Washington Post SUX!!!

Luxorreb · 11-06-2005, 06:47 AM

I've read the Washington Post since I was able to. Probably around 1976 or so... I no longer live in the area but if the online coverage on the Redskins has declined in the last few years as it has in the written page I'm appalled. I will be headed up to Fed Ex today and pick up a post on the way. But I have noticed in the last 2 years atleast the ONLINE coverage has become scant, medicocre and pretty much the same stuff you can read on ESPN online and even MSN sports. Maybe the Post hates Snyder and staff, but shouldn't they realize their viewers? Guess enough people buy the same text as found on espn and cnn? Bring back my old homer Washington Post. Local paper should include more local sports team than a nfl.com couple of articles and just less than than team pages of NFL digest. Shame on you Washington Post. Give the people atleast the sports coverage they want and used to have! Keep getting the lead stories from CNN I don't care...

i agree but we all continue to read and value their opinions

I agree it's just frustrating sometimes...

This morning's sports page has 2 columns and 3 full pages of coverage. The printed paper is just fine. The post is in the newspaper business not the online news business.

hence why i always read the Print Edition online
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...int/index.html

by the time I get around to reading the Post online, the articles have changes and have been updated. i hit the print edition link and select my readings that way.

Try the virginia pilot online I have never subscribed but have always been able to access. They have decent coverage of the skins and did a good job in preseason covering alot of players. If it tries to make you subscribe to read an article just back screen and try again and it will let you in.
