NEW YORK SUN FOLDS: "Guideline For Interns" Blamed
The rightwing neocon New York Sun has published its last edition. From now on, Gotham hysterics, worried that Israel will cede the West Bank or that America won't go to war with Iran or that a guy with a Muslim sounding name will become President, will only have the New York Post to weep over with their morning coffee.
Yes, there are other rightwing papers. But not even the Wall Street Journal is a fullblown neocon paper whose motto could be, "But is it good for the Likud party?."
Anyway, I told my oldest son that the Sun had folded and he said, "good. Did you see their guidelines for interns." I hadn't. But here they are.
The Old Testmanent Lord works in mysterious ways.
PS I feel bad when any newspaper folds. But the Sun was not a newspaper. It was Sean Hannity on paper. My sympathy goes to the people who lost their jobs.
Free Markets, baby!

Good Riddance, indeed--when I lived in NYC, teh Sun was always an extremely marginal rag. There were always 3 pristine copies for sale every day at my coffee shop, and there they sat untouched all day until they were replaced with the next days' agitprop.
It had more presence nationally, likely because of its official sounding name, but now it goes permanently into the dumpster where it belongs.
