I SHOULDA GOOGLED IT
We know there's nothing new under the sun. Ditto on the Internet. < FONT color=#003399>Newspaper Wit and Wisdom turns out to have been around for years with minor variations and some additions, i.e.: "The Seattle Times is read by people who spill coffee all over it." But the basic list was posted on Sept. 17, 2000, as Print Media Explained. That seems to be the earliest posting. It was posted again, four days later, as Ever Wonder Who's Reading What? In October of that year The Nation magazine took note of it as Readership Survey (second item down), and it has popped up ever since on more blogs than I care to count. Tom Magliozzi even read it on the air on "Car Talk" back in March 2002. The next thing you know it will turn up in Bush campaign ads.
