Point well taken.
I was known to pick up one on occasion when I lived in SF simply because they sometimes covered something local that the Chronicle missed, but I've never taken the Examiner particularly seriously since Hearst sold it.
This one, though, seemed a little careless even for them, as they seem to have the fantasy of becoming a credible voice in multiple markets around the country these days.
