Well... I went out this morning before the crack of dawn (these 7:30 AM games have reconfigured my schedule) to get my NYT. Went to three different places. No NYT! I finally relented and bought the the local fish wrapper. Got home and pulled out the sports section for news of our massive day. NOTHING! Then I remembered one of the many reasons I don't buy this rag. The paper marked Sunday June, 13, 2010 is published on Friday night. so it can be on the stands for Saturday purchase. This paper is 36 hours old by Sunday at 6:00 AM!
The paper itself is one half fliers and coupons and one half editorial anyway. Terrible layout. Horrible mixing of 20 different fonts on the same page. No header alignment. Civic boosterism of a shameful fawning attitude. The old Atlanta Journal under Ralph McGill had a great reputation for fearlessness during the Civil Rights days. This current edition is a shadow of those times. Lesson relearned.
