    On a serious note, can anyone who reads RedEye on a regular basis tell me if this is the kind of stuff you find in there on a daily basis? My impression was it wasn't quite as dumbed down.

    http://poynter.org/forum/view_post.asp?id=13599

    The fact is, I agree with her to a great extent.

    We write things here -- not mainstream print -- that I never would have dreamed of considering in any of my print jobs.

    Different audiences, different sensibilities.

    No. In fact, I quite enjoy RedEye.
