[LINK] Newspapers online

[David Goldstein]

Given you've been making outlandish statements with no metrics applied through all this discussion, I fail to see why I should have to justify myself with providing metrics on this one. Not one of your "claims" has any basis. In fact, your "claims" are mostly, if not totally, prejudiced garbage.
