People on Lancasteronline are ripping on me for calling the Daily Telegraph in London a "tabloid" because it's printed on broadsheet paper. Not tabloid size paper.
I carefully explained to them that I was referring to tabloid journalism, which is simply lurid and sensational journalism. Think about it. Tabloid TV is not on tabloid size TVs. Tabloid Internet sites aren't on tabloid size Internet pages. But this wasn't good enough. This librul, HARV1, could not believe that I did not know that tabloid size is 11 x 17 because anyone who uses Desktop software would know this.
One problem, a tabloid is a newspaper format particularly popular in the United Kingdom, which is roughly 23½ by 14 3/4 inches (597 by 375 mm) per spread.
What a stupid, fuck-faced asshole!

It looks like some kind of automated Web crawler that is designed to plant spam on blog comments has found Smart Retorts. I have comments turned off on Looking At Lancaster, you might want to consider doing the same.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the expletive, your comment about Tabloid Journalism is right on. I usually collect that kind of comment myself whenever I am able to make a valid point; it seems that a few people can't stand it when there is a possibility that someone else is right.
Please go easy on Becky, she's got issues of her own. We need every one of us working to hold the establishment accountable.
