And the WaPo isn't even a national paper. It's a local paper that gets some attention from the national press purely because of its location and its history with Watergate.
The only truly national papers in the states are the NYT and the WSJ. USAToday, too, I guess, but only because they give it away in every hotel in the country. It's a liteweight.
The important traditional press movers are the network news broadcasts that run at 6.30PM every evening on NBC, CBS and ABC. (Fox, thankfully, doesn't have one on its main station.) McCain's people resigning over their Burma connections is getting a good bit of play, and Howard Dean's "100 Years" ad has been getting a lot of attention from the press. And McCain has been taking a hit over his gas-tax pander, as well as for trying to call Obama the candidate of Hamas. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
Does seem like I see more FT's than WSJ's on the train these days, though.
