There are various signs that you are becoming a bigger better city.  One of them is how many newspapers are readily available for purchase, and for the first time, Atlanta has crossed into the zone.  Of course there is the local rag, and it’s easy to get the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Financial Times, and the Christian Science Monitor.

Now however, there is alternative.  If you want to crawl through the newspaper equivalent of Bill O’Reilly’s Brain… if you want to read the Weekly World News‘ leap toward semi-legitimate news coverage… if you want to discover the true meaning of tabloid journalism, you should go the Kroger at Brookwood Station…

There you can buy the daily national edition of The New York Post.  Now, it’s a buck seventy-five, and it’s not as big as the New York edition (which is only a quarter), but still…  How can you match headlines such as “Burger Flippers are K-Fed Up!” (about the Former Mr. Britney Spears Superbowl commercial)?  Or “Foe unfurls Trump Move” (about a lawsuit against Donald Trump)?   This right wing populist rag now has a place on Atlanta newsstands… for better or worse.
