Let''s
face it everyone--The New York Post sucks! Sleazy and slimy from the first page to the last, it twists and sensationalizes serious news stories about crime, murder and misfortune. What scum! The headlines of the The New York Post will stick to a particular ghoulish story for days, lord, even weeks, before they switch to another tacky media event and horror. Page Six is simply stupid: who cares about whacked out, boozed up, skanky stars whose noses are bleeding from coccaine. Most are half rate talents anyway, like the idiots who write the
articles for The New York Post.
Sometimes, you know, at the gym when I forget to bring a Herman Hesse, Fyodor Dostoevsky or Alice Walker book, I surf the treadmills and work out bikes for cerebral articles to
read: someone left a copy of the New York Times, I say to myself, yippee! A
discarded science
magazine, Discover; joy! The Village Voice (save for the nasty sex ads all over the
newspapers, but the intelligent and very in depth articles compensates for that minor infraction) or a classic novel, pray not any tacky fake phony fantasy Harlequin book nonsense! Unfortunately, because I live in New York, I come across this garbage (i.e. The New York Post)
Newspaper laying around the gym, discarded by the readers (who could blame them).
So, reluctantly, I pick up used, battered New York Post newspapers, never buying them, but reading them, knowing that I shouldn''t bother. It is the same reason why I shouldn''t eat sugar and chips, but I do, and tomorrow there are zits on my face. The fifth grade level reading of the magazine, the jovial and bantering nature of the news by its unethical journalists who have no scruples, the stupid gossip of plastic surgery over tanned, stars who try to retain their youthfulness (to no avail, they look wrinkly to me), make me want to vomit and keep my diet vows.
When I read The New York Post, I feel cheap and sleazy. I begin to think of all the dummies in the Tri-state are of New York who read it. Based on the low intellectual contents of The New York Post, blue collar uneducated people who delight in belittling others around them and the wealthy, whom they are jealous of, read the newspaper. What loser mentality! I''m a winner, I read insightful, well written newspapers and books that nourish my soul and my mind.
