The Daily News was once the voice of blue-collar conservatism in New York. The writing was punchy and fun to read. They also had a terrific stable of columnists like Jimmy Breslin who really knew the city. Reading the Sunday News on Saturday night was a common ritual in many homes. But, as the saying goes, "roll left and die". Which they did.

Ironically the NY Post was once a hard left paper. It was weird to see the News and the Post trade ideological places.

They also traded sales positions. When Billy Joel sand “New York State of Mind” he mentions the New York Times and the Daily News, as they were forefront then. Before the big newspaper strike it was hard to even GET the NY post in Connecticut past New Haven. No more.
