Newsday is a crap, leftist rag from Long Island. They worship at the feet of Carolyn McCarthy and love to promote her agenda at every opportunity. A few months back they decided to start charging people to view their website. Not a little either, $260 per year.

According to the Observer, only 35 people have signed up to pay for access. They grossed $9K after spending $4M on redesigning their website.
HA!
