We've discovered yet another quality which separates us from the dreaded "mainstream media." And this little distinguishing quality is the ways in which we make fun of the New York Post.

See, the Post (which according to Ad Age is not MSM), has a gossipy tabloid tone that the stuff shirts tease … because they're jealous.

Like the teen who writes nasty things about a girl in his MySpace profile because he can't admit he likes her, many mainstream-media journalists and pundits sneer at the Post because they can't admit how frustrated they are by their inability to achieve the paper's lively, confident, insider's tone.

Whereas we make fun of the Post for getting EIC's names wrong, not crediting blogs, running items on the psychic who says the Daily News will die, and Richard Johnson's DUIs .

Plus, doesn't everyone make more fun of the New York Times?
