Fun with Stereotypes

Jonah Goldberg writes for National Review about who is running the country.

The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don’t really understand the New York Times. They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie-chart format. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country, and they did a far superior job of it, thank you very much. And so on.

The list gets updated from time to time, and it usually includes, “The National Inquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.” You get the point.

But the joke is on us. You see, no one is running the country.
