I have “no time to read” articles that have nothing to do with the headline
or require me to flip to pages of advertising to get to the continued section.
But the fact is anything that Little Debbie touches is dogshit, horseshit, pigshit crap, so it doesn’t matter what the reader likes anyway.
Merry Christmas, Debbie Howell.

Debbie Howell says, “Reporters tend to want to write everything they know; I did it myself.”

I say, if she wrote everything she knew, her stories would be zero column inches long.

But to look at the glass half full, the contraction could make The Post crisper, more compact and more readable. A leading reason for canceling subscriptions is “no time to read.”

What are the odds that the readers are actually telling the Post, “Too many of your articles aren’t worth my time?”

It’s the quality, not the quantity.

Narratives, fiction writing…remember Maureen Down way back in
the 2000 presidential campaign. She made of habit of spreading
all the lie’s about Gore & the color of his cloths, inventing the internet
etc. You can get away with that stuff when you look as good
as she does. Nice red hair, lots of meds. She related getting a wink
from Bush after the election at a dinner for something. We know that wink from the president she helped elect was a “thankyoumuch”
for dong her little bit and not for the reason she related in the
column…and she will get away with it and I hope she takes it easy
with whatever she is taking.

Reporters tend to want to write everything they know; I did it myself. ~ D. Howell

Hence her short career as a reporter.

Insulting your readers by telling them that they can only digest news in tiny bits…

L’il Debbie promotes her “Snack-cake” theory of news consumption.

?Que…?

…as when MSNBC’s Flavia Colgan repeatedly suggests that Hillary Clinton will have an “authenticity” problem because she used to wear what Colgan describes as “Coke-bottle glasses.”

Tiger Woods had laser eye surgery a few years back. Clearly an “authenticity” problem. Kobe had knee surgery last summer, which shoots the hell out of his “authenticity”, never mind he’s the smoothest of the smooth under the basket and can still nail you for 50 points when your back is turned. Bah!

I like the phrase [Froomkin?] “the people formerly known as the audience.”

Merry Christmas/Holiday to you.

hmm as a person who reads newspapers and blogs-i.e.-i have no life lol, it appears to me that the MSM is irate that people dare to read the alternate media that gives us much more in-depth reporting at least imho. and forget info on tv news! i for one am glad we have choices. and bushco will never learn as most bullyboys refuse to believe they are right always. btw – merry xmas, happy kwaanza and happy new year to one and all!!

Hi Christy–

All the little ones are here, making for a very happy Mommy :)

It’s a bit…noisy. Cluttered. Chaotic. Demanding. Did I happen to mention they are all strong-willed and have lots of interests and enthusiasms? This is good for them, good for the world, and less than optimal for a tidy house.

But priorities, really, the kids have always been first.

I loved your story about the Peanut helping with the baking.
