Hmm. You haven't seen it? I used to avoid the building so I wouldn't 
have to step in it.

You have to look at the recent history of the New York Daily News. I 
used to work for Tribune when the paper was close to its prime. Today 
it's barely a pamphlet. The New York Post used to be a sleazy black 
and white smudgy rag. It's swapped places with the News and is now a 
full color sleazy rag.

The New York Times is still smudgy. Always make sure you get a 
plastic bag for the Sunday edition.

Always remember that broadcasting is a newspaper's nemesis. I never 
expect a positive story about radio or TV.

I recall WNBC-TV doing a story with Ralph Penza about the dangers of 
electronic signals from cell sites and high voltage power lines. I 
emailed him asking why he didn't include the high powered TV station 
he was using to report the dangers. I should have suggested a story 
about the number of 5 megawatt UHF stations around the country. I 
never got an answer.
