Gawker - Where Is the Great American News City?
Some sample news topic summaries:
New York: Wall Street. Fashion. The media capital of the world. Billionaires. Criminals. Mafiosos. Immigrants. Everything’s grand!
Los Angeles: Hollywood. Movie stars. Celebrities. Parties. Drugs. Bloods. Crips. Speidi. Beaches. Hippies. Weed. Glamor!
Chicago: Machine politics. Daley. Throwback Obama. Projects. Vice Lords. Second City. Jordanesque!
Miami: Vice. Cocaine cowboys. South Beach. Cubans. Jamaicans. Retirees. Cigarette boats. Money. Mosquitoes. Storms. Carl Hiaasen. Dave Barry. America’s landing strip!
Jordan? Vice Lords?! Apparently Gawker hasn’t visited Chicago or read news from here since 1992. Asshats.

Miami in this list? Really? Because of Dave Barry. Oh, Knight-Ridder… Miami, a media capital? Really?

I’m surprised they didn’t mention “Good Times”. Also, “Projects”? As in housing projects? Aren’t they in a lot of cities...
