Letter to 'NYP' and 'NYDN'
Hey Kids,
Lately you've both been expending a lot of time and energy denouncing each other. As much as we all love a good feud, this one is becoming drawn out and boring.
On behalf of New York-area newspaper readers, let us say that you're both awful papers, each terrible in your own unique ways. You don't have to fight for our attention, kids: we already despise you.
Posty, your bad Photoshop illustrations and groaning headline puns are painful. And Newsy, your columnists and cultural coverage never fail to fail. We could go on and on about your flaws, beginning with your front pages and working our way through to your sports sections, listing every awkward phrase, ideology driven report, cynical ploy, and useless article, but you already know how we feel. You're both such bad newspapers, and, honestly, there's plenty of suckiness to go around. (Heck, there's even enough for you, New York Sun, if we ever get around to reading you.)
Can't you both just agree that you're each unreadable and undeserving of your rich owners' money—or your readers', for that matter— and be friends? We'll see you at the newsstand tomorrow, okay?
Yours,
Gawker
