Email of the day

This email landed in my inbox yesterday:
I will be canceling our subscription tomorrow... I can no longer stand the bias in the news pages, let alone the double standards of the editorial pages...

How can this be? Everyone knows that bias has nothing to do with why we're going under and we have more subscribers than anytime in history! WE DID A STUDY!

Wake up 6:44...So what?...This is the tip of the iceberg as for every one that reports why they are canceling there are many others who don't take the time to tell anyone, they just drop their subscription. This is just a symptom of the problem, the ex-reader pointed out the real problem. ...THAT'S WHAT!!!
It's called "The big picture".

"Who cares"?

A lot of people obviously care. If they didn't, the newspaper industry would still be making money.

You've obviously never worked for a newspaper -- circulation, newsroom, advertising, it doesn't matter. People are always canceling their subscription for some reason or other, and telling whoever they know at the paper. If the MW moderator has ever worked at a newspaper, he knows this very well. That's why "Email of the day" is such a stupid headline.

The little “So what” posters are so cute. They can’t wait to post here, sweethearts that they are, and the keeps the hits up. We have to thank the little trolls for that, their tediousness and repetition aside.
