“it is beneath the dignity of a quality newspaper”
that’s why it ended up in the major new york fish wrapper.
When I exited the hotel this morning to find my car covered in 4" of snow, I went back inside to get something to clean it off. After securing a styrofoam plate from the breakfast bar, I returned outside for the task. I joked with a man standing outside of the hotel that "I wish they had a copy of the NY Times, as it would be much better for this task. But....that's all it is good for." We both had a good chuckle.
"quality newspaper" indeed.
