Wow. That must be quite a relief for you. I hear their new slogan is going to be: "We decline, you whine." Anybody see the Chicago Trib article on purported Koran desecrations by US military folks? Looks like the Red Cross is talking now. Should they now be held responsible for anti-American riots in Afghanistan as well? Or will it be The Tribune? Oh my gosh, so many guilty parties to blame for General Georgie's military debacles.

They're still about 40% above CNN's. Ellard, it’s sixth consecutive month, not quarter, and everybody in the news biz’s ratings (including blogs) saw a drop-off after the election.

And that blaming a news magazine for Bush's myriad failures in South Asia is a gambit that just isn't going to make it with as many people as it might have a year or two back?

Without that, the press really has nothing other than a couple soldiers acting like jerks, which is hardly news.
